Spotlight on Indian Maiden by Proctor Date: January 2018 EI Presenter: Tina Heffernan Year/Medium: 1926 Bronze Artist: Alexander Phimister Proctor (1860-1950) Title of Piece: Indian Maiden and Fawn “I am eternally obsessed with two deep desires-one, to spend as much time as possible in the wilderness, and the other, to accomplish something worthwhile in art.” – A. P. Proctor Five points of interest about this artist: 1. Called himself the “Sculptor in Buckskin”. His most famous works include the horse in General Sherman in Central Park, the Pioneer Mother here at the University of Oregon, and the Seven Mustangs at the University of Texas at Austin. Proctor’s tribute to Theodore Roosevelt, The Rough Rider, was the subject of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s first ever educational film on the work of a sculptor. It resides in Portland. 2. He was a contemporary of Frederic Remington and Charles Russell, but chose to work on a more monumental/life size scale and allow his smaller pieces to be more accessible to everyday people. 3. Proctor was born in Canada and grew up in Colorado where he developed a love for hunting and sketching wild animals. In 1885, he sold a gold claim and with the proceeds went first to New York to attend the National Academy of Design and then on to Paris to continue his studies. His academic training made him as comfortable in international artistic circles as he was hunting grizzlies in the Rocky Mountains. 4. As a hunter he always was careful to measure, draw, and sometimes dissect the animals that he killed. These early studies helped propel him to the position of one of the most sought after and respected animal sculptors of his day. 5. The Indian Maiden sculpture used to be installed outside the museum until it was overturned by vandals in 1980. Her arm was broken off at that time. Possible questions to use when discussing this piece with museum visitors/VTS: 1. Tell me a story about this girl and her animal friend. 2. What is the difference between sculpture and painting? Why do you think an artist would use one or the other? 3. What else do you notice about this piece? Good time to talk about nude vs. naked and nudity in art and museums, how they pour a bronze, the fact that she is life sized… Tour Type: People and Places, Artful Animals, Learning to Look Additional Notes or Sources: proctormuseum.com Centerofthewest.org Alexander Phimister Proctor Indian Maiden and Fawn, 1926 Pioneer Mother, 1918 Seven Mustangs, 1948 Theodore Roosevelt, Rough Rider, 1922 Horse for General Sherman, 1903 .

Efron, Chair Professor Thomas W. Laqueur Professor Robert Alter Spring 2013 1 Abstract Mordechai Langer (1894-1943) and the Birth of the Modern Jewish Homosexual By Shaun Jacob Halper Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor John M. Efron, Chair This dissertation takes up the first truly Jewish homosexual identity, which Mordechai Jiří Langer (1894-1943) created in Prague during the 1920s. It is a study of the historical conditions— especially the exclusion of Jews by the masculinist wing of the German homosexual rights movement in the two decades bracketing World War One—that produced the need for the articulation of such an identity in the first place. It enters the cultural and intellectual world of fin de siècle homosexuals where “Jews” and “Judaism” were used as foils, against which some homosexuals were defining themselves politically and culturally. Langer defended the Jewish homosexual from German masculinist attack in the form of two literary projects: his theoretical study Die Erotik der Kabbala (1923) and his first volume of Hebrew poetry, Piyyutim ve-Shirei Yedidot (1929).

2014 22Nd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog
2014 22nd Annual Poets House Showcase Exhibition Catalog |Poets House|10 River Terrace | New York, NY 10282|poetshouse.org| The 2014 Poets House Showcase is made possible through the generosity of the hundreds of publishers and authors who have graciously donated their beautiful books. We are deeply grateful to Deborah Saltonstall Pease for her ongoing support. Thanks also to the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, the Concordia Foundation, the Leon Levy Foundation, and the many members of Poets House for their support of this project. 2 “The first thing to understand about poetry is that it comes to you from outside you, in books or in words, but that for it to live, something from within you must come to it and meet it and complete it…if you give to it, it will give to you, and give plenty.” —James Dickey, from “How to Enjoy Poetry” WELCOME to the 2014 Poets House Showcase, the annual, all-inclusive exhibition of the most recent poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, artist’s books, and multimedia works published in the United States and abroad. This year marks the 22nd Anniversary of the Poets House Showcase, and our most comprehensive exhibition yet, featuring over 3,000 books from more than 700 different presses and publishers. Since its inception, the Showcase has helped to build one of the most extensive collections of poetry in our nation and a comprehensive record of the poetry of our time. Building the Exhibit—and the Poets House Library Collection Every year, Poets House invites poets and publishers to participate in the annual Showcase by donating copies of poetry titles released since January of the previous year.
