Bunting, who retired last year, was joined by two other women in receiving honorary degrees. Georgia O'Keeffe, the artist, and Margaret Mead, the anthropologist, were also honored...
Georgia O'Keeffe, a well-known artist for the past 50 years, was awarded the only Doctor of Arts degree. Her best-known paintings--starkly beautiful prairie landscapes--are displayed in the leading museums and galleries of the United States...
...early works are the most impersonal pieces in this highly personal show, composed not from real world materials but from fragments of paintings and painted imitations of printed patterns. It is as if the artist, this early in his career, could not yet make a whole painting, and instead combined successful forays on the armature of a Cubist model. Some of the works, in fact, are actually renderings or interpretations of Picasso prints in collage. Verbal and literary significances, which permeate all of Motherwell's career as a painter, can be seen as early as Mallarme's Swan, dating from...

At times, such gestures as the inclusion of envelopes addressed to Motherwell himself or fragments of programs advertising "I'aventure de I'art abstrait" seem incongruous, amidst the terms of abstract impersonality. For surrounding the bits of cut and pasted everyday material are the gruff lines and shapes of Motherwell's own brand of abstract expressionism. But the elements which move to the forefront are the individual ones: it is the artist's signature which is rendered large...
...personal interests peculiar, perhaps only to Robert Motherwell, perhaps to a whole class of painters, can be seen as an extension of the artist's signature, that signature itself plays an important role in a number of the individual collages.
