has work in the collection of the Weatherspoon Art Gallery, later shows
in New York City at the Betty Parsons Gallery; Walter did a 'Paradox Series"
while at UNCG.] after serving in the army 1942, he studied at the Washington
University School of Fine Arts under Max
Beckman [1884-1950, from Germany."Born in
Leipzig, Germany, Max Beckman was a key German expressionist painter who
studied in Weimar and in the late 1940s was in residence in St. Louis,
Missouri. "quote from biography in AskArt. Where he no doubt met my
teacher, Walter Barker.]. Later after Walter married ; he gave to me an
Abissian cat named 'Pip', who once belonged to Max Beckman. I used to say,
" I have a famous cat; Pip belonged to Max Beckman." When I moved
from Greensboro to Toronto I took Pip with me. Pip had a great respect
for artwork and never stepped on my paintings even when on the floor, instead
he gingerly walked around them. I imagined that 'Pip' was once been an
artist in Montmartre in a previous life and had been reincarnated as a
cat in this life. Walter and I were able to exchange letters after all
these years. Wonderful!

- My Masters of Fine Art degree thesis advisor was
author Arturo Vivante. Arturo was born in Rome, Italy in 1923. According to
an online biography " Vivante has since been on the faculty
of several American universities and is now retired and living in Wellfleet,
Massachusetts." from Arturo Vivante Biographical
Information: http://www.nd.edu/~ndr/issues/ndr5/vivante/bio.html. My memories of Auturo are two fold. First memories are
sitting in his office on numerous occasions and discussing my sculpture
projects and his writing. I remember him as an exceeding gentle and kind
man, with a wide smile and zest for life's many experiences, in particular
the small nuances and exchanges between people. For example one memory
I have is of Arturo Vivante telling me about a drive through the Alps with
a woman friend, when his car broke down, he was able to take apart a package
of chewing gum, save the silver liner, which were then made of aluminum
and wedge that small piece somewhere in the car engine to successfully
get the car going again. As I remember this tale Auturo told me, it was
from one of his short stories or a novel, that he must have written before
1969. I am not sure which book it was included in. It could have been,
A Goodly Babe
(novel), published by Little, Brown: 1966, or .The French Girls of Killmi (short stories) also published
by Little, Brown, 1967 or Doctor Giovanni (novel), also Little, Brown; 1969. Arturo
Vivante could always tell a good tale. My second memory is how Auturo Vivante
put me at ease during the thesis verbal exam itself; that exam included
a number of professors asking me questions and took place in the lobby
gallery of The Weatherspoon Art Gallery, where my four sculptures were
installed. [Now called: The Weatherspoon Art Museum, of the
University of North Carolina. http://weatherspoon.uncg.edu/]
Auturo offered me a cigarette, spent time carefully offering to light the
cigarette for me, while smiling all the while, as if to say silently, 'Don't
worry, you will do fine.' Vivante's calm presence certainly helped me to
get though my verbal thesis exam, as I was very tense at the time. For
more on these four sculptures and to see photographs of them. Please
