American University Museum Project Space Volkmar Wentzel By Leah Bendavid-Val, Curator Volkmar Kurt Wentzel (1915–2006) was born in Dresden, Germany, in 1915. Unquenchable curiosity, an appetite for adventure, and a gift for friendship showed up early. These traits endeared him to family and friends, colleagues and strangers throughout his life. In 1928, the Wentzel family immigrated to Binghamton, New York, where Volkmar’s father, Fritz, a photo chemist working for the German company Agfa, had accepted a job with the newly merged German-American com- pany Agfa-Ansco. Fritz shared his knowledge of photographic processes and darkroom work with his nine-year-old son. Father and son made a pinhole camera around that time. Volkmar’s mother, Verna, died in 1932. He left home soon afterward, going 3 on a road trip with a friend without finishing high school. Finally arriving in Washington, DC, the boys parted ways. Volkmar decided to stay in the city.

MISSIONARY NURSE DOROTHY DAVIS COOK, 1940-1972: “MOTHER OF SWAZI NURSES” Dramatically absent from nursing’s historical knowledge and professional recognition are the lives, roles, contributions, and legacies of Christian faith-based nurses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the ministry and service of Sister Tutor Dorothy Davis Cook, Church of the Nazarene missionary nurse in the African country of Swaziland 1940 to 1972. The multi-dimensional, multi-task expanded roles manifested in her integration of Christian missionary and nurse were explored and her legacy identified.

  • Seeing in the Dark — Volkmar Wentzel's Photography
    Seeing in the Dark — Volkmar Wentzel’s Photography by Katie Davis Katie Davis: When Volkmar Wentzel’s father got frustrated with his sons, he put them in his darkroom. All chemicals and inky black. The darkroom was terrifying, says Volkmar, until he found the red light switch. Then, he says, it was love. The red bulb was a safelight, a way to understand what was emerging. See the images float up out of the water. See himself travelling around the world with a camera. Moving, moving, always documenting. [MUSIC: LONG WALK RETURNS DAVID SHULMAN] Katie Davis: Volkmar Wentzel’s photographs are shadowy, evocative. Jessica Beels [DESCRIBES PHOTO]: This picture is a really deep dark night image of two people talking on the steps of one of the capitol buildings in Washington, D.C. The lights are glowing, and the two people are in conversation standing on the steps. It looks like it’s just been raining, and the light from the lamps and from the reflections illuminates the center of the image in a very compelling way both in terms of composition and in terms of the narrative around the people standing on the steps. Katie Davis: In l926, Volkmar’s father packed up his family and left Dresden, Germany, for the United States. He found work at a photographic company in Binghamton, New York. Volkmar was 11 years old, and spoke no English ... Years later, he remembered in an oral history interview though that boys have their own language. Volkmar Wentzel [IN AN ORAL HISTORY AT SMITHSONIAN ARCHIVES OF AMERICAN ART]: My father had subscribed to a boys’ magazine from Germany.
