Quarterly - FOCUS IN/ON (original) (raw)

HomeGustavus Quarterly

Note: The following text was written collaboratively by Loramy Gerstbauer, director, Peace Studies Program, and Donald Myers, director, Hillstrom Museum of Art. It was produced as part of a new program of the Hillstrom Museum of Art, titled FOCUS IN/ON, in which individual works in the Hillstrom Collection are explored in depth in a collaborative process that engages the expertise of College community members across the curriculum. The text was featured in the Museum’s exhibition Recent Acquisitions of the Hillstrom Museum of Art, which was on view from September 12 through November 6, 2005, and in which was displayed a lithograph by American artist Kerr Eby (1889–1946) titled Where Do We Go?, an image based on Eby’s experience in World War I.
