...ticking of a clock.For an idiosyncratic artist who created his own genre of art, Schwitters brought disappointingly little to the literary table with his fairy tales. Still, “Luck Hans” is not without its merits. Not surprisingly, the highlight of the book is visual rather than literary. Schwitters uses bizarre illustrative typography to narrate “The Scarecrow.” Though the story itself is not much more than a complicated “The House that Jack Built,” its innovative conversion of language into visual art strongly represents Schwitter?...
...system. Released last week to librarians, and on Tuesday to the University community, the new system will be constantly updated based on feedback from users, Robinson said.

The grim violence and dark humor contrasts well with...
...students, and, given the limited number of courses, priority must be given to VES concentrators. This situation makes it very difficult for non-VES concentrators to have the experience of taking a studio art course during their time at Harvard. Both VES concentrators who pursue serious work in visual art and non-VES concentrators who desire to take an art class simply for enjoyment purposes find themselves with a dearth of options. Yet, instead of expanding painting offerings in the curriculum, Harvard is allowing beloved painting instructor Mitchnick to depart as soon as her visiting lecturer contract expires...
