Riess in 1992 and 1993 Copyright 1993 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well -placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the Vest, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Katherine Field Caldwell dated November 6, 1992.

At the age of eighty-five she is still deeply involved in the world of Asian art, women's issues and contemporary political events. She is a woman with liberal leanings and strong convictions, who in the midst of many a discussion about racial inequities, the deficit, the U.S involvement in Vietnam, abortion, and gender issues, has firmly proclaimed that she is a card-carrying member of the ACLU, sending out clear signals that her views are a reflection of her strong will and character. It was during the Cambodian crisis and the turmoil of the Vietnam Var that I first met Katherine in a seminar on Borobudur at the University of California, Berkeley. At the time I was a graduate student from England feeling overwhelmed by the Berkeley scene and the political events that were unfolding in Asia, particularly as Southeast Asia was to be the focus of my research.

Schaefer,Andrea Gray Stillman | 176 pages | 03 May 2011 | Little, Brown & Company | 9780316056410 | English | New York, United States Ansel Adams in Color by Ansel Adams Ansel Adams never made up his mind about color photography. Long before his death in at age 82, he foresaw that this "beguiling medium" might one day replace his cherished black and white. In notes tentatively dated tohe observed that "color photography is rapidly becoming of major importance. Yet he once likened working in Ansel Adams in Color to playing an out-of-tune piano. America's regnant Western landscape photographer tried to control every step of picture-making, but for much of his lifetime too many stages of the color process were out of his hands. Kodachrome—the first mass-market color film, introduced in —was so complicated that even Adams, a darkroom wizard, had to rely on labs to develop it. Color printing was a crapshoot in the s and '50s. Reproductions in magazines and books could be garish or out of register. Before the s, black-and-white film often actually yielded subtler, less exaggerated pictures of reality. Still, Adams' misgivings did not prevent him from taking hundreds of color transparencies. As he traveled the country on commercial assignments or on Guggenheim Fellowships—a project to celebrate the national parks—he often took pictures in color as well as black and white. A generous selection of Ansel Adams in Color Kodachromes, most created between andappears in a new book, Ansel Adams in Colorrevised and expanded from the edition, with laser scans that might have met even his finicky standards.

As a result of the partitions of Poland in the eighteenth century more than a million Jews had found themselves within the Russian empire but permitted to live only within the Pale, the boundaries of which were determined in 1812.

  • The Forming of the Metal Arts Guild, San Francisco (1929-1964)
    Metal Rising: The Forming of the Metal Arts Guild, San Francisco (1929-1964) Jennifer Shaifer Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master’s of Arts in the History of Decorative Arts. The Smithsonian Associates and Corcoran College of Art + Design 2011 © 2011 Jennifer Shaifer All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is a project I hold dear to my heart. A milestone in my life in which I will never forget. My research started as a journey across the United States to tell a story about the formation of the Metal Arts Guild, but has ended with a discovery about the strength of the human spirit. I was not fortunate to meet many of the founding members of the Metal Arts Guild, but my research into the lives and careers of Margaret De Patta, Irena Brynner, and Peter Macchiarini has provided me with invaluable inspiration. Despite the adversity these artists faced, their strength still reverberates through the trails of history they left behind for an emerging scholar like me. Throughout this project, I have received so much support. I would like to thank Heidi Nasstrom Evans, my thesis advisor, for her encouragement and patience during the thesis writing process. It was during her Spring 2007 class on modernism, that I was introduced to a whole new world of art history. I also want to thank Cynthia Williams and Peggy Newman for their constant source of support. A huge thank you to Alison Antleman and Rebecca Deans for giving me access to MAG’s archives and allowing me to tell their organization’s story.

An Ansel Adams photograph evokes more than an aesthetic response to his work—it also stirs reflections about his involvement in the natural world that was so often his subject.
