| DATE: 1963 to 1967 |
Richmond Professional Institute,
|
PLACE: Richmond, Virginia |
- Memories: One of
my great teachers was Richard Carlyon at RPI now called VCU
Mr. Carlyon opened the door to art history for me. He taught
me to seek an art full of purpose and feeling. Richmond Professional Institute,
was in Richmond, Virginia. It is now called Virginia Commonwealth University.
The great RPI team at the helm: [This picture was taken from
a recent award site-March 2002- which I am as of 2004 unable to find.]
-
- Carol enrolled in Richmond Professional Institute,
now Virginia
Commonwealth University, as full-time student of art; does design,
painting, drawing, art history, photography; where she gained her B.F.A.
or Bachelor of Fine Art Degree in 1967 and received The
Gold Key Award upon her graduation. .
-
- These were my professors and educators:
-
- Carol's teachers at The Richmond Professional Institute or RPI,
were Jewett Campbell for painting and drawing,{William} Richard
Carlyon {tiny portrait photo of Richard above.}for art history, drawing
and painting, Jim Bumgardner, [James Bumgardner],
- Willard Pilchard - "Willy" for printmaking and typography,
Jonathan Bowie for architecture and design, George Nan for
photography, Art Beal for graphic design, George Nan, Maurice
Bonds {art history and head of fine art department}; John T. Hilton
{head of the Commercial Art Department} were at the helm."This
amazing team of teachers had a profound effect on my long term thinking
about art and on my approach to art and its making. I was there in great
time jewel slot of 1963 to 1967 and feel so lucky to have been a part of
that time."
-
- The Commercial Art Department was the department that I was
enrolled in for study, and oddly, and to my benefit the Commercial Art
Department had a vast focus on fine art, as many of it's teachers were
practicing artists. I believe that I actually got a better 'fine' art education
in Commercial Art Department, than I would have had I been a student enrolled
in the actual Fine Art Department.
-
- My teachers were on to everything happening. Once in one of their tiny
office round table chats {There was actually no round table only a tiny
4 by 7 foot office 4 chairs a desk and folks} Richard said: " We heard
there are these 2 guys up in D.C. doing painting that looks like awning
canvas. Let's pile in a V.W. bus and go up to D.C. and see what they are
doing this weekend." So about 8 of us did just that. I found myself
face to face with the art vision of Morris Louis and Kenneth
Noland. All of a sudden abstract expressionism just was radically sweep
aside by this newer clean way to paint. They also brought in just anyone
they thought we should hear or see or experience. And once I even danced
with Barnett Newman at Jewett Campbell's house/studio. Barnett
Newman had been invited by my group of professors to come visit RPI
and give a lecture; a dinner and party followed in the evening, and that
is where I met Barnett Newman.
-
- Richard Carlyon always impressed me with his razor sharp mind
and insights into art history. I remember his vast personal art library,
his love for books and learning. The dedication that he gave to his art,
painting and drawing. I remember his great sense of line and his bold shapes,
his great drawings. What a great and intense time. Students lined up for
and packed his art history lectures, which often were in such demand that
it was standing room only if you arrived a bit late.

Here
is an excerpt from a Richard Carlyon testimonial I've found on-line,
written by former student Carol Sutton, and which pre-dates his death -
"One of my great teachers was Richard Carlyon at RPI, now called VCU.
Mr. ...
http://anaba.blogspot.com/2006/01/richard-carlyon.html
- Once in a joint class,
Mr. Carlyon and Mr. Bumgardner, gave a lecture on modern art, Jim Bumgardner
asked the class , "What is Cubism?", then he spun around picked
up a paper cup and smashed it onto the blackboard, then removed it, held
it aloft in his hand, and the pronounced, "Now that is Cubism".
To this date that was the most graphic example explanation of Cubism I
have yet witnessed.
-
- The Spring season RPI held the 'BANG' Arts Festival and Film Festival.
One year I designed and silk-screen printed a poster, that had a super
enlarged antique print I had found of a baby screaming, at the top of the
poster I put large fuchsia pink 19th century carnival wood type with the
letters: B A N G. The posters were so popular that they often got taken
down as fast as they were put in place.John Cage, Gordon Mumma, and
Allen Kaprow did happenings. Judith Dunn and Robert Morris
preformed a nude dance work that was very minimal at one of these BANG
Festivals. (read below)

