  • Oral History Interview with Sylvan Cole, 2000 June-October
    Oral history interview with Sylvan Cole, 2000 June-October Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Sylvan Cole from June through October, 2000. The interview took place at the Sylvan Cole Gallery, New York and was conducted by Avis Berman for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The reader should bear in mind that he or she is reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written prose. Interview AVIS BERMAN: This is Avis Berman on June 28th, 2000, interviewing Sylvan Cole in his gallery at 101 West 57th Street. And at the risk of being a little bit redundant, would you begin by stating your full name and your date of birth? SYLVAN COLE: Sylvan Cole, Junior – that’s the way I was born, no middle initial. And I was born January 10th, 1918. MS. BERMAN: Now I will start, and ask you how did you get the name Sylvan? MR. COLE: I am a junior. And Dad got the name – It’s interesting; Dad was Sylvan Cohn, C-O-H-N. And right after I was born – I actually was born Cohn – I guess I was a year old, and the name was changed to Cole for business purposes and all the rest. And the funny thing is, all Sylvans – or most Sylvans – are Jewish.

    Guide to the Records of the Boston Printmakers (1947-2011) Processed by Dixon L. Hill The Boston Printmakers at The Art Institute of Boston 700 Beacon Street Boston, MA 02115 © 2011 The Boston Printmakers, Boston, MA Finding aid created by Dixon L. Hill as MS Word document, May 2011. Description is in English. Descriptive Summary Creator: Dixon L. Hill Title: The Boston Printmaker’s Collection Dates: 1947-2011 Abstract: The Boston Printmakers founded over sixty years ago in Boston, Massachusetts, was created by printmakers and artists within the community as an organization dedicated to the art of printmaking. The first few years of the Boston Printmakers serve as the foundation and set the stage for decades to follow. In post World War II Boston, people were ecstatic that the war was over and the veterans had returned home. After the war, the student population in an around the Boston area was thriving with veterans who wished to return to school. These students had a certain enthusiasm that emerged from the U.S. victory. It was this enthusiasm and dedication that carried over to the art of printmaking and helped form the Boston Printmakers. What made this era so meaningful were the new interest, involvement and appreciation for the graphic arts. Established right from the beginning, The Boston Printmakers would include all styles of prints including modern abstractions. The first committee of officers and volunteers welcomed all prints and never excluded artists based on career experience. This appreciation for all kinds of printmaking and printmakers contributed to the success of the organization.
