Theresa Bernstein: A Century of Art will be on view at the Walter J. Manninen Center for the Arts May 2 through July 11, 2014.

The American artist Theresa Bernstein (1890–2002) made and exhibited her work in every decade of the twentieth century. Bernstein’s style began as a kind of realism, often linked by critics to the Ashcan School, but ended up more expressionist. Musically inclined, she was a fan of opera, dance and jazz. She painted Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Charlie Parker, and Martha Graham, as well as Verdi’s Requiem. Her subjects include suffrage meetings, World War I parades, immigrants in the 1920s, hippies in the 1960s, and scenes of the fishing port and artist colony Gloucester.
