While many artists use watercolour as a preparatory tool, Wittwer elevates it to stand on par with his oil paintings.

About this title

Synopsis

One hundred icons of art.

Creativity and Connection celebrates a century of art, featuring one hundred works from the collection of Lehigh University Art Galleries (LUAG) in Bethlehem, PA. With reflective essays accompanying each selection, the book weaves together history with fresh community perspectives on the museum’s collection, now spanning over 20,000 objects.

Opening with a first-ever history of the museum by independent scholar Keidra Daniels Navaroli, the book brings to life iconic and masterful paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and material culture collected over the past century. Personal writings by students, faculty, staff, artists, and community members—in styles ranging from the poetic to the analytical—illuminate the distinctive maker DNA of Lehigh University, where art has shaped teaching, campus life, and LUAG’s vision for the future.

Featured artists include Berenice Abbott, Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, Pierre Bonnard, Margaret Bourke-White, Walker Evans, Thomas Gainsborough, H�ctor Garc�a, Francisco de Goya, Carmen Herrera, Ellsworth Kelly, K�the Kollwitz, Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera, George Segal, Edward Steichen, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Kay WalkingStick, and many more.
