Artists dealing with social and plenty social and political content. A lot of these artists throughout history have recognized the artforms ability to bring about social change. Later, we will make our way to the top of hayden butte and hear about the man credited 40 settlement, Charles Hayden. He was a Community Builder in a wider sense. Thinking about what could he do to help the Community Get bigger and that is in a lot of ways why his figure has become bigger historically. We begin the hour at the asu library, where we will looking at items from two long serving senators, Barry Goldwater and carl hayden. The arizona collection here at the asu library preserves accessible the papers of 14 members of congress from arizona. The goldwater papers and the hayden papers are the two largest archival collections that document the works of the arizona congressional delegation. Hayden is an interesting individual because his father was the first white settler of the city in about 1870. He built his home along the salt river, in a place that is now called mill avenue after the mill he built. Charles trumbull haydens son was carl hayden, born in tempe, went on to attend the Arizona Territorial School here and then became the first u. S. Congressman. Senator from 1969. Goldwater lived in scottsdale and always had a strong relationship with the university. For the students, faculty, visiting scholars and the general public, they are available for research and interpretation. Carl hayden, through his 57 year aseer in congress was known the silent senator. He had the reputation of being the workhorse, not the show horse. Goldwater was a longtime senator from arizona and many would describe him as the show horse. Is whent really means you look at carl haydens career he was responsible for writing and cowriting a huge amount of legislation a benefited the citizens of arizona and the citizens of the United States. Legacy, arranging for the passage of legislation like the haydencartwright act which change the formula for federal highway Construction Funding from a populationbased funding to an area or square mileagebased funding. Benefited the states in the west where there were large expanses of land yet to be settled and highway construction could proceed with that kind of funding. Barry goldwater was an icon for the western United States. He was an individual remembered for his president ial campaign conservativeented republican politics. He was very much a show horse that represented the freedom of the west, they rugged individualism of the west. He had a strong jaw and bright eyes that reminded people of what it was like or what people believed it was like to live in the western United States. Through his president ial campaign and his work in the United States senate, he was a person who represented the interests of the west to the general population and presented a new idea what the west could be. The first material we will look at today is this lovely handwritten ledger which presents the first minutes of the arizona Territorial Normal School. Senatorden foss haydens father was the first president of the Territorial Normal School and you can see firstgnature here at the Normal School in 1885. Being the leading citizen in the town, he saw a great opportunity to bring the institution to tempe. School,ended the normal graduated in 1896 and went to stanford university. We mentioned he became our first u. S. Representative from arizona and became an important member of the United States senate. I have selected some materials from the hayden papers. To doarticular file has with highway construction and planning. We can see its a fairly typical file containing publications about the topic he is working on. Andave draft legislation correspondence from constituents. To they going back Arizona Hotel association talking about the implication for route selection as they build freeways and highways using the federal highway funds that resulted from the Hayden Cartwright act. This is a typical file where we see letters written in response to the inquiry from the arizona motor hotel association. It is representative of the kind of work representatives do every day on behalf of their state and district. Senator hayden served in congress at a time when our political figures were largerthanlife heroes. Certainly, the centers longevity in congress made him and there were lots of people in arizona. Everyone knew everyone and everyone knew about carl hayden in the day he served in congress and the United States senate. The citizens were given the opportunity offering the on thet congratulations occasion of his 80th birthday. Invited to come and sign these books. We have about eight of them. Large, heavy books of signatures and dresses and contact informations for individuals who loved carl hayden and wanted to wish him happy birthday. The book for me symbolizes value of his Public Service and the way arizona citizens honored and loved carl hayden because of what he did for them in representing our interests in congress. Senator hayden was come was preparing for his last campaign for the senate which occurred in the fall of 1962. Supporters of the senator who were concerned about his ability to win the election given the increasing dominance of republican politics in arizona created an event called the carl hayden Golden University dinner in which thousand democratic supporters from around arizona were invited to the westward ho hotel in Downtown Phoenix to honor senator