Celebrating its 80th Anniversary, USC Fisher Museum of Art was honored to be visited yesterday by Dana Dramov, the great, great, great granddaughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Holmes Fisher. In 1937, USC accepted a gift from Elizabeth Holmes Fisher to construct what is now know as the USC Fisher Museum of Art, dedicated on November 14, 1939. Dana Dramov is also a graduate of the USC School of Architecture and we are thrilled that she continues to be very involved in her family’s legacy to USC! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
In honor of #EarthDay and our most recent exhibition ‘Staged Meaning/Meaning Staged’ featuring landscape works from Fisher’s permanent collection, we’d like to highlight Gustavo Acosta’s ‘Early One Morning’ (2008). Acosta, influenced heavily by American Realism, observes and portrays certain parts of the world that are often overlooked. It is artists like Acosta that allow us to pay close attention to the environment around us ⭐️☀️ #HappyEarthDay! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ‘Early One Morning’ Gustavo Acosta (Cuban, b. 1958) 2008 Gift of the estate of Dr. and Mrs. James L.

“Two young children led into an ominous industrial landscape by a white-dressed heroine: a personification of fate. The nakedness and youth of these children, a common visual allegory for Saudek, plays into the theme of corruption... Saudek’s photography points at the failures of the Czechoslovakian government while simultaneously engaging with Czechoslovakian people, encouraging a sense of awareness of their environment.” - Corey Gordon Come check out our current exhibit Suppression, Subversion and the Surreal: The Art of Czechoslovakian Resistance! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #WorkofArtWednesday •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Jan Saudek ‘Fate Descends Toward River, Leading Two Innocent Children’ about 1980 Gelatin silver print

Work of Art Wednesday! Carlos Almaraz’s ‘Untitled’ (Street Scene) 1989, gives us an intimate glimpse of the beautiful urbanscapes in Los Angeles. With a Mexican-American background, his small scale yet vibrant paintings make you stop for a moment and invite the viewer to look through his lenses of his surroundings. Come check out this work and several of Almaraz’s paintings at our exhibit Staged Meaning/Meaning Staged! **ON VIEW UNTIL THIS SATURDAY APRIL 13th** only a few days left to come see these beautiful landscape works!
