I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Help? The Medium (Email) links are for screen viewing and emailing. You'll want bigger sizes for printing. [Click here for additional help]

Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. GWUART_130118_05.JPG: "Suffusion" Sculpted by Arthur Carter, 1999
2. GWUART_130118_14.JPG: Jules Olitski Helios the Titan, 2006 In Greek mythology, Helios was imagined as a handsome god crowned with the shining aureole of the sun. He drove the chariot of the sun across the sky each day to earth -- circling Oceanus and returning through the world-ocean to his palace in the east at night. Homer described Helios's chariot as drawn by solar steeds (Iliad XVI, 779). Later, Pindar described it as drawn by "Fire-darting steeds" (Olympian Ode 881). Still later, the horses were given fiery names: Pyrios, Aeos, Aethon, and Phlegon. As time passed, Helios was increasingly identified with Apollo, the god of light. The equivalent of Helios in Roman mythology was Sol Invictus. There are three "Titans" and three "Cyclops." All six in the series were created from cement mixers. The artist recycled industrial materials and transformed them into sculpture. The prominent circular cutout motif on Helios responds to the changing passage of the sun as it marks the days, months, and seasons at GW.
3. GWUART_130621_08.JPG: George Washington An authorized cast bronze by the Gorham Foundry from the original by Jean Antoine Houdon (1741-1828) which stands in the State Capitol at Richmond, Virginia. It was purchased by The George Washington University in 1932 on the occasion of the George Washington Bicentennial. After standing in a number of locations on the campus, the statue found its permanent home in the University Yard and was dedicated on this spot on September 6, 1991. "George Washington" is part of The George Washington University Permanent Collection.
4. GWUART_130621_25.JPG: Limits of Infinity III by John Safer, 1979

6. GWUART_131114_37.JPG: GW's River Horse Legend has it that the Potomac was once home to these wondrous beasts. George and Martha Washington are even said to have watched them cavort in the river shallows from the porch of their beloved Mount Vernon on summer evenings. Credited with enhancing the fertility of the plantation, the Washingtons believed the hippopotamus brought them good luck and children on the estate often attempted to lure the creatures close enough to the shore to touch a nose for good luck. So, too, may generations of students of The George Washington University. Art for wisdom, Science for joy, Politics for beauty, And a Hippo for hope.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