hayden. Was president john f. Kennedy accompanied by Vice President johnson and a large number of members of congress. We are fortunate to have received video of that event and what we have here is the two inch video that was recording the event when carl hayden was honored by president kennedy in november of 1961. Two inch video is rarely seen these days. There are very few surviving machines that can play this type of videotape and the work to digitize and conserve this type of video is very skilled and professional work. We are very fortunate to have been able to recover this video and it is now online, available for downloading so anyone globally can actually see president kennedy talking about carl hayden and carl hayden talking about meeting William Jennings bryan on the train to washington dc in 1912. Its a wonderful time capsule of carl haydens career, of vice and to havehnson that on video for all to see is a wonderful treasure and great object of study for a little scientists and historians. I had won the nomination but had to wait until the 12th of december, 1911. In 1964, very goldwater was nominated and one the nomination , the republican nomination for election to the office of the president of the United States. That set off many months of campaigning across the united addition to the senatorial materials, we have a large collection of his campaign materials. I have selected a couple of items regarding his campaign. Here, we have a couple of thesic photographs from campaign where we can see barry doing the hard work of trying to become president in 1964. One of the interesting things medias interest in using to assist his campaign for president and so there were many, Many Television appearances and films that were made to support the campaign. Film is an picture very important film in the campaign that had the title, choice. This film has been digitized and is available for viewing here in the goldwater archives. We have hundreds of Motion Picture films and audio recordings of senator goldwaters run. Also media appearances before and after the president ial campaign. Popularity of the senator goldwater demonstrated through his campaign in 1964, he a numberto meet with of distinguished individuals and other Public Servants and met with many president s before and. Fter his president ial campaign we have selected a few oftographs meeting a number president s. We have Barry Goldwater and president gerald ford speaking briefly right outside the oval office. Mounted and there is president fords signature with a nice greeting for president for Barry Goldwater. A little known fact about goldwaters campaign was he met with president eisenhower at eisenhowers farm in gettysburg, pennsylvania. The two of them were close allies in the president ial campaign and you can see the two of them shaking hands in the photograph. We have a nice photograph of Barry Goldwater with president nixon in the white house. They were political rivals in some ways, but as Richard Nixon became president , they became important allies in the efforts to move forward republican legislation. We collect these materials because they support the instructional and Research Needs of our faculty and students. They also did demonstrate the important roles senators and congressmen play representing our interests in washington. Much of the environment in arizona occurs because of projects like the Central Arizona project, the project that brings water for Colorado River to phoenix and tucson. Development in the state of arizona. Having these materials here reminds us of the importance of thedemocracy, reminds us of importance of effective representation in congress and they tell us detailed stories about our families, our neighborhoods, our cities, and the governments that work for us. We are on stage at the Frank Lloyd Wright theater on the campus of asu in arizona. Up next, we visit the art museum to learn more about their collection of local art. Collection is one of the largest. We have 7000 works on paper. For and maded available for close study and viewing here. One of the areas of concentration is artists dealing with social and clinical content. A lot of these artists throughout history have recognized the art forms ability to bring about social change. Living inust like us their own time frame and want to reflect upon what is going on around them. And potentially influence society with their work and the amazing thing about print, it allows them to be powerful social tools. They are relatively inexpensive to produce. There are multiples and they are less expensive to acquire. They penetrate all aspects of society and they are excellent platforms with which to convey both image and text. We selected from the collection a range of prince from the 18th contemporary and what is amazing is while a lot of the specifics change, the settings, the costumes, the specific details of the current event, the broader issues remain the same. The artists are dealing with things like political corruption, like the difference between the rich and the poor, war and the impact of war and throughout history, you will see the artist dealing with these issues. The first friends i pulled were by a dish artist named william hogarth. Engravinghis own will showthe prints i you today are from the 1740s and 50s. He was best known as a satirist editions of large engravings in series, almost like a graphic novel. Witty and biting look at what is going on around him and society. A la mode. Riage this is