In Memoriam: Hung Liu, 1948–2021

Hung Liu, an accomplished artist based in Oakland, California, died on August 7. Born in Changchun, a city in northeastern China, Liu emigrated in 1984 to attend graduate school at the University of California, San Diego. Liu was one of the first Chinese-born artists to establish a successful career in the United States. A major retrospective exhibition of her work, “Hung Liu: Portraits of Promised Lands,” opens at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., on August 27. Another exhibition of her work, “Hung Liu: Golden Gate,” is on view at the de Young Museum in San Francisco through March 13, 2022.

GSA is honored to have this painting by Hung Liu in the Fine Arts Collection:

Hung Liu, “Nightingale,” 2002
oil on canvas, 60 x 60 inches
San Francisco Federal Building

Hung Liu used historical photographs as her source material for this vibrant painting, which also draws upon her memories of growing up in China. The young girl in the painting wears a Mao-type jacket, and is depicted in a way that recalls the state-approved, academic style that Liu first learned as a muralist. The painting’s elaborate background of cranes and stylized curls resemble the patterns found in traditional Chinese woodblock prints, which Liu has rendered in her own mature style of loose brushstrokes and aqueous drips that run down the surface of the canvas.

Check out this spectacular 1939 mural by NY artist William Gropper at the @usinterior building in Washington, D.C! The mural celebrates the construction of a dam and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) workers who built it.

In 1934, the federal government began loaning or allocating the movable artworks created under the New Deal art programs to public agencies and nonprofit institutions. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is the federal agency responsible for inventorying these loaned artworks. #NY #newdeal #doi #nystatehoodday #FineArts

The 550,000-square-foot Birch Bayh Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, managed by GSA and located one block north of Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis, is named for former Indiana State Legislator and U.S. Senator Birch Evans Bayh. Built in the Beaux Arts style in 1905 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the Bayh U.S. Courthouse is a steel-framed, flat-roofed structure clad with Indiana Limestone, resting on a gray granite foundation. The original richly ornamented interior design elements remain intact, including mosaic tile ceilings, a cantilevered marble staircase, stained glass windows, and decorative artwork and furnishings. The major historic interior spaces of the building are the first-floor lobbies and connecting corridor and the original courtrooms in the southeast and southwest corners of the second floor.

Democratic by Design: Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture

In 1962, President Kennedy authorized the Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture, written by Daniel Patrick Moynihan to raise Americans' expectations of federal buildings.Democratic by Design: Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture commemorates the golden anniversary of this document, and celebrates its positive impact on government's investment in the public realm. With narration by Luke Russert, the film features leading thinkers and practitioners in American architecture, who recount Senator Moynihan's criteria for design. Surveying the work of GSA's Public Buildings Service and other federal agencies, these commentators also examine the ways the guiding principles are interpreted to maximize the benefits of federal architecture. Democratic by Design is both a retrospective of a seminal policy achievement and a road map for another 50 years of excellence. Democratic by Design reflects the special role of public buildings in American life. They aid in delivery of vital services, and they define roles and values of our society.
