Jame Hayes: A Study in What it Takes to Be an Artist ne of the best known and least useful of the stereotypes pertaining to the Oarts is summed up by the phrase “artistic temperament.” It is the image of the artist as a wild-eyed bearded fellow his ear freshly bandaged from a bit of self- mutilation or wild-eyed, with an exceedingly long, well waxed mustache, painting limp timepieces that litter a surreal landscape. Note the common element: those wild eyes that somehow make living in the world that the rest of us occupy difficult and that make getting along with others darn near impossible.

Jame was at the reception held for him when the show opened at the beginning of August, not standing aloof or ill at ease, but moving comfortably from one group to another, greeting friends and making friends as he did. And then Jame took a moment to have his picture taken with three of his art teachers: Lydia O’Neal, who was his art teacher in elementary school; Don Hetzel, Keokuk who taught him art in high school; and Susie Messer, who was his first college art Cultural & teacher. It is this picture of these four artists and art teachers that best answers the Entertainment District old stereotype about “artistic temperament,” and it is their own words that best 329 Main Street Keokuk, IA 52632 give us an insight into Jame Hayes. 319-524-5056 Continued on Page 2 www.keokukdowntown.com Continued from Page 1 What Jame Hayes has to say about himself: I was born in Keokuk December 1, 1973. I am a 1992 graduate of Keokuk Keokuk CED Board of Directors Senior High and a 1994 graduate of Southeastern Community College, where I received my Associate of Arts degree. I next attended the University of Tom Seabold, Ex-Officio Iowa, graduating in 1997 with a B.F.A. in painting and a minor in drawing and Joyce Glasscock, Ex-Officio printmaking. Ed Kiedaisch, President Carole Betts, Vice President I substitute taught in the Keokuk and Hamilton school districts until the fall of Deanne Enderle, Secretary 1998 when I obtained my first position as an art and talented and gifted teacher Dev Kiedaisch, Treasurer at the Bennett Community School District. Bennett is a K-12 rural district near Noel Brown Tipton, Iowa. I built up the art program so much in the first year that I was forced Tom Gardner to drop TAG in order to accommodate all the students taking art. Rose Marie Karre I began taking graduate courses during my third year of teaching. I left Bennett Pam Kelly in 2001 and received a teaching assistantship at the University of Iowa in the art Alka Khanolkar education department. I was in charge of student teacher observations at their Rita Noe schools of placement. After receiving my M.A. in art education from the University Mike O’Connor Chuck Pietscher of Iowa in the spring of 2002, I began looking for a new teaching position and Sandy Seabold accepted a position in Muscatine. There I taught at Grant and Franklin Elementary Britny Soper schools from 2002 until 2010. I was then transferred to West Middle School for Dianne Stanley the 2010 school year and still teach at West today.

Many pieces have been donated to the Art Center over the years and others have been purchased with memorial contributions. Much of the collection is currently on display at the Keokuk Public Library/Keokuk Art Center building which is located at 210 North 5th Street. We will be featuring one piece from the collection in each issue of The Confluence. Art in the District “Games Children Play” a felt banner by Norman LaLiberte was purchased for $750 from a touring exhibit shown at the Keokuk Art Center in November of 1972. It hangs in the lower level of the library/art center. Firmly rooted in the natural world, the expressive paintings, prints and banners of Norman LaLiberte are uniquely personal songs of celebration. Influenced by the poetic paintings of Paul Klee and the inspired religiosity of Georges Rouault, LaLiberte has created an evocative artistic language of his own. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts, of French Canadian parents, LaLiberte grew up in Montreal. His art studies took him from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to the Illinois Institute of Technology, the Institute of Design in Chicago, and eventually to the prestigious Cranbrook Academy of Arts where he won a painting fellowship. A prodigious painter and sculptor, LaLiberte is also highly regarded as a printmaker of exceptional talent. He studied etching with Richard Lacroix in Montreal, and later mastered stone lithography at the famous Atelier Mourlot in Paris. It is said that LaLiberte’s mastery of the craft of lithography was so superior that he was given Picasso’s own printing press to work on. LaLiberte first received international recognition for his extraordinary exhibition of eighty- eight large, cloth-applique banners designed for the Vatican Pavilion at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Many prestigious commissions followed. LaLiberte has been the recipient of numerous awards and has been the subject of a documentary by the National Film Board of Canada. Paintings, prints and sculptures by Norman LaLiberte appear in the permanent collections of more than 75 museum and corporate collections including the Montreal Museum of Fine Art, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Collection, the Smithsonian Institute, the Albright-Know Art Gallery, Citicorp, NY, and the Keokuk Art Center. 3 It's a Graveyard Smash! outheastern Community College South Campus’ 2nd Annual Zombie Walk will Slurch along Main Street in downtown Keokuk Friday, October 19.

