SWEET BRIAR COLLEGE MAGAZINE POLICY Sweet Briar Renaissance 4 the Magazine Aims to Present Interesting, Tapping Silicon Valley Expertise 10 Thought-Provoking Material VOLUME 86 NO. 2 Dear Alumnae and Friends, ollowing the closure announcement last March, a series of miracles followed. All of them were predicated on very hard work, sacrificial efforts and generous gifts. Practi- cally unprecedented in American higher education, the alumnae saved their college. A miracle. Faced with the daunting circumstances of no faculty, staff and students and Fwith many programs closed or transferred, the College needed another miracle to open in just 6 weeks. It happened. Needing still another miracle, the College asked its alumnae to contribute an additional $10 million for operations. The alumnae responded with the funds. As a result, the Col- lege spent no endowment for the first time in memory. We have celebrated digging out of the deep hole we did not create. We made far more progress last year than anyone could have expected. Having entered our second academic year, we are thrilled that 156 new students enabled us to meet our projections for total enrollment this year. We expect to grow by an even larger number in each of the coming years. Some of our star faculty, having left after the closing announcement, returned. All programs remain open; the calendar is full of athletic contests, concerts, plays, special events and traditional activities. Sweet Briar College is alive and well! Last year, when the seniors came to Sweet Briar House for the traditional champagne toast, I invited them to sign their names on the back of a large banner I keep in the library. It bears the statement I made in my first message to the community after becoming president, “At Sweet Briar College, the impossible is just another problem to solve.” I had written at the top “We Were Here Making History: Class of 2016.” Some were in tears as they inscribed their names. All our alumnae were also making history, and you continue to make history as we make our way out of the financial hole caused by the closing efforts. This year, as last, and during the next few years, the alumnae will need to carry the load of assuring that their college survives while the enrollment is built back to more stable levels. Whether volunteering to weed flower gardens, polish, paint etc., participating on a committee, offering counsel or contributing financially, the alumnae have always been there for Sweet Briar. Since this is the “place for miracles,” I know you will contin- ue to do what is necessary to save your college. We are not only making history; we are preserv- ing a magnificent institution. I am sincere when I respond to proffered compliments of my leadership by saying that the alumnae do all the hard work, I simply have the privilege of riding in the Vixen Cart. Thank you for affording me that honor; thank you especially for your friendship, encouragement and support. We must continue to be One Team, preserving Sweet Briar College forever. Yours truly, Phillip C.

The Tension Between Artistic Autonomy and Social Engagement in Les Temps Nouveaux, 1896–1903 Laura Prins HCM 4 (1): 92–126 DOI: 10.18352/hcm.505 Abstract Between 1896 and 1903, Jean Grave, editor of the anarchist journal Les Temps Nouveaux, published an artistic album of original prints, with the collaboration of (avant-garde) artists and illustrators. While anar- chist theorists, including Grave, summoned artists to create social art, which had to be didactic and accessible to the working classes, artists wished to emphasize their autonomous position instead. Even though Grave requested ‘absolutely artistic’ prints in the case of this album, artists had difficulties with creating something for him, trying to com- bine their social engagement with their artistic autonomy. The artistic album appears to have become a compromise of the debate between the anarchist theorists and artists with anarchist sympathies. Keywords: anarchism, France, Neo-Impressionism, nineteenth century, original print Introduction While the Neo-Impressionist painter Paul Signac (1863–1935) was preparing for a lecture in 1902, he wrote, ‘Justice in sociology, har- mony in art: same thing’.1 Although Signac never officially published the lecture, his words have frequently been cited by scholars since the 1960s, who claim that they illustrate the widespread modern idea that any revolutionary avant-garde artist automatically was revolutionary in 92 HCM 2016, VOL.

  • Binh Danh: Collecting Memories Has Been Supported by the Joan Danforth Art Museum Endowment
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: July 20, 2010 Lori Chinn Mills College Art Museum Program Manager 510.430.3340 or [email protected] Abby Lebbert Mills College Art Museum Publicity Assistant 510.430.2164 or [email protected] Mills College Art Museum Announces Exhibition of New Work by Bay Area Artist Binh Danh Oakland, CA—July 20, 2010. The Mills College Art Museum is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new work by Bay Area artist Binh Danh entitled, Collecting Memories, featuring daguerreotypes, chlorophyll prints, photographs, and historical artifacts, which capture past and present memories of the American-Vietnam War. Collecting Memories is co-curated by Lori Chinn and Stephanie Hanor and will be on view from August 21 through December 12, 2010. An opening reception with the artist will take place on August 25 from 5:30–7:30 pm. Binh Danh collects photographs and other remnants of the American-Vietnam War and reprocesses and represents them in ways that bring new light to a complicated, multivalent history. Danh is known for his unique chlorophyll printing process in which he takes found portraits of war casualties and anonymous soldiers and transfers them onto leaves and grasses through the process of photosynthesis. While Danh left Vietnam with his family at a young age, return trips to the country have profoundly influenced the development of his work. Danh’s recent work uses a combination of found images from the American-Vietnam War and photographs taken by the artist on recent visits to Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. “History is not something in the past.
