Description of Pictures: Summerford Legacy
April 1 - May 28, 2017
Ben L. Summerford (1924-2015) taught at American University's Department of Art from 1951-1987. All of the artists in Summerford Legacy studied under Professor Summerford and took different aspects of his teaching to heart. Some stayed close to their artistic roots in AU's Department of Arts, and some used those roots to support far-flung but personal explorations. All of the artists exhibit the artistic integrity embodied by their teacher, and approach their art as an act of discovery.

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.

18. KATSUM_170401_094.JPG: Summerford Legacy Ben L. Summerford (1924 – 2015) studied under Karl Knaths and Sarah Baker at American University's Department of Art when it was located in the Phillips Gallery School during World War II. He began teaching at American University in 1951, and remained here until 1987, serving as chairman of the Department of Art frequently from 1957 to 1986. Any former student of Professor Summerford can attest to his brilliance in talking about the artistic process and in modelling its practice. As the artists in this exhibition testify, he was a great, generous teacher. He did not persuade us to join a school or a style so much as show us how to look at the world and act with intelligence, emotion, and technique. The artists exhibiting in Summerford Legacy each took different aspects of his teaching to heart. Some stayed close to their artistic roots from the Department of Art, and some used those roots to support far-flung but personal explorations. All of the artists demonstrate the artistic integrity embodied by their teacher, and approach their art as an act of discovery.

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.