- EXCERPT:
The Sixth Annual Theresa Pollak Prizes
- QUOTE: "For the sixth year, Richmond magazine
recognizes those who enrich us with their talents and continue the creative
legacy of Theresa Pollak, founder of VCU's School of the Arts. To get a
glimpse of Pollak's own work, visit VCU's Anderson Gallery from Jan. 23
to March 7, 2004, when an exhibit primarily focused on her works on paper
will be presented.
- Harry Kollatz Jr.
- Lifetime Achievement: Bernard Martin
- Theresa Pollak saved Bernard Martin's
job.
- Five young professors were summoned before
Richmond Professional Institute president Dr. George J. Oliver the day
after a dance performance that was part of a weeklong arts festival Martin
helped organize and promote. Visiting sculptor/dancer Robert Morris, in
the nude, led his troupe in a piece called "The Watermelon Switch."
- Martin, Richard Carlyon, Jim Bumgardner, John
Bowie and Willie Pilchard were brought
in to explain their involvement. "I am certain he intended to fire
all five of us," Martin recalls with a rueful chuckle. "Then
came this slight knocking on the door, and in comes Theresa Pollak, this
diminutive, white-haired Jewish lady. And she says, "Dr. Oliver, I
know you were concerned about the performance last night, but it was lovely.
I went home and lay awake remembering its beauty, how stirring it was,"
and she went on in rapturous language. Then Dr. Oliver thanked and dismissed
her and glared at us and said, "Never do this again! There will never
be any more nude dance performances at RPI as long as I'm president."
If he'd fired the five of us, the direction of that art school in the 1960s
would?ve gone in a very different direction."
- Martin grew up in Furham,Va., "on the edge
of Appalachia, with moonshiners, where nobody had ever heard of Rembrandt
or Picasso," he says. " END QUOTE---continues:]

age nineteen in Richmond, Virginia and years later divorced in Toronto,
Ontario.
-
- Kent English of Salisbury, Maryland, who has remained a life
long friend; Judy Meade of the hills of western side of Virginia
in the mountains, who did an extraordinary photographic portrait portfolio
of her mother, younger brothers and family, for her thesis, which I own
, as we would trade our thesis projects with each other. [see Image-WINTER

- Daingerfield Ashton III, [or Dangerfield Ashton III] a
wild and intense painter, who was a friend and lived in our apartment basement
for six months. Dennis and I llived on the corner of Plum and Floyd Avenue,
in the Fan District of Richmond, Virginia. Our address was 100 Plum Street,
and Dejanne Lemmon was our neighbor just north at 102 Plum Street. Daingerfield
Ashton III filled sketchbooks with his drawings. I own two of these sketchbooks
and a few of his small paintings on board and canvas; including a portrait
of Dejanne Lemmon. Daingerfield drew outlined nudes against abstract
hills. He may have gone to Haight Ashbury in California after he left Richmond,
Virginia. Recently I found out Daingerfield is living in South Carolina,
and I have put is found address below with much more information.
Ralph Cox, of North Carolina, a wonderful painter, Ralph worked
with me on Saturdays at the Virginia Museum of Fine Art teaching
children's art classes, as we both had Fellowships /Grants from The Virginia
Museum of Fine Arts; which required use to help with the Children's
Art Classes in exchange for our VIRGINIA MUSEUM

- Latest Awards Bring Total Since 1940
To 814 Fellowships Worth $2.5 Million
-
- Thirty-one Virginia artists and art students
have been awarded a total of $182,000 in 2001 Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
Fellowships.
-
- In the 61 years in which the Virginia
Museum of Fine Arts has awarded Fellowships, the museum has awarded $2.5
million to 814 professional and student artists who are permanent residents
of Virginia.
-
- "Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowships
provide crucial support for artists who wish to advance their careers or
further their education," says Dr. Michael Brand, director of the
Virginia Museum.
-
- Money for the Fellowships comes from
a privately endowed fund administered by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
It was initiated in 1940 by John Lee Pratt of Fredericksburg (husband of
Lillian Pratt, donor of the museum's Fabergé collection). The fund
was later supplemented by gifts from the Lettie Pate Whitehead Foundation,
the J. Warwick McClintic Jr. Scholarship Fund, and the Virginia Museum
of Fine Arts Foundation. "
-
- NOTE: This is very interesting
to me:It was initiated in 1940 by John Lee Pratt of Fredericksburg (husband
of Lillian Pratt, donor of the museum's Fabergé collection)- particularly
in lieu of my latest art work on the paintings of Carl Faberge's Jewelry
that I have been working on since 1995. Now I realize that I would have seen those very Faberge works,
given by John Lee and Lillian Pratt, while I was at the Virginia Museum
on those Saturdays with my friend and fellow art student, Ralph Cox.
In addition to seeing those at the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, my very
first exposure to Faberge works would have been when I was a teenager going
to Granby High School, in Norfolk, Virginia, and lived very near to The
Hermitage Foundation, where I would sometimes go to do oil painting outdoor
sketches. The
Hermitage Foundation Museum, Norfolk, VA owns a number of Faberge works on display. {http://www.hermitagefoundation.org/} See:

