Fuss sucessfully infuses a kind of meta-realism into his work, using the actual process as a means of bringing the outside world into abstraction. His photograms—prints created sans negative, by placing objects directly on photosensitive material??resemble a cross between the line and drips of Pollock and the intertwining strands of a DNA molecule. In his photogram from the series “Details of Love” (1992), childlike and uneven multi-colored (but predominantly black) squiggles dance around the browned surface, pulling and leaping and creating a tangled web.

This approach does not mean that it is unimportant to cover “material?? or make significant points, just that there are various ways to do so, and the more confident one feels as a teacher, the more one can trust to the conversational, Socratic process to bring everyone around, eventually, to whatever is necessary for the class to be a success...

Stuntz says this quality forms the bedrock of HLS and will always distinguish it from other schools. This “raw material,” Stuntz claims, is better...

Many Harvard students can relate to the frustration of going to a course website and finding nothing more than the names of the professor and teaching fellows. Professors should be expected to make all course material??such as handouts, syllabi, lecture notes and problem sets—electronically available to Harvard students. Ensuring that the sites are sensibly designed and regularly updated would do much to help students manage their course load and decide which courses to take in the future...
