US Critics and Racial Anxiety at the 1925 Exposition
What was behind the heated—some even called it “hysterical”—responses by US critics to the 1925 Exposition des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes? This article uses the close reading of primary documents and speculative counternarratives to argue that anxiety about the racialized identity of modern design played a role in the US reactions. Prior to 1925, the modernism of the Parisian art world included extensive exploration and appropriation…
Add Bates, the 306 Studio, and Interlocking Modernisms in Mid-Twentieth-Century Harlem
This article traces the career of Addison “Add” Bates, a furniture maker, dancer, and sometime-gallerist who was active in Harlem art circles from the 1930s through the 1960s. It highlights his connections to painters Jacob Lawrence—who may have painted him in his workshop—and Romare Bearden—for whom he staged the artist’s first solo show; as well as commissions for Richard Wright and a working relationship with Ralph Ellison. His artistic philos…
The Shape of Craft
Ezra Shales’s 2017 volume is an engaging and thought-provoking intervention in the literature on contemporary craft. Not quite a historical narrative, nor yet a biographical study, and certainly no
John Vassos
Danielle Shapiro's new work is the first book-length study of John Vassos's varied design career. Born John Vassacopoulos in Romania in 1898, he immigrated to the United States in 1918. In the interwar decades he became an influential modernist designer, working as an advertising artist, graphic designer, industrial designer, and interior designer. He continued to work in exhibition and industrial design in the postwar years and died in 1985. Som…
Appealing to fear
Fear appeals are a polarizing issue, with proponents confident in their efficacy and opponents confident that they backfire. We present the results of a comprehensive meta-analysis investigating fear appeals' effectiveness for influencing attitudes, intentions, and behaviors. We tested predictions from a large number of theories, the majority of which have never been tested meta-analytically until now. Studies were included if they contained a tr…
When it comes to lifestyle recommendations, more is sometimes less
A meta-analysis of 150 research reports summarizing the results of multiple behavior domain interventions examined theoretical predictions about the effects of the included number of recommendations on behavioral and clinical change in the domains of smoking, diet, and physical activity. The meta-analysis yielded 3 main conclusions. First, there is a curvilinear relation between the number of behavioral recommendations and improvements in behavio…
Motivational barriers to retention of at-risk young adults in HIV-prevention interventions
Multi-session HIV-prevention interventions are efficacious but depend on the retention of clients over time. In a sample of at-risk young adults (N = 386), we investigated three potential motivational barriers that might affect the likelihood of retention. Perceived pressure, perceived efficacy and fear and anxiety during the initial session were measured, along with demographic characteristics, partner characteristics, and HIV-related health kno…

Reducing cultural and psychological barriers to Latino enrollment in HIV-prevention counseling
Aspects of Latino culture (e.g., machismo, marianism) can act as barriers to enrollment in HIV-prevention programs. To lift these barriers, a culturally appropriate meta-intervention was designed to increase intentions to enroll in HIV-prevention counseling by Latinos. Latino participants (N=41) were recruited from the community and randomly assigned to either an experimental or control meta-intervention condition that varied the introduction to …
Fearing a “Conservative Public”
The Worcester Art Museum staged an exhibition of the modernist Dial Collection in 1924, featuring expressive, vibrant paintings by Matisse, Bonnard, Munch, Demuth, Picasso, and others. This article takes the exhibition as a case study that reveals lesser-known circuits of transmission for modern art in the U.S. in the decade after the Armory Show. Motivations both selfish and grand brought The Dial’s avant-garde art to this mid-level city. Scofie…

Ambivalence, Irony, and Americana
This article examines the canvases and photographs made by Charles Sheeler between 1926 and 1939 of his own collection of Shaker furniture, hooked rugs, and nineteenth-century ceramics. It argues that the paintings possess modernist self-consciousness, ambivalence, and irony toward their historical subject matter and that they critique the contemporary collecting fad for all things Americana. The article sets Sheeler’s paintings in the context of…
