In this time of downsizing in the humanities, we are most heartened that one search resulted in our hiring two fabulous young professors. New hires demonstrate the University’s confidence in the Department. However, the reality is that we rely increasingly on external funding to support student research and professional development, as well as for graduate student stipends. We have received funding unprecedented for the Department in the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s generous support for our innovative and thriving Curatorial Track PhD. Now, as part of our 50th anniversary celebration, we plan to announce a fund-raising campaign to build our endowment, particularly in support of graduate programs. Details about that fund will be forthcoming. We look forward to your joining with us as we continue to capitalize on our strengths and achievements and ensure a distinguished future for the Department. H.

Convocation Address by Mollie Armstrong, Class of 2013 Good afternoon recent graduates, faculty, parents, and family members. Today is about celebrating the end of a journey—a journey, which despite spanning only four years, has taken us across several hundred centuries of history, culture, and of course art. When I sat down to reflect on this journey and my time at UD, a painting by Paul Gauguin immediately popped into my head. The painting, entitled Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? is a monumental reflection on the philosophical meaning of life and Mollie Armstrong. Photo by George Freeman. death.

Christine Giles and Hatherine Plake Hough ccentricity, individualism and nonconformity have been central to San Fran­ cisco Bay Area and Northern California's spirit since the Gold Rush era. Town Enames like Rough and Ready, Whiskey Flats and "Pair of Dice" (later changed to Paradise) testify to the raw humor and outsider self-image rooted in Northern California culture. This exhibition focuses on three artists' exploration of a different western frontier-that of individual creativity and collaboration. It brings together paintings, sculptures, assemblages and works on paper created individually and collabora­ tively by three close friends: William Allan, Robert Hudson and William T. Wiley. ·n, Bob and Bill William Allan, the eldest, was born in Everett, Washington, in 1936, followed by Wiley, born in Bedford, Indiana, in 1937 and Hudson, born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1938. Their families eventually settled in Richland, in southeast Washington, where the three met and began a life-long social and professional relationship. Richland was the site of one of the nation's first plutonium production plants-Hanford Atomic Works. 1 Hudson remembers Richland as a plutonium boom town: the city's population seemed to swell overnight from a few thousand to over 30,000. Most of the transient population lived in fourteen square blocks filled with trailer courts.

  • California Modernism After World War Ii
    1 CALIFORNIA MODERNISM AFTER WORLD WAR II So in America when the sun goes down and I sit on the old broken-down river pier watching the long, long skies over New Jersey and sense all that raw land that rolls in one unbelievable huge bulge over to the West Coast, and all that road going, and all the people dreaming in the immensity of it, and in Iowa I know by now the children must be crying in the land where they let the children cry, and tonight the stars’ll be out, and don’t you know that God is Pooh Bear? The evening star must be drooping and shedding her sparkler dims on the prairie, which is just before the coming of complete night that blesses the earth, darkens all the rivers, cups the peaks and folds the final shore in, and nobody, nobody knows what’s going to happen to anybody besides the forlorn rags of growing old, I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of Old Dean Moriarty the father we never found, I think of Dean Moriarty. JACK KEROUAC, ON THE ROAD POSTWAR EXCHANGES Most historical accounts of cultural and artistic developments in the United States after World War II have offered little information about trends affecting artists across the country. In the rush to figure out who did what first and to locate it geographically—usu - ally in New York— the historians have ignored the fluid interchanges between the two coasts, and cultural opportunities offered on either of them in these postwar years.

  • THE MUSEUM of MODERN ART Jl^^L-MS^&D STREET, NEW YORK 19, N
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART jl^^l-MS^&D STREET, NEW YORK 19, N. Y. TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EXHIBITION OF AMERICAN BATTLE PAINTING OPENS AT MUSEUM OF MODERN ART Under the auspices of the Armed Services Program of the Museum of Modern Art an exhibition of American Battle Painting; 1776-1918 will be held at the Museum from September 27 through November 12. Planned in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the exhibition reveals the continuing American tradition, from the Revolutionary War through World War I, of the use of artists to record war. For the many contemporary American artists who are now inter­ preting their nation's bitterest struggle, it is hoped that American Battle Painting; 1776-1918 will provide encouragement, as the exhibi­ tion demonstrates the overwhelming documentary value of our visual records of past wars and emphasizes the need of preserving the chronicles made by artists of the present war. The exhibition was assembled by Pvt. Lincoln Kirstein, now in service in France, and by Mrs. Margaret D. Garrett of the staff of the National Gallery in Washington. The exhibition includes paintings by Trumbull, Peale, Eastman Johnson, Winslow Homer, David Blythe, Conrad Wise Chapman, Alfred Sully, Remington, Sargent, Henry N. Walke, Adalbert Johann Volck, Slackens, Peixotto, Wallace Morgan, Harvey T. Dunn, Kerr Eby and others. George Harding, who is now a combat artist with the Marines, is represented by a drawing made when he was an official artist in World War 1. A study for the picture which generations of American school children have known—George Washington Crossing the Delaware—will also be shown.
