Mabel Dwight\u00a0<\/a>(1876\u20131955) wrote that keeping \u201ca cool head and a warm heart\u201d was essential to making art that would be a \u201cliving influence on the world.\u201d Dwight came to New York at the turn of the century as an illustrator and later fell in with the downtown artists who frequented the Whitney Studio Club, a precursor to the Museum. She ultimately found her voice in the swooping lines and seamless gradients of lithography. This democratic print medium became her primary vehicle for portraying her constant subject: the people and places of New York.<\/p>\n

Dwight\u2019s self-described \u201csocialist\u201d vision of the world was of dignity across the socio-economic divides. Her crowd scenes depict individuals\u2014usually rendered with a gently curving stroke, dramatic lighting, and delicate highlights\u2014 each taking part in a greater whole. Her intimate portraits offer uniquely expressive faces, and her overtly political images are as theatrical as her vision of the stage. All her subjects, whether selling balloons, strolling home, or waiting for the day to pass, possess the inner glow of what Dwight called \u201cthe stuff of life.\u201d The life in Dwight\u2019s prints came from her own\u2014she spent her free time roaming the city, from Harlem to Staten Island, sketching in a notebook hidden inside her jacket. Back at her apartment, Dwight would revise her images and then carefully transfer them to a stone or a zinc plate, from which multiple impressions could be printed and inexpensively made available to the public.<\/p>\n
