By 1935 she was working for one of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal agencies, the Resettlement Administration (later the Farm Security Administration), bringing attention to the plights of sharecroppers, displaced families, and migrant workers. One day in Nipomo, California—driving home after a weeks-long assignment—the photographer stopped at a pea farm, where she came across a mother and her children, clearly desperate and close to starvation. Lange later recalled approaching them “as if drawn by a magnet.” The woman’s name was Florence Owens Thompson, and the result of their encounter was seven exposures, including \u003cem\u003eMigrant Mother\u003c\/em\u003e, which would become an emblem of the era and a landmark in the history of photography.

In 1940, in the wake of a divorce from her husband, the artist Diego Rivera, Kahlo turned to self-portraiture to express her deepest emotional and psychological impulses, and completed a painting inscribed with the lyrics of a popular song: “Look, if I loved you it was for your hair. Now that you’re without it, I no longer love you.” The work contains an array of influences and references that encompass both popular culture and details from the artist’s private life.

Ultimately an ironist, he celebrated postwar America’s ascendant consumer culture while at the same time exposing its banality, monotony, and excess.

His landmark 1951 painting \u003cem\u003eColors for a Large Wall\u003c\/em\u003e was the culmination of an extraordinarily productive moment in Kelly’s early career, a time when he developed a singular form of abstraction. After serving in the US Army during World War II, he returned to France in 1948, courtesy of the GI Bill, and lived and worked there until 1954. Connecting with artists of an earlier generation, discovering Paris with his peers, and surveying monuments of the past, Kelly began an audacious journey in which, paradoxically, he sought to eliminate “invention” from the process of making art. Curator Jodi Hauptman traces the evolution of \u003cem\u003eColors for a Large Wall\u003c\/em\u003e, unpacking Kelly’s toolbox and illuminating his dedication to close looking, his embrace of chance, and his ambition to create art on a public scale. 48 pp.; 37 illus.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEach volume in the One on One series is a sustained meditation of a single work from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.

Indicative of the artist’s pursuit to break down the conventional boundaries between the fine and applied arts, the work defies easy categorization. Its stylized features—a single eye, a long trapezoidal nose, delicately beaded “earrings”—hint at Taeuber-Arp’s interests in modernist abstraction and in the stuff of everyday life. A dancer, designer, puppet maker, sculptor, and painter at the heart of the Zurich Dada movement, Taeuber-Arp made \u003cem\u003eHead\u003c\/em\u003e in the wake of World War I, during a time of profound political and cultural questioning. A century later, her witty wooden figure has lost none of its punch as an investigation of art across aesthetic and material boundaries rather than within them.

Capturing evanescent configurations of gesture, pose, and expression, her images reveal the street as surreal theater, and everyday life as art and mystery. The unguarded play of children understandably became Levitt’s particular preoccupation. She resisted political readings of her work and distanced herself from the progressive impulses of social documentary photography. But class, race, and gender are sharply, if quietly, observed in her images. The diffidence and seeming artlessness of Levitt’s work also belie her devotion to both popular and avant-garde cinema, the work of other photographers, and the art being shown in the city’s galleries and museums. Art historian Shamoon Zamir reveals the complexity of Levitt’s work through a close reading of one of her most iconic images. 48 pp.; 35 illus.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach volume in the One on One series is a sustained meditation of a single work from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.

In the painting she gazes straight at the viewer, holding up two flowers—symbols of the creativity and procreativity of women artists—and resting a protective hand atop her swelling belly. Modersohn-Becker would die three weeks after giving birth, at age thirty-one, still to be recognized as the first woman artist to challenge centuries of representations of the female body. Today this compelling work claims an important place at The Museum of Modern Art as the earliest painting by a woman on view in the collection galleries.

Throughout her long career, Porset—who was born in Cuba but spent much of her life in Mexico—pioneered the design of modern interiors and furnishings, succeeding in an era that offered few opportunities for the professional development of women. In this latest volume of MoMA’s One on One series, scholar and curator Ana Elena Mallet explores Porset’s interpretation of the butaque, the traditional low-slung chair found throughout Latin America. Porset’s butaque—distinctively modern yet rooted in ancient cultures—demonstrates how a single item of design can convey multitudes about society, regional identity, and intersecting histories. 48 pp.; 34 illus.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEach volume in the One on One series is a sustained meditation of a single work from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.

His Broadacre City, an expansive vision of urban and environmental renewal, focused on personal independence, respect for nature, and the equitable distribution of resources—including a “broad acre” of land for every family. Wright’s career was in decline in the early 1930s, and he staked his comeback on this ambitious proposal, which he continued to refine until his death in 1959. A colossal relief model of Broadacre City—painstakingly constructed by Wright and his apprentices in 1934–35—is a highlight of the collection of The Museum of Modern Art. In this volume of MoMA’s One on One series, design historian Juliet Kinchin examines the ideals and contradictions of this unrealized project by one of the twentieth century’s most influential architects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 700003","offers":[{"title":"Multi \/ One Size","offer_id":44486852968678,"sku":"900153-900153","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/7962\/2630\/files\/c5bfe30c-9471-430e-b8f7-467f2d1496ea.jpg?v=1719591832"},{"product_id":"pablo-picasso-boy-leading-a-horse-one-on-one-series-paperback","title":"Pablo Picasso: Boy Leading a Horse, MoMA One on One Series – Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Annemarie Iker \n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn 1905 the young Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) was at a crossroads in his career.

Its two steel-and-concrete towers supported 140 prefabricated living “capsules,” as sleekly and compactly outfitted as sailing cabins, intended as restorative cocoons for commuting businessmen. Kurokawa planned the building to change over time, with individual capsules refurbished or replaced to accommodate society’s evolving needs, and although the tower fell into disrepair in the late 1990s and was ultimately dismantled in 2022, this evolution never stopped. Its inhabitants continually transformed the building over its fifty years of existence: some adapted the capsules into private creative spaces such as personal projection rooms and writing retreats, while others reimagined them as sites for community, in galleries, tearooms, and party spaces. An essay by the curator Evangelos Kotsioris delves into the groundbreaking design, construction, demolition, and legacy of this remarkable building, which reshaped the way we think about inhabiting cities. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e48 pp.; 35 illus.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eEach volume in the One on One series is a sustained meditation of a single work from the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.

Tapping deep into the non-rational mechanisms of his mind—dreams, the imagination and the subconscious— and utilizing what he called “the usual paralyzing tricks of eye-fooling,” Dalí claimed that he made this painting with “the most imperialist fury of precision,” but only “to systematize confusion and thus to help discredit completely the world of reality.” Curator Anne Umland unpacks this uncanny masterpiece, placing it within Dalí’s long career as artist, author, critic, impresario and provocateur. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 700003","offers":[{"title":"Multi \/ One Size","offer_id":46471406223590,"sku":"900175-900175","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/7962\/2630\/files\/ccf9baf3-e422-4503-b74a-61b355df2f08.jpg?v=1757962587"}],"url":"https:\/\/store.moma.org\/en-ag\/collections\/moma-one-on-one-series.oembed","provider":"MoMA Design Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
