The Ade Bethune Collection
The Ade Bethune Collection contains the papers of Ade Bethune, a world-renowned liturgical artist and social activist. The story of Ade Bethune is an important chapter in the cultural history of our time. This woman made unique contributions to the field of sacred art & architecture and social justice as an artist, writer, and liturgical consultant, all flowing from her early association with Dorothy Day and the publication of her pictures in The Catholic Worker. Holdings of the Collection cover Ade Bethune's entire career from art school at the National Academy of Design and Cooper Union in New York City in the 1930s to her final projects in the early years of the 21st century. They consist of manuscript and printed materials, as well as a large variety of non-textual materials (graphic, sound, artifact). |