taking a look at the habits of the very wealthy. Its the story of a couple married off by their parents for a gain. Squanderou have lord who is showing his family tree and marrying off his son over here on the right in very fashionable dress. A black spote see on his neck, which means he has syphilis. The sons name is lord squander field. Merchant rich interested in marrying off his daughter to gain entry in to the aristocracy. In the background, you see a new mentioned lord squander is building, so he needs to gain resources to sell off his son for that reason. Here, he has a cratchits foot is bound because he is out from his extreme living, eating and drinking. Daughter have the looking depressed and being talked in to the marriage by a lawyer called silver tongue. You always have to look for the details in his prints. There are a paradox chained together just like the couple is going to be chained together. This series runs through several pieces and ends with the sun dying in a duel and the daughter committing suicide. Now, we are going to jump to the late 19th century and look at two german artists who both concentrated on the impact of war world war i and world war ii. Also the plight of the poor. War on women and children and others involved. This is an artist and became active in the 19th century and, as i was talking about earlier, she is an artist who chose printmaking as her medium to get the work out there in order to talk about her concerns with society. Her husband was actually a doctor in berlin. In to contactome with the working class and particularly mothers and children. Piece and sherful has written it here at the bottom. A mother with two hungry children shes trying to pacify. Is a piece called revolution where she shows the downtrodden and the poor trying to break out of their restrictions. By an artist who ,as active between the wars between world war i and world war ii. He actually fought briefly in the world war i and a lot of his work from between the wars is looking at the complete breakdown in German Society which rot about nazism. A lot of his work shows the veterans have become beggars who are starving, who were injured in the war and now have no recourse, no profession, so showing the impact of the war. She had a son die in world war i and a grandson die in world war ii. Her work was banned by the nazis in world war ii and lost her position at the german university. Now we are going to move to a selection of works by contemporary artists to use the print medium to talk about social and political issues. These are all works by an artists named sue co. None of these are behind glass, so you can see the quality of the paper and the quality of the print itself, the contrast between light and dark to create these powerful images. Pieces a very powerful about the you need a hill hearings, when she made specific claims of Sexual Harassment against clarence thomas. You can see her interpretation of the hearing where she thought any a hill was demonized. Like a witch. With the broomstick up above, the New York Post tabloid here on the left, i would like to thank america with the kkk and clear interpretation whovery specific senators were in those hearings as well. The ceramics is our second largest and we have some powerful works from an american artist that we would like to share with you today. We are going to look at one of the hidden gems of the Ceramics Research collection. Thats three sculptures by Russell Barnett aiken. Socialite wellknown philanthropist artists and big game hunter have moved to new york city and hung out with a these werethy types created in 1938 just before the United States entered world war ii. Are looking at are the three pieces by Russell Barnett aiken. Ofstart with a sculpture Franklin Delano roosevelt writing by democratic donkey, holding up a microphone and tucked under his arm is a battleship, a worship. Just to his right, we have a about 10 or 11 inches tall of benito mussolini. The column that his gut is resting on and you can see an ethiopian figure thumbing his nose. Ii, so preworld war hes looking at these figures through the lens of the United States which has not gone to work in these countries. Finally, we see the image of adolf hitler. Is tucked into his hand and he is giving a sick ill. Theres a bare breasted mermaid valkyrie with a baby tucked into her arm. Maybe Russell Barnett is talking about eugenics and hitlers wanting the arians to propagate. Sign that says new order with an arrow pointing forward. Thesek we could view sculptures through a couple of different lenses. Andis preworld war ii theres a sort of populist lens that we could look through these. People in the United States were engaged in art and used to seeing art that made statements. To the Works Progress administration and artists like diego rivera, people in the United States worries to seeing murals that made direct statements. I think we can relate these sculptures with the political winds at the time. We can look at this through the lens of socialites in new york city. Seeing nazisdy driving out the jews, the , some ofs, the wealthy residents andwish also many artists and creatives were migrating. The the millionaire millionaire in new york city they would have been commenting on in the time. Its not simply whoever hit his own reliefs his own beliefs. That is what you see in these details percolating up in these sculptures. All weekend, American History tv is featuring tempe, arizona. Cspans city tours staff.
