...more General Education courses that make the practice of art a manageable enterprise for all undergraduates. Kelsey’s own Culture and Belief 30 course Photography and Society, offered last fall assigned a final project that required students to make their own photography series inspired by photographers like Eadweard Muybridge...
...piece together his wretched figures, Bacon spent a lifetime ransacking art history. From Poussin he took the mouth of a screaming mother in The Massacre of the Innocents and from Degas the arched back of a woman bathing herself in a tub.

LeWitt's piece -- part of a touring show of work inspired by the 19th century photographer Eadweard Muybridge -- is a long black box with 10 portholes. A viewer passing from one to the next sees successive shots of an advancing naked woman. Broun compared the work to a peep show and removed it from the walls, until the resulting uproar compelled her to put it back. Broun says...
