Peace Pole, Seal of Main Bldg.
(Student Life)
|
Description: |
The Peace Pole will be available until 10/31/18 for members of the Wofford community to tie continue tying orange ribbons around it. This is in response to the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue, as orange represents the color for ending gun violence. The Peace Pole has "may there be peace on Earth" written in 9 different languages. The side-walls of Old Main also include the names and pictures of the victims and a message board where you can write a message to the Tree of Life. These messages will be sent to them at the end of the week. Please join Wofford Amnesty International and the Office of the Chaplain in keeping the victims, their family, and members of the Jewish community in your thoughts and prayers.

Art Exhibit: Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection, Richardson Family Art Museum, upper level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson
Collection showcases forty-one artists—both native Southerners who recorded
their own region and distant places, and others who were transitory visitors or
seasonal residents. The result is a varied assortment of individual approaches,
and, in the words of the popular American Impressionist Childe Hassam, “some
things that are charming.”Many of the painters on viewembraced the central tenets of
Impressionism: light-filled natural settings loosely painted in high-key colors
with visible brushstrokes; fluidity of form; and an emphasis on atmospheric
transience. A “scenic impression” is the evocation of something seen, rather
than its literal transcription. In terms of subject matter, it is most
frequently a landscape, but it can also extend to a figurative composition set
outdoors. The artist’s experience—his or her impression of the scene at
hand—is paramount. The earliest paintings in the exhibition date from the 1880s and
illustrate a Barbizon-inspired aesthetic consisting of dark tones and simple
landscapes. Other works postdate Impressionism and display greater concern for
expression and form, along with an awareness of the picture plane.

Exhibit: Japanese Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras, Richardson Family Art Museum, lower level
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
Japanese
Art of the Edo and Meiji Eras (1603-1912) displays a variety of cultural expressions of
Japan, including tea ceremony implements, woodblock prints, porcelains, and ink
paintings. The Edo Period (1603-1868), named after the Shogun capital, is
one of the most prosperous and thriving in the history of Japanese art.
The political stability established by the Tokugawa family prompted an increase
in artistic, cultural and social development, with flourishing and distinctive
aesthetics represented in paintings, ceramics, woodblock prints and decorative
arts. The Meiji Period (1868-1912), an era of radical social and
political change from feudalism to modernity and adopted Western influences,
witnessed a blending of cultures and an innovative interchange of old ideas and
new in Japanese art. This exhibition intends to further enhance scholarly
research for students in ARTH 322 Art of Japan, and several of the labels in
this exhibition will be written by students. Featured
works are loaned from the Shiro Kuma Collection of Edwin and Rhena Symmes in
Atlanta, GA, from the Edmund Daniel Kinzinger (1888-1963) Collection of Japanese Prints loaned by
David and Barbara Goist in Asheville, NC, and from the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Hunter Stokes ('60) in Florence, SC.