- Obituaries, page 4:
-
- In Loving Memory of Kent J. English
- July 26, 1945 - June 19, 2005
-
- Kent J. English died on Father's Day 2005 at Coastal Hospice on the
Lake surrounded by his loving family .
- He was 59 years old.
-
- Kent had a sensitive spirit and was a well-known and highly respected
artist, gifted in painting, photography
- and recently pursuing skills in sculpture. He was also
the owner of the English Sign Systems of Salisbury,
- Maryland.
-
- A retrospective show of his art was featured at Salisbury University
in 2000 and his work has been included
- in numerous recent regional shows as well as New York City. He
loved to paint and his art is abstract and
- vibrant with color, energy highly textured surfaces. It is filled
with imagery that often reflects a sense of deep personal spirituality.
-
- Born and raised in Salisbury, Kent attended local schools. He earned
a BFA from Richmond Professional Institute ( now Virginia Commonwealth
University) in 1967 where he studied under Jewett Campbell, Richard Carlyon
and James Bumgardner. He was awarded an MFA by the University of North
Carolina in Greensboro in 1969, studying with realist Walter Barker and
the minimalist--modernist Will Insley, among others. Kent was awarded a
prestigious Whitney Museum School Fellowship and studied at that New York
City school during 1968 and 1969. He was selected to Participate in the
Triangle Artist Workshop in Pine Plains, New York in 1983 under Sir Anthony
Caro.
-
- English's senior thesis at the UNCG was a remarkable abstract sculpture
exhibit and event, including whole and broken eggs balanced upon barbed
wire, with eggs splashed against plate glass windows. Ken likened the fragility
of the delicate eggs played off against the harsh barbed wire as symbols
of the Vietnam War and the then recent American invasion of Cambodia with
its destruction of life and beauty.
-
- He enjoyed travel throughout Europe with close friends. These trips
deepened his appreciation of past artistic masters and the culture of other
peoples. A time spent in the Spanish Andalusian city of Seville during
Holy Week of 2002 made a lasting impression with its music, art, architecture,
pageantry and religious symbolism. His bicycling an tandem tours in Italy
an the United Stares with his wife Robin and friends were especially meaningful.
-
- Kent was a natural engineer and an avid reader of history and art.
He was inspired by the engineering and artistic genius of Brunelleschi's
dome design for the Duomo of Florence. He employed his own considerable
engineering and artistic skills as owner of English Sign Systems since
1971, to design and build signs for local businesses and organizations.
-
- Kent is survived by his loving wife Robin, their daughter Kim Nisbet
of New York City, his parents James H. English Jr. and Kathryn, former
owners of English Restaurants, three brothers and their wives, James H.
English III and Pat, Philip T. English and Terry, Chris English and Helene,
all residing in the Salisbury area, many aunts and uncles, nephews and
nieces, as well as many friends.
-
- Visitation will be held form 11:00 to 11:30 on Wednesday at Spring
Hill Memory Gardens prior to a graveside service commencing at 11:30 am.
Memorial gifts in lieu of flowers may be sent to the

- VCUArts e-League, October 2003, In this issue:I. -VCU ARTISTS IN
THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT
- Quote: "Daisy Youngblood is a sculptor whose figurative forms
in clay and cast bronze convey intense emotional complexity. Employing
traditional hand-modeling techniques, Youngblood constructs sculptures
of animals, humans, and haunting hybrids of the two; among her subjects
are hulking gorillas, mournful elephants, horses, goats, and fantastical
hawk-women. Rather than distancing themselves as exotic, threatening
beasts, Youngblood's figures evoke a sense of vulnerability, with bodies
bent, twisted, and fragmented. She further humanizes these assorted
creatures by giving them an inhabitable quality; their eyeless faces and
hollow bodies inspire a reaction of empathy, drawing the viewer's gaze
inward into an empty space beyond their fragile shells. Her chosen
material of the earth itself imbues her work with ancient, archetypal attributes
and bears a symbolic relationship to the various mythological traditions
her imagery calls to mind. Through their rough contours, scarred
surfaces, and pared-down forms, Youngblood's pieces invite comparisons
to both prehistoric cave painting and abstract expressionism, bringing
about an unexpected convergence of two dramatically disparate periods of
art history. With her aptitude for molding psychological vitality into
lifeless clay, Youngblood creates striking contemporary sculptures with
immediate, visceral, and enduring impact.
- Daisy Youngblood attended VCU's School of the Arts from 1963-66.
Since 1979, she has had numerous solo and group exhibitions both in the
United States and elsewhere, including New York, San Francisco and Milan,
Italy. Youngblood's work is included in the permanent collection of the
Toledo Museum of Art."

