  • Local Exhibit Highlights Work of Self-Taught Southern Artist Felicia Feaster
    July 9, 2020 Local Exhibit Highlights Work of Self-Taught Southern Artist Felicia Feaster Enjoyment of self-taught art may depend on how much you want to swim around in another human being’s headspace. Are you in the mood to contemplate the conditions that foster both creativity, but also the darker byways of obsession and personal experience? With much art, it is possible to separate the maker from her work. You can glide across the pleasures of surface, technique and subject matter. But self-taught art gives you no such opportunity or out; part of the bargain is, in fact, a deep dive into biography. And in the Atlanta Contemporary show “The Life and Death of Charles Williams,” there’s no getting around the strange, fascinating and sometimes troubling reality of this Kentucky artist’s life. There is both joy and pain in Williams’ experience, and in his art. It’s hard not to revel in the unique point of view of this utterly idiosyncratic Black Southern artist while also feeling saddened by his circumstance and limitations. Like so many self-taught artists, Williams defiantly marched to his own arrhythmic beat. He spent a lifetime making art that acted out the kind of dramas of might and right that children cling to: art fueled by comic book tales of brawny, powerful, justice-minded superheroes with cut-glass jawlines, tree trunk thighs and hyper-articulated Tom of Finland musculature. In fact, Williams learned to draw, like so many kids, by rendering favorite heroes like Dick Tracy and Superman. But while kids eventually give up those superficial parables of good and evil, Williams clung to them.

    WORLD OF THE BOOK Books are mirrors of many worlds: worlds here and distant, past and present, real and imagined. Through text and image, they act as keepers of ideas, of knowledge and of stories. This exhibition showcases many of the rare, beautiful and historically significant books held by this Library on behalf of the Victorian community. It celebrates the unique place of books in our hearts and minds, taking you on a journey through the history of book production, design and illustration, from the medieval era to the present day. BOOKS AND IDEAS ‘[T]he book is an extension of the eye...’ Marshall McLuhan The history of ideas is mirrored in the history of the book. Books have altered the course of history itself, through the dissemination of ideas that have changed how we think about the world and ourselves. In many cultures across different eras, books have played a highly symbolic and iconic role. There was a time when it was thought that the world’s knowledge could be collected between the covers of a book. The information explosion of recent times now makes it impossible to contain the world’s knowledge within one library, let alone in one book, yet books continue to be a powerful means of informing and inspiring new generations. The Dome Galleries You are standing in what was once the book stacks for the whole library. This photograph shows the storage of ‘elephant folios’ (very large books) in this very spot. Librarians used the spiral metal stairs to retrieve the books requested by readers sitting at desks below in the Dome Reading Room.

Of the more than 13,000 who saw the production, we welcomed 4,500 guests for their first time to the Playhouse! Now we are thrilled to present a famous day in rock and roll history, as told in Million Dollar Quartet. Hunter Foster played legendary music producer Sam Phillips in the original Broadway production, and has directed the show many times around the country. He’s assembled a terrific cast from those productions, including returning Playhouse artists James Ludwig (Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big Playhouse Christmas Show), Zach Cossman (Buddy) and Ryah Nixon (The Rocky Horror Show). We’re gearing up for our big fundraiser for the year, the fourth Galavant in the Garden, to be held at Barbara and Jay Belding’s beautiful home on Saturday, September 22. Speaking of rock and roll history, our headliner this year is none other than the original girl group star herself, Darlene Love. We first saw Darlene on Broadway in 1985’s Leader of the Pack, and her rendition of “River Deep, Mountain High” became an instant classic.

  • Comic Strips and Black Newspapers in Postwar Toledo
    Swing Papa and Barry Jordan: Comic Strips and Black Newspapers in Postwar Toledo Angela M. Nelson Introduction Popular culture reflects, symbolizes, and embodies the thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and values of its producers and audiences.1 Popular culture is that part of all culture that is concerned with pleasure, enjoy- ment, and amusement. Comic art is a form of popular culture dating back to the early 1890s. After the turn of the century, comic strips2 had become a permanent part of white mainstream newspapers and magazines, but black newspapers overall were not as agreeable to their inclusion.3 In short, black newspapers focused their attention on the “serious” issues confronting blacks of that period. However, with the advent of large circula- tion newspapers especially published for black communities coupled with the established tradition of comic strips in major newspapers, many editors of black newspapers began encouraging the inclusion of comic strips.4 The Baltimore Afro-American, Chicago Defender, and Pittsburgh Courier were the leading large circulating black newspapers that included black comic strips following World War I.5 Scholarly essays or chapters written by John Appel, Ian Gordon, Thomas Inge, Steven Jones, John Stevens, and Roland Wolseley examine blacks in comic strips in mainstream newspapers and magazines and/or black comic strips in black newspapers.6 Together these writings are useful for providing descriptive information about black comic strips and charac- ters that are not well-known, for providing comparisons of white and ethnic representations in comic strips, and for bringing attention and structure to this area of study within the field of comic art scholarship.
