<b>‘Making No Compromise’: Margaret Anderson and the <i>Little Review
<br>
</i>on view from October 1, 2006, to January 5, 2007<br>
</b> <br>
Famous for her strong opinions about art as well as for her beauty and
wit, radical editor Margaret Anderson was a key figure in American and
European Modernism. Between 1914-1929, Anderson’s pioneering art and
literature magazine the <i>Little Review</i> published poetry, criticism
and artwork by many of the most significant writers and artists of the
twentieth century, including William Butler Yeats, Ezra Pound, Gertrude
Stein, Pablo Picasso, Hart Crane, Man Ray, Mina Loy, Wyndham Lewis, T.S.
Eliot, Sherwood Anderson, and Francis Picabia. James Joyce’s <i>Ulysses
</i>appeared serially in the <i>Little Review </i>before it was published
in its entirety 1922; the <i>Little Review</i> and its editors became the
subjects of a widely-publicized obscenity trial when the United State
Post Office deemed some segments of the work obscene and refused to
distribute copies.<br>
<br>
‘Making No Compromise’ celebrates the life and work of Margaret Anderson
and the <i>Little Review</i>’s remarkable influence on twentieth-century
arts and letters. The exhibition is drawn largely from the Margaret
Anderson-Elizabeth Jenks Clark Collection, housed at the Beinecke
Library.<br><br>