Notes on the S.F. Oracle-For the Haight-Ashbury in The Sixties
CD-ROM , By Allen Cohen-One of the founders of The
San Francisco Oracle-The San Francisco Oracle,2548 Myra
Dell,Walnut Creek, Ca. 94596,tel. 510-935-6492--"The Dialectical
Pendulum-The years 1963-67 were formative to the Haight-Ashbury Hippie
phenomenon. Swings of the dialectical pendulum of American history underlie
the extraordinary changes that were about to occur in America. "
- The Oracle Staff
- Around this time most of the artists and writers, secretaries
and business people who were to steer the Oracle on and off course
in the year and a half to follow had gathered together: Stephen Levine,
a New York poet who had moved to Santa Cruz and then to San Francisco;
Travis Rivers, a Texan who brought Janis Joplin to San Francisco and managed
Tracy Nelson, another blues singer; and George Tsongas, a poet and novelist
from Greece and San Francisco. Though Tsongas had left after Oracle
#2, he would return later and play a major role both artistically and
editorially. Hetti McGee, originally from Liverpool, England, and Ami Magill
were our staff designers. Along with Gabe Katz they originated and/or implemented
the techniques -- split fountains, screens, double burns, rubylith overlays
-- that made the Oracle palette come to life. Other staff included
Harry Monroe, poet, world traveler and inspiration to all who would sit
through the night and listen to him talk; Dangerfield Ashton,
the best pen and ink artist South Carolina ever gave to America;
Gene Grimm, a 6ft. 6in. former marine who had
become as gentle as a butterfly; and Steve Lieper, a lanky Tennessee hillbilly
who did a lot of everything.

a wider view, encompassing landscapes of Europe, the devastation and beauty
of Mt St Helens, the haunting emptiness of Petra, and most recently aerial
views of mines, toxic waste dumps, nuclear test sites, and massive agricultural
projects."

Spence Christy.

-
- Some quotes from the letter I got from John on April 8, 2004:
-
- "My wife Bunny died September 11, 2001,
of all days, of an untreatable pulmonary fibrosis. We lived in the
Washington, DC, area for over 30 years, where she became a much-beloved
teacher of art and personal writing. She is best known here for her
fabric art, which she undertook beginning in 1969 when she thought she
would have to spend the rest of her life bedridden from a congenital back
deformity. Thirty years later following back surgery for the same
condition, which doctors had been afraid to operate for earlier, she was
no longer able to do fabric work but produced over 2000 pen-and-ink drawings.
She kept a personal journal for over three decades and left 125 hand-written
diaries. Happily, she was not bedridden for most of those years,
although she lived with chronic pain most of her life.
-
- Following her death I established a Maryland
nonprofit corporation, which has received an advance IRS designation as
a public charity, to preserve her art and writing and make it more available
to the public. We don't have much money, but we have a game plan
and are hopeful. The Foundation is very much interested in hearing
from anyone who has any of her work or letters, or memories they would
like to share. We will have a web site later this year. Contributions
are solicited and most welcome, and are tax-deductible. Aldeth
Spence Christy Foundation, Inc, 5 Victoria Square, PO Box 1027, Frederick,
MD 21702, phone 301.682.3441.
-
- Bunny was the light of my life, and I worshipped
the ground she walked on. I've never known anyone more doggedly determined
to make art that matters, or more willing to pay the price for it.
She had a genius for finding the right ways to encourage others to pursue
their artistic needs and dreams, and a number of grateful people have told
me that she changed their lives.
-
- The Diane Leatherman who is responsible for the
listings by which you learned of the Foundation is our vice-president.
I am copying her here along with another board member, Barbara Walker.

