Anchored off her family’s Captiva Island’s beachfront home were scientist Russell J. Coles and Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt. She set off in a skiff, determined to photograph the former Presi- dent of the United States. Her skiff overturned, but she swam while holding the camera over her head. As the crew helped her aboard, she asked, “Where’s Teddy?” and was told he was unavailable. Overhearing her, Roosevelt said, “Anyone who calls me Teddy can see me.” For her audac- ity, she was rewarded with dinner with the great men and a .22 rifle. Most important, however, is the photograph she took, in which Roosevelt (left) looks more like a scruffy fisherman than a former exalted President. To top off the serendipitous meeting, the men later sent her a unique pair of fish-skin slippers. In early adulthood, Mickle worked briefly for Lee Memorial Hospital. She is pictured during that period of her life, a somewhat impish woman who evidently found the drudgery of hospital work just too dreary. Her job description included wash- ing the windows! A gift for writing and reporting led her to pur- sue a newspaper career. Mickle snapped this photo of former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and scientist Russell She wrote for the Tropi- J.

  • [email protected] Theo Wujcik: Cantos
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lashonda Curry 727-896-266, ext. 236 813-447-1752 (c) [email protected] Theo Wujcik: Cantos Brings to Life Epic Literary Work A series by the late, prominent Ybor City artist features larger-than-life paintings inspired by Dante’s Inferno ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (March 29, 2019) – One of Tampa Bay’s best-known artists, Theo Wujcik (1936-2014), spent a decade creating a series drawn from the dark and profound literary classic, Dante’s Inferno. Now, those extraordinary paintings are the theme for Theo Wujcik: Cantos, a special exhibition organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg and inspired by two works in its collection. Gates of Hell (1987) and Canto II (1997) are centered around Inferno, the first part of the epic poem Divine Comedy by Italian poet Dante Alighieri (1265–1321). The painting Gates of Hell was acquired by the MFA in 2017, but has never been publicly shown at a museum in the Tampa Bay area until now. Other art institutions that own Wujcik’s work include the Art Institute of Chicago; Detroit Institute of Arts; Museum of Modern Art, NY; National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition is on view April 13 through June 2, 2019. Addressing select cantos from the poem, the 10 paintings on view—many of them epically scaled— range from 1987–1997, and showcase Wujcik’s literal and symbolic interpretation of the captivating journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. Many artists have been inspired by the moral drama of Dante’s Inferno, including English poet and painter William Blake (1757–1827) and French illustrator Gustave Doré (1832–1883).

To unravel the geologic history of Florida and Tampa Bay, Hine dug back over 700 million years. His surprising results have been documented in his book, The Geological History of Florida – the Major Events that Formed the Sunshine State, and an award-winning multi-media project, Tampa Bay Water Story, produced by Katy Hennig, MA ’16. “In one of our projects, we discovered buried freshwater lake sediments in Tampa Bay,” Hine says. “From about 20,000 years ago to about 10,000 years ago, Tampa Bay was partly a freshwater lake. The best record of early humans in Florida, what they ate and how they lived, is right there slightly beneath the seafloor of the bay.” Hine, who specializes in geological oceanography, collects and uses fossils to help tell the story of Florida’s land and water. “Our appreciation for beauty helps remind us of the importance of protecting our natural environment,” he says. PHOTOS: Albert Hine holds a fossilized tooth from a Megalodon, or giant shark, found in the center of the Florida peninsula. A fossilized Ammonite shell, an ancient geologic relative to the contemporary nautilus mollusc, reveals the beauty and patterns of the mathematical Fibonacci Sequence.

MoMA © 2017 The Museum of Modern Art Tamarind:Homage to Lithography Tamarind: Homage to Lithography Preface by William S. Lieberman Introduction by Virginia Allen 4- The Tamarind Lithography Workshop has almost single- handedly revived the difficult medium of lithography in the past decade. It has provided not only the materials but also the environment that fosters the delicate collaboration be tween artist and printer. Such an environment and indeed even the materials were almost nonexistent in the United States before June Wayne and the Ford Foundation agreed on the importance of providing them. Since Tama rind opened its doors in 1960 it has provided fellowships for numerous artists and printers, most of whom have con tinued their exploration of lithography after leaving Tama rind. The author describes this unique Workshop and also gives a brief history of lithography in Europe and in the United States. Included is a list which catalogs part of the promised gift to The Museum of Modern Art of the Kleiner, Bell and Company Collection of Tamarind Impressions.
