Description |
Undated woodcut. Inscribed lower left, in pencil, below image: The Parthenon as Restored for Centennial Park, 1896 Dr. A. Ross Pittman was a neuropsychiatrist and former medical missionary in India. Pittman took up printmaking in the 1936 as a hobby, and studied under George A. Bradshaw at the School of Industrial Arts in Trenton, New Jersey. A native Tennessean and graduate of Vanderbilt University and the University of Tennessee, Memphis, many of Pittman's prints depict well-known sites around Tennessee. This print depicts The Parthenon, a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, Greece, built for the classically-themed Tennessee Centennial Exposition of 1896 (actually held in 1897). |
