Faculty artists from the Univer
sity of Nebraska-Lincoln will dis
play their work at the Sheldon
Memorial Art Gallery from Nov. 6
until Jan. i3, 1991.
Four faculty members will pres
ent lunch-time talks, discussing items
in Sheldon’s permanent collection,
said Daphne Deeds, curator and
assistant director of the gallery.
Deeds said the schedule for the
talks has not been decided yet.
The exhibit will show a related
body of work done by faculty who
are art educators and also profes
sional artists, Deeds said. Twelve
faculty artists will have work in the
exhibit.
A master print collection span
ning 500 years of art history is the
newest exhibit at Sheldon, Deeds
said.
The collection of 42 prints, in
cluding works by Rembrandt, Goya,
Picasso and Marini, will be exhib
ited until Nov. 25.
Deeds said thecollection, which
temporary exhibit on display until
Oct. 28. The grouping is taken
mostly from Sheldon’s permanent
collection, although a few pieces
are borrowed from private collec
tions, Deeds said.
Deeds said she furthered the
black-and-white theme of the ex
hibit by enlarging quotations by
the artists and hanging them in the
collection.
Deeds said an exhibit featuring
one of America’s foremost art-deco
sculptors, Paul Manship, will be on
display from Oct. 16 until Dec. 16.
The Sheldon Gallery has one of
Manship’s sculptures in its perma
nent collection. The rest of the
exhibit is borrowed from the Min
nesota Museum of Art in St. Paul,
Minn. r*
The Manship collection, called
“Changing Taste in America,” fea
tures sculptures, drawings and
photographs.
On Nov. 27, the James Enyeart
Collection will go on display, Deeds
said. The collection of 42 photo
graphs was donated to Sheldon’s
Photography collection by Enyeart.
Curiosity, requirements
lead students toward art
By Dionne Searcey
Staff Reporter
Curiosity about art and humani
ties requirements has recently led
many students to enroll in art classes,
a UNL official said.
Joseph M. Ruffo, chairman of
the department of art and art his
tory, said many students are taking
art classes to "see what art is like.”
He also said various majors are
requiring students to take art courses
as electives.
Many non-majors are enrolled
in art courses such as Drawing 101,
Photography l6l and art history
classes. A new series of minicourses
in papermaking has attracted a lot
of attention this semester also.
“People are generally interested
in art and art history,” he said.
Michael Hoff, associate profes
sor of art and art history said the
most popular art history course is
Introduction to Art History and
Criticism. Approximately 1,100stu
dents a semester enroll in this class.
About the same amount of stu
dents are turned down each se
mester.
"We wish we could serve more
students, but we are not able to
find a large enough lecture hall to
accommodate the number of stu
dents who want to take the class,”
he said.
Ruffo said the reason this course
is so popular is the fact that it
satisfies humanities requirements
of many majors.
Art majors also have kept upper
level enrollment secure, said Rutfo.
“Enrollment has maintained a
steady pattern of gradual increases
each semester,” Ruffo said.
Hoff said presently art history
faculty members are in the process
of instituting a master’s degree
program in art history for the fall of
1991.

Maybe not, but without you,
there is no art. All of us help decide
what art is. Art isn’t only a bunch of
old paintings stuck in a gallery in
1 urope. Wnen you go to an ex
hibit, when you buy an artist’s
work, when you even look up
from your food and notice a local
artist’s landscape hanging above
your table and comment on it, you
are directly determining what art is.
“Museums are boring.”
Museums are much more than
places where parents and teachers
'“torture” children, l ake a museum
break sometime when you’re
stressed.
And if you think spending time
in a museum can’t help your social
life, you’re dead wrong. You’d be
surprised how art lends itself to
romance Museumsaregreat places
for flirtation. All that art -- espe
cially the nudes. This is a great
opportunity to display both your
intensity and your sensitivity. It’s
also very easy to check someone
out and display yourself while both
of you are looking at the same
work. There are plenty of rooms to
stalk each other, and usually a gift
shop or cafe where the chase can
finally be resolved.
It may not be what Leonardo
intended — but then again, you
never know

A photographic exhibit by John
Pfahl is a “dialogue between the
artificial and the natural,” Deeds
said. She said Pfahl uses everyday
objects such as string and foil to
alter nature’s landscape. The color
photographs come from Sheldon’s
permanent collection.
The exhibit, called "Altered
Landscapes,” will be on display
until Oct. \4.
