Props:
Personal identities in the Portrait Photography of Richard Samuel Roberts
The
term “props” brings to mind the objects used in the theater that help establish
the meaning of a scene. In this theater context, the word is shortened from
“properties,” things collectively owned by a theater group. But could the term
also reflect the notion that props show “properties” of a character, offering
layers of information and meaning to a viewer.? “Props” is also a slang term,
meaning “proper respect.” In this show, we analyze the props in photographic
portraits taken by RSR between 1920-1936 to see the way that the “props”—most
often objects chosen by the sitters themselves—tell us something about the
self-identity of the sitters. The objects chosen often underscore the proper
respect due the sitters based on their attainments, but also can give
insights—in an otherwise very formulaic genre—into the inner desires and
predilections of the sitters. Props thus can help us see beyond the surface,
or, perhaps conversely, can reify socially-agreed upon tropes.

Art Exhibit: Southern Gothic: Literary Intersections w/Art from the Johnson Collection, Richardson Family Art Museum (upper level)
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
From the haunting novels of William
Faulkner to the gritty short stories of Flannery O'Connor, the Southern Gothic
literary tradition has exhumed and examined the American South’s unique
mystery, contradictions, and dark humor. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth
century, American writers, epitomized by Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel
Hawthorne, sought to reinterpret the Gothic imagination of their European
counterparts, dramatizing the cultures and characters of a region in the midst
of civil war and its tumultuous aftermath. Decades later, a new generation of
authors—including Tennessee Williams, Carson McCullers, and Toni Morrison—wove
Gothic elements into their own narratives, exploring the complexities of a changing
social terrain and the ancient spirits that linger in its corners.
With works drawn exclusively from the
Johnson Collection, Southern Gothic illuminates how nineteenth- and
twentieth-century artists employed a potent visual language to transcribe the
tensions between the South’s idyllic aura and its historical realities. Often
described as a mood or sensibility rather than a strict set of thematic or
technical conventions, features of the Southern Gothic can include horror,
romance, and the supernatural. While academic painters such as Charles Fraser
and Thomas Noble conveyed the genre’s gloomy tonalities in their canvases,
Aaron Douglas and Harry Hoffman grappled with the injustices of a modern world.
Other artists, including Alexander Brook and Eugene Thomason, investigated
prevailing stereotypes of rural Southerners—a trope often accentuated in
Southern Gothic literature. Collectively, these images demonstrate that
definitions of the Gothic are neither monolithic nor momentary, inviting us,
instead to contemplate how the Southern Gothic legacy continues to inform our
understanding of the American South.