  • (July-November 1863) Lincoln's Popularit
    Chapter Thirty-one “The Signs Look Better”: Victory at the Polls and in the Field (July-November 1863) Lincoln’s popularity soared after the victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Port Hudson. His old friend from Illinois, Jesse W. Fell, reflected the changed public mood. In August, Fell told Lyman Trumbull that during the early stages of the war, “I did not like some things that were done, and many things that were not done, by the present Administration.” Along with most “earnest, loyal men, I too was a grumbler, because, as we thought, the Gov't. moved too slow.” But looking back, Fell acknowledged that “we are not now disposed to be sensorious [sic] to the ‘powers that be,’ even among ourselves.” To the contrary, “it is now pretty generally conceded, that, all things considered, Mr. Lincoln's Administration has done well.” Such “is the general sentiment out of Copperhead Circles.” Lincoln had been tried, and it was clear “that he is both honest and patriotic; that if he don't go forward as fast as some of us like, he never goes backwards.”1 To a friend in Europe, George D. Morgan explained that the president “is very popular and good men of all sides seem to regard him as the man for the place, for they see what one cannot see abroad, how difficult the position he has to fill, to keep 1 Fell to Lyman Trumbull, Cincinnati, 11 August 1863, Trumbull Papers, Library of Congress. 3378 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 31 the border States quiet, to keep peace with the different generals, and give any satisfaction to the radicals.”2 One of those Radicals, Franklin B.

COLTON This second installment of the letters of Samuel Ryan Curtis, Congressman, engineer, and soldier, continues the publication of his correspondence through the first year of the Civil War, begun in the July issue of The Annals of Iowa as "The Irrepressible Conflict of 1861." As this second series begins. Colonel S. R. Curtis is on his way east to Washington, to attend the special session of the Thirty-Seventh Congress, and hopeful of winning a general's star in the volunteer army of the United States. Meanwhile his troops, the 2nd Iowa Volun- teer Infantry, continues to guard the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad line, to which duty they had been ordered in June, one month before. The reader will be interested in Curtis' comment upon the problems of supply confronting the Federal forces in 1861, problems much in the public mind in 1942, facing another war. Of special interest in this series of the war correspondence are the accounts of the developing crisis in the military command of the Department of the West, under that eccentric, colorful and at times pathetic figure.

Their reaction to these issues influenced and changed the nature of debates to destroy the regular army and close the military academy at West Point. Many in Congress and the United States held a deep-seated fear of the regular army that dated back to the colonial era. They feared that a standing army would become a tool of tyranny and destroy a republican government. Instead, many Americans preferred a volunteer system.

  • (April-July 1861) “I Have Desired As Sincerely As Any
    Chapter Twenty-three “I Intend to Give Blows”: The Hundred Days (April-July 1861) “I have desired as sincerely as any man – I sometimes think more than any other man – that our present difficulties might be settled without the shedding of blood,” Lincoln remarked to a group of ersatz soldiers in late April. The “last hope of peace may not have passed away. But if I have to choose between the maintenance of the union of these states, and of the liberties of this nation, on the one hand, and the shedding of fraternal blood on the other, you need not be at a loss which course I shall take.”1 Little did he and most of his contemporaries realize how much fraternal blood would flow in order to save that Union and preserve those liberties; 620,000 soldiers and sailors (360,000 Union, 260,000 Confederate), including some of Lincoln’s closest friends, would die over the next four years. The total equaled the number of deaths in all other American wars combined, from the Revolution through the Korean War. One of those who failed to realize how bloody the war would become was Edwin M. Stanton, who on April 8 told John A. Dix: “I do not think peaceful relations will 1 This is a conflation of two versions of these remarks, one from the Perryville correspondence, 28 April, New York World, 29 April 1861, and the other from the New York Tribune, 1 May 1861, reproduced in Roy P.

  • THE ANNALS of IOWA 69 (Fall 2010)
    The Annals of Volume 69, Number 4 Iowa Fall 2010 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY In This Issue DOROTHY SCHWIEDER, University Professor Emerati of History at Iowa State University, recounts the life of Jack Trice up until he died in 1923 as a result of an injury he suffered during his second game as the only African American member of the Iowa State College football team. Then she relates the long struggle to rename Iowa State’s football stadium in his honor. In both cases she sets the story in the context of changing racial and social attitudes. JENNY BARKER DEVINE, assistant professor of history at Illinois College in Jacksonville, Illinois, interprets the programming of Farm Bureau women’s clubs from 1945 to 1970. After nearly three decades of strong state-centered programming, club activities in the postwar period, she concludes, were characterized by a greater focus on local leadership. State leaders continued to advise local clubwomen to engage in activities related to politics, agricultural policy, and the like, but members of town- ship clubs became increasingly selective in responding to state leaders’ advice, focusing more narrowly on their neighborhoods, social events, and new trends in homemaking. Devine interprets this response not as an indicator of resistance or rejection of state leaders but rather as the manifestation of “social feminisms” in the countryside. Front Cover Jack Trice (second from left) poses in uniform with three white teammates from the 1923 Iowa State College football team. For the story of Trice’s life and his legacy at Iowa State, see Dorothy Schwieder’s article in this issue.
