"She (Streed) gave me a whole different point of view. Now I can interpret the works rather than just viewing them aesthetically. I really enjoy the Gallery." Meeting major artists and talking with them is Penny Fraise'.s most valuable Gallery experience. "I was excited when Walter Dusenbery (sculptor) discussed his work with my class. It was interesting to find out the reasons behind how and why the work was done. "It's also good to hear the perspectives of others in my class."

he University's first work of art was purchased by the library Tthrough the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the 1930's. In 1956, a Phillip Guston painting was purchased with funds personally donated by J.W Maucker, University president, 1950-1970. Shortly after, the Department of Art began buying artwork, "not a great quantity, but exceptionally good quality," according to Dan Stetson, Gallery director. The University owns pieces by such famous artists as Picasso, Renoir, Cezanne, and Matisse. However, the masters make up a relatively small portion of the collection with the thrust being modern and contemporary works. Stetson gives three reasons for this Dan Stetson, gallery director (fifth from right), visits with guests at an opening night reception. focus. "We teach young artists so we want to feature other young artists as

16 role models for the students. The price of pieces by living artists is more affordable and most of the gifts received have been contemporary works." According to state law one half of one percent of the money spent on new facilities is delegated to the purchase of anwork for the University's permanent collection. Still, 95 percent of the collection has been donated by alumni and friends of the University Most of the permanent colleaion is displayed in other buildings on campus, such as the library and the union, and pieces are often brought together for display in the Gallery "We have created a substantial present and future for art," Stet'>on maintains. "The Gallery's regional and national reputation is continuing to grow because of the quality of exhibits brought here and some of the pieces in the permanent collection." Most recently the University was nationally noted for the commission of a 14 foot gran.ite sculpture by Walter Dusenbery, titled Porta Largo that stands south of the building. Stetson, who was direaor of the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York before coming to Northern Iowa in 1981, believes its important to projea the Gallery as "a place for reflection and activity "Art appreciation or awareness, not just the making of art, is a focus of the department. Thats why we encourage groups to hold activities here. It promotes the University as a cultural center of the community" N

Porta I.argo, a sculpture by well-known artist Walter Dusenbery, was commis­ sioned by tbe Department of Art to commemorate its new building
