"Strokes of Electricity"
The ArtWorks of Woody Guthrie

STROKES OF ELECTRICITY is an exhibition of selected visual works by renowned American folk musician and activist Woody Guthrie. Curated and designed by Nora Guthrie and Steven Brower, fifty-eight high-quality reproductions of political cartoons, pen and ink illustrations, watercolors, children's art, and oil paintings represent various stages and developments in Guthrie’s life as a visual artist. With images and text drawn from the eponymous publication, “Woody Guthrie Artworks, The Journals, Drawings, and Sketchbooks of an American Original” (Rizzoli 2005), the exhibit unveils a previously unexplored aspect of this American icon.
