    THE ART STUDENTS LEAGUE PRESENTS Faces of the League Portraits from the Permanent Collection Peggy Bacon Laurent Charcoal on paper, 16 ¾” x 13 ¾” Margaret Frances "Peggy" Bacon (b. 1895-d. 1987), an American artist specializing in illustration, painting, and writing. Born in Ridgefield, Connecticut, she began drawing as a toddler (around eighteen months), and by the age of 10 she was writing and illustrating her own books. Bacon studied at the Art Students League from 1915-1920, where her artistic talents truly blossomed under the tutelage of her teacher John Sloan. Artists Reginald Marsh and Alexander Brook (whom she would go on to marry) were part of her artistic circle during her time at the League. Bacon was famous for her humorous caricatures and ironic etchings and drawings of celebrities of the 1920s and 1930s. She both wrote and illustrated many books, and provided artworks for many other people’s publications, in addition to regularly exhibiting her drawings, paintings, prints, and pastels. In addition to her work as a graphic designer, Bacon was a highly accomplished teacher for over thirty years. Her works appeared in numerous magazine publications including Vanity Fair, Mademoiselle, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Dial, the Yale Review, and the New Yorker. Her vast output of work included etchings, lithographs, and her favorite printmaking technique, drypoint. Bacon’s illustrations have been included in more than 64 children books, including The Lionhearted Kitten. Bacon’s prints are in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art, all in New York.

  • Values Clarification in Counseling and Psychotherapy
    ■ ADVANCE PRAISE FOR VALUES CLARIFICATION IN COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY “ Th is important book addresses an essential component of counseling and psychotherapy that is too oft en overlooked in training programs and the professional literature. With clear guidelines, and lots of clinical examples, Dr. Kirschenbaum demonstrates not only how to help clients clarify their values on issues such as relationships, love and sex, work, money, substance use, religion and spirituality, politics, and meaning in life, but also how to resolve their confl icts around such values and thus promote clients’ living more consistently their highest purposes. Deeply relevant to seasoned counselors and therapists as well as students, this book not only provides practical instruction, but philosophically astute expositions of what values are, their central role in human life, and how the values clarifi cation process can be applied with multicultural sensitivity to diverse populations. It is highly recommended for anyone who practices counseling or psychotherapy.” andre marquis, ph.d., Associate Professor, Dept. of Counseling and Human Development, Warner Graduate School of Education, University of Rochester; author, Th eoretical Models of Counseling and Psychotherapy . “Counseling and psychotherapy is by no means a ‘value free’ enterprise; both clients and mental health professionals have preferred values and beliefs. Furthermore, both profession- als and clients may need help in understanding and clarifying their values in the therapeutic process. Dr. Kirschenbaum has developed an excellent book that not only helps mental pro- fessionals develop the skills necessary to facilitate client value clarifi cation, but also assists professionals in understanding and clarifying their own personal values, and thereby avoid- ing the juxtaposition of those values onto clients in therapy.
