We are fortunate to have had the means to acquire these spectacular addi tions to our collec­ tions. Generous donors both today and yesterday have helped build our collections. The trust funds donated in earlier generations continue to help us make our most significant purchases of materials. The generos­ ity also continues into the present, as evidenced by the many splendid collections in this exhibit which have been given. We recognize that people give us their beloved collections because they trust us to care for them and make them accessible to scholars and students, and we intend Copyright 2004 by the University of Michigan Library to honor those obligations to the best of our ability.

    View this email in your browser Featured Work: Three Generations William V. Cahill was born in 1878 in Syracuse, NY. He studied illustration at the Art Students League in New York City, maintained a studio in Woodstock, NY, and shared another studio in Boston, MA with John Hubbard Rich. In 1914, Cahill and Rich traveled to California together with the intention of exhibiting their paintings and establishing the School for Illustration and Painting in Los Angeles. Cahill and Rich successfully opened the school and taught there, but it closed after three years. While in Southern California, Cahill also taught at studios in Pasadena, Hollywood, and Laguna Beach. Author and art historian Nancy Moure wrote about the Laguna Beach artist enclave of the early to mid-1900s. “In the summer of 1918 there were between thirty and forty artists in Laguna Beach. The permanent population of about fifteen was swelled by regular summer artists as well as by those attending William Cahill’s summer class. The town, with a total citizenry of about 300, consisted of a hotel, a post office and a store, with board-and-batten cottages strung out to the north and south for a mile or two. Roads were dirt, Arch Beach had neither electricity nor natural gas, and there was only one telephone.” Cahill briefly taught drawing and painting at the University of Kansas in 1918, but by the following summer he was back in his studio in Laguna Beach. He and wife, Katharine, moved to San Francisco in 1920. That same year, Los Angeles Times art critic Antony Anderson described Cahill as “among the strongest and most progressive of our Los Angeles painters, with every indication that he will ultimately—and probably at no very distant day—rise to the very top.

  • The Art of Theodore F. Rose: Nineteenth Century Lithographer and Painter
    International Journal of Art and Art History December 2016, Vol. 4, No. 2, pp. 11-26 ISSN: 2374-2321 (Print), 2374-233X (Online) Copyright © The Author(s).All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijaah.v4n2p2 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijaah.v4n2p2 The Art of Theodore F. Rose: Nineteenth Century Lithographer and Painter Dr. Joseph H. Hall, IV 1 Abstract Theodore F. Rose is a late-nineteenth century lithographer and painter, who is little- known, as an artist, among both the general public and among professional art historians in even the Philadelphia-New Jersey area. He was a competent commercial lithographer being most well-known for his black and white illustrations of the beautiful homes and street scenes of the resort towns of the New Jersey Coast in the 1870’s. However, Rose was also an accomplished painter in oils, using a very dark palette, in almost exclusively outdoor settings, with the exception being at least one charming trompe l’oeil still life. I have been unable to link him to any of the early art training centers in Philadelphia in the nineteenth century. It is much more likely that he became apprenticed, or indentured, to a lithographer, working for one of the many printers or publishers in the city, where drawing and painting skills would have been developed as well. Rose had a very rough early life, losing family to disease, and serving in the United States Civil War. It is hypothesized that his melancholy background contributed to the somber, or threatening, atmosphere of his paintings.

  • Comments of the Association of Medical Illustrators
    Comments of the Association of Medical Illustrators Library of Congress U.S. Copyright Office [Docket No. 2015-01] Copyright Protection for Certain Visual Works The Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI) is the sole professional organization for the profession. All medical illustrators rely on the protections of copyright to protect the authenticity and integrity of their work. All rely on the divisibility of exclusive rights to earn their living. All have experienced substantial economic loss despite their utmost proactive actions to protect their rights. AMI is grateful that the Copyright Office is undertaking a much needed inquiry into the impact of current copyright law on visual artists. RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS SET FORTH IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE The Most Significant Challenges Related to Monetizing and/or Licensing Graphic Artwork and Illustrations The challenges facing AMI members are the same as those for all graphic artists, particularly professional illustrators. However, the market for medical publications is smaller than for mass market publications with the result that purchase prices and subscriptions are especially high in comparison with the publishing industry in general. Further, the business environment for medical illustration has experienced two especially significant changes in recent years that create a much more hostile environment for licensing and monetization than in the past. These are: (1) the consolidation of the Scientific, Technical and Medical (STM) publishing industry with the result that a handful of giant multinational publishing companies control the conditions of licensing for medical illustration, and (2) the disproportionately extensive and rapid migration from print distribution to electronic distribution, often through site licenses offered by publishers and content aggregators to physicians, hospitals, clinics, universities and medical research institutions.

As the stock market fell to unprecedented lows, citizens struggled to live and to provide for their families. Amid this atmosphere of panic, hopelessness, and uncertainty, artists responded by capturing the harsh realities of life in New York City as well as the leisure and entertainment activities that provided some means of escape. This artistic movement came to be known as Social Realism. While there were regional styles of Social Realism, the works almost always question the social structures that created and maintained the marginalization Museum of Art of the lower classes and simultaneously reference the vitality and resiliency of the people. Social Realism emerged from the complementary work of the proceeding Ashcan School. Those artists sought to realistically capture the gritty conditions of New York City’s crowded tenements, alleys, subways, and slums and such social outsiders as street urchins, alcoholics, and prostitutes. Many Ashcan School artists were former newspaper illustrators who transformed their art into a form of visual journalism that established an American identity during the era’s Wadsworth Atheneum Atheneum Wadsworth www.thewadsworth.org/teachers (860) 838-4170 economic crisis.

Annie Fanny, the title character, is a statuesque, buxom young blonde woman who innocently finds herself nude in every episode. The series is notable for its painted, luminous color artwork and for being the first full-scale, multi- page comics feature in a major American publication. Harvey Kurtzman, a cartoonistcreated the series at the culmination of his career. He had launched Mad magazine, worked briefly for Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner and on a series of solo and collaborative projects, then returned to working for Hefner with Little Annie Fanny. Each episode of the comic strip was designed and written by Kurtzman and rendered in oiltemperaand watercolor by Elder. Hefner edited each episode, often requiring detailed changes to ensure that the series remained true to the magazine's editorial style. Critical reaction was mixed, with most praising the elaborate, fully painted comic, but some dismissing it as falling short of Kurtzman's full potential. The complete series was first collected into two volumes in and by Dark Horse Comics. Harvey Kurtzman founded the satirical Mad magazine in ; [1] an early fan was onetime cartoonist Hugh Hefner[2] who founded the men's magazine Playboy in However, he received a note from Hefner: "I bow to no one in my appreciation for H.
