    Exhibit gives life to portrait
    Nancy Tousley, Calgary Herald
    Tracing History, a pendant to the Glenbow Museum's Honouring Traditions, showcases four contemporary artists, also in the larger exhibition, who were invited to respond to the museum's collections by making a new work. Terrance Houle knew when the invitation came that he would be choosing a pastel portrait by Winold Reiss. A likeness of Many Snake Woman, it shows a beautiful girl with an intense gaze. The German-born, New-York based artist made the drawing in the mid-1930s, when the sitter was 17. Read More >

    Works by the Masters in a Celebration of Drawing
    New York Times - May 4, 2008
    What a pity it would be if the many big touring exhibitions at Yale managed to deflect attention from "Master Drawings," a new, quieter show at the Yale University Art Gallery. The European old master drawings shown here are from the 15th to 19th centuries. They are part of the permanent collection, but together form an exhibition no less compelling than the imported works.

    From Costume design and illustration 
    By Ethel Traphagen
    There are some books which may help the ambitious student in the life class to observe and impress on the mind fundamental facts which it is believed most life-class teachers will agree in thinking extremely useful. Among these are Dunlop's Anatomical Diagrams, Figure Drawing by Hatton, Anatomy in Art by J. S. Hartley, Richter, Marshall or Duval, and Drawing the Human Figure by J. H. Vanderpoel. If the student is studying without an instructor, Practical Drawing, by Lutz, will be found helpful.
