Walter Hatke
Schenectady NY
Teachers (1982-2002)
Oil on canvas
Gift of the Library Foundation
2009.15
This painting has so many connections to Topeka. The artist grew up in Topeka and his mother, Mary Hatke, volunteered in the Topeka Room and at the Veterans’ Administration. In the oval portrait is Mary’s mother. Walter’s Aunt Ora McMillen, to whom this room belonged, taught at Topeka High School for 38 years. Uncle Delbert McMillen, the man in the portrait on the dresser, was a librarian at the Mabee Library at Washburn University. Both of Walter’s sons, George and Graham, helped paint the canvas. All Topekans, and all part of our history and community.
The Library Foundation’s generous gift allowed us to purchase it from the Columbia Bank auction and keep it in Topeka.

Artwork Review:
"At this juncture, Proposition 187 reemerges through a focus on Liberty. At the San Jose Center for Latino Arts, el Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana, Inc. (Movement of Latin American Art and Culture/ MACLA) mounted a juried exhibition entitled "Artists Respond to Proposition 187." Running from June 7 through July 15, 1995, the show featured twenty-five selected individual artists, one artists' group, and one guest artist. In their "Curatorial Statement," the Curatorial Committee states that "the artists have reacted to this event in our political history with anger, outrage, cynicism, sorrow, compassion and defiance."
Artist Andrew Kong Knight brings all of the sentiments the curators identify. His uncompromising print, "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor" (1994). incorporates within a caption these compassionate titular words from Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus." Printed more conspicuously are two declarative, exhortative statements: "DEPORT KING WILSON / VOTE No 187." Governor Wilson, wearing royal ermine and crowned like a king or Lady Liberty, manipulates the victims of 187 as if they're pawns in a chess game being played on a game board over which the caption is superimposed. Appropriately, two strands of barbed wire and something resembling a curved blade appears overhead, almost mimicking the threat of a guillotine. Nothing approaching Enrique Chagoya's "hidden transcript" would seem iconographically or semiotically probable in such an explicit and overt context."

24/150: Radges’ Topeka Directory, 1882. Samuel Radges published city directories with advertisements and cross-referenced addresses. In many years, both the residents and the addresses are cross-referenced, so one can find who lived at an address. In 1882, Radges put asterisks (*) by the names of prostitutes. When the city fathers told him he couldn’t do that, he agreed not to put asterisks by their names. The next year, he used plusses (+). The Topeka Room has a collection of directories dating back to 1870.

True as Earth, Strong as Water, 2011
Paper, silkscreen, etching
Edition of 26; Relay Replay Press, Portland, OR
TSCPL Permanent Collection
Through her Relay Replay Press, Shu-Ju Wang works with seniors with dementia to create artist’s books that illuminate the creative lives of the elderly. Shu-Ju has captured this life through etchings, handmade paper, and a few words.
This is the story of Arnold E. Metz, who grew up on a farm in South Dakota and served during World War II on the USS President Hayes. He completed his education after the war, graduating from Northern State University (Aberdeen, South Dakota), and had a long educational career in Michigan and South Dakota.
All 4 aspects of this exhibit are embodied in this one book:
The text tells the story of Mr. Metz’s life. The images, whether photographs or geometric designs, depict different stages of his life and give a visual form to his favorite song, San Antonio Rose.
The accordion book structure allows the book to unfold, revealing different stages of Mr. Metz’s life.
The materials tell the story of his travels from the Midwest to the Pacific Ocean. Each sheet of colored paper is made from materials found in the various places he’s lived. The first sheet of brown paper contains soil from the South Dakota farm that Mr. Metz was born and raised on. The blue paper contains water from the Pacific Ocean. The green-blue paper contains water from the Columbia River. The gray-blue paper contains water from the Willamette River, and the last brown paper contains soil from his Oregon farm.
Social Issues—Guns

Saturday Night Special, 1993
Mixed media: handbag, news paper, wood, religious medals, metal bird, handgun
TSCPL Permanent Collection, 2008.7
The term “Saturday Night Special” is slang for a compact, inexpensive
handgun. These guns have a reputation of being cheaply made, easily
affordable, and marketed to low-income buyers in high-crime areas. In the current context of gun control debate, how would you interpret this piece? What does it say to decorate the gun with a bird and pair it with
a silk purse? Is there a double meaning in the phrase “lady’s compact”?
In October 2010 the MoA (Museum of Art Seoul National University) in Korea acquired FF Scala for its permanent collection, the ‘Design and Crafts’ collection. It was the first time the museum made an aquisition of a typeface.
The exhibition ‘MoA Invites 2011’ took place from 19 January 2011 untill 2 February 2011, showing all new aquisitions of last year, including FF Scala. One of the nice things is that the museum actually uses FF Scala in its printed matter: the english text in the catalogue is set in it.

Marino Marini was born in the Tuscan town of Pistoia on February 27, 1901. He attended the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence in 1917. Although he never abandoned painting, Marini devoted himself primarily to sculpture from about 1922. From this time his work was influenced by Etruscan art and the sculpture of Arturo Martini. Marini succeeded Martini as professor at the Scuola d’Arte di Villa Reale in Monza, near Milan, in 1929, a position he retained until 1940. During this period Marini traveled frequently to Paris, where he associated with Massimo Campigli, Giorgio de Chirico, Alberto Magnelli, and Filippo de Pisis. In 1936 he moved to Tenero-Locarno, in the Ticino canton, Switzerland; during the following few years the artist often visited Zurich and Basel, where he became a friend of Alberto Giacometti, Germaine Richier, and Fritz Wotruba. In 1936 he received the Prize of the Quadriennale of Rome. He accepted a professorship in sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Milan, in 1940.
In 1946 the artist settled permanently in Milan. He participated in Twentieth-Century Italian Art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1944. Curt Valentin began exhibiting Marini’s work at his Buchholz Gallery in New York in 1950, on which occasion the sculptor visited the city and met Jean Arp, Max Beckmann, Alexander Calder, Lyonel Feininger, and Jacques Lipchitz. On his return to Europe, he stopped in London, where the Hanover Gallery had organized a solo show of his work, and there met Henri Moore. In 1951 a Marini exhibition traveled from the Kestner-Gesellschaft Hannover to the Kunstverein in Hamburg and the Haus der Kunst of Munich. He was awarded the Grand Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale in 1952 and the Feltrinelli Prize at the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome in 1954. One of his monumental sculptures was installed in the Hague in 1959.
Retrospectives of Marini’s work took place at the Kunsthaus Zürich in 1962 and at the Palazzo Venezia in Rome in 1966. His paintings were exhibited for the first time at Toninelli Arte Moderna in Milan in 1963–64. In 1973 a permanent installation of his work opened at the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Milan, and in 1978 a Marini show was presented at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. Marini died on August 6, 1980, in Viareggio.

This book brings centuries-old traditions together: papermaking, bookbinding, and basket weaving. The artist learned this twining technique from her brother-in-law, a master weaver. This sharing of knowledge is also a time-honored
tradition.
