Student Picks: Women, Woodblock Prints and Words
The staff of the Cunningham Center gave me an opportunity to develop, shape and curate an exhibition that was a transformational experience for me.
Student Picks: Who Is She, Really?
I decided to center my show on “questions”: questions the artists ask, questions I posed, and questions the viewer might ask.
Teaching: Language classes in the Cunningham Center
My classes and I have been fortunate to benefit from the Cunningham Center for many years and in many ways.
A Double Take on Edward Hopper
Hopper's prints, like his paintings, are subtle vignettes of urban experience, rendered with psychological acuity and an eye to formal abstraction.
Introducing Student Picks
Our students help us see the collection fresh, through new eyes; they light on objects we rarely use or pair works we never would have thought of pairing.
In Praise of Books
All books, to some degree, are works of visual art.
Smith Tours: Girl Power
Here at Smith College we are known for our commitment to the empowerment of women.

Photographer, filmmaker, and Hampshire College Professor emeritus Jerome Liebling died on July 27 at the age of 87.