Oh, and I am The_Black_Bird because Bunny drew me as such in her work for
37 years." - John Christy

- SFA prof sets the record straight on his G-man
father
- by J. Nicole Long
- "Purvis,
director ad interim of the Visual Arts Division at SFA and chairman of
the graphic design department, is disappointed that his father has been
misrepresented by the sloppiness of other authors and by Hollywood. "Even
on projects I've contributed to," he says, "they haven't been
precise. I'm glad that interest in my father is being rekindled and I think
Hoover's racket is becoming more well-known. I'm being very meticulous
in my research. I just want to write the thing and put the matter to bed."
Alston Purvis, director ad interim of SFA's Visual Arts Division. Photo
by Kalman Zabarsky
- That's an understandable sentiment when viewed
in the context of Purvis' busy life. Between writing his book and attending
to his administrative responsibilities as chairman, Purvis finds time to
teach, paint, and work in collage and freelance graphic design. He is also
married, with a young son.
- "My father decorated his office with my
paintings," Purvis says. "He always told me I had a gift that
he didn't possess."
-
- Purvis is currently working in watercolor. His
subjects include portraits, landscapes, and "whatever it is I want
to do," he says.
-
- In the past he has done several one-man exhibitions
of photography in London, New York, Paris, and Amsterdam. Purvis wrote
Dutch Graphic Design 1918-1945, published by Vendler Rhineholt. His engagement
with the Dutch aesthetic is evident in his art, teaching, and writing.
"Text" seems to have a more prominent presence in Purvis' life
than in the life of many visual artists. "Collage," he says,
"is one of my great loves -- I write like I make collage: take a bunch
of stuff and put it together."

himself. Johnnie is proudly from Mount Sidney, Virginia. Johnnie found
me via this page. He is a graphic designer, who has practiced design in
the greater Washington, D. C. area for many years and now lives in Warrenton,
Virginia.
-
- His RPI photograph is on page 153 , of 'The Cobblestone', RPI, Year
book of 1964.
-
- John believes RPI professors in Commercial Art gave him very strong
suite in conceptual design skills, making clear emphasis on thinking problems
through. John also credits his being raised on an angus beef farm as providing
him with similar skills base; as this is where as a youth he dreamed, made
things work, made his own toys, and solved problems, learned how to think.
-
- He remembers showing the slides in Richard Carylon's 'Foundation' Class;
also had lots of stories about Jewett Campbell, James Bumgardner, Jack
Hilton, and Art Beal as his teachers amoung others. John thinks some design
today is just 2-D decoration, lacking any concept. John was able to correct
my incorrect link to Art Beal and also corrected the name of Libby Meggs,
wife of Phil Meggs. Thanks John. So great to have contact with you. John
has provided me with much of the information on Arthur Oliver Biehl, who
grew up in Norfolk, Virginia, like myself.

Salvatore Federico "Models
- Mr. Beaseley
was an Irish wolfhound, with wonderful conformation. Our professor
in Fundamentals of Drawing, Jewett Campbell, brought Beaseley to pose for
our class. He would get up on the model stand and patiently assume a sitting
pose, or one lying down, or another standing up. Mr. Campbell would say
"Change," and Mr. Beaseley would change his pose, which for longer
studies took about twenty minutes. Everyone seemed to get good results
when Mr. Beaseley was posing. He lent himself especially to charcoal drawings
and to those using graphite sticks. Mr. Beasely would take a break with
the rest of us, out in the hallway." . January 2004--end

- Jewett Campbell for painting and drawing. Studied with Hans Hoffman, Provincetown, MA.
Sadly deceased.
- March 2002-Campbell,
B. Jewett, my painting teacher, also a photographer,
appears in VCU,
Virginia Commonwealth University Index of Faculty-
- This is the html version of the file http://www.vcu.edu/bulletins/upp/989/facindex.pdf.
-
- Jewett Campbell had studied under Hans Hofmann and taught me about push
and pull in painting, about focusing in on a subject, and about color.
Jewett Campbell himself studied painting under Hans
Hofmann (http://www.hanshofmann.org/) and learned about push and
pull and much more, which in turn, Jewett passed on into his own paintings
and gave this knowledge to his art students with enthusiasm. Jim Bumgardner
had also studied under Hans Hoffman. So I was very lucky to get second
hand Hofmann lessons and insights from both Bumgardner and Campbell. I
remember Jewett Campbell's great smile and his zest for life and his great
sense of humour. Jewett's studio full of wonder and life, he made beautiful
drawings and he and Jeanne had filled their home with art and books, but
also with friends. The Campbell's house came with an adjacent bamboo grove
and pond in which his students and his family swam. I also remember the
wonderful black and white photographs that Jewett had taken of his wife
Jeanne. I remember his full and generous art. Jewett Campbell took
a bunch of students to New York City; including Dennis Martin and myself.
I was in the group. Jewett introduced me to Richard Bellamy, who
I got to know and continued to show him slides of my work even after I
left RPI [VCU] and went on to UNCG; Richard Bellamy sent me on to
Mr. Harris of the OK Harris Gallery, and he offered me a show of
my sculpture in 1969, but I moved to Toronto, Canada the following year
and was unable to take him up on the offer. Jim Bumgardner was also good
friends with Dick Bellamy. Richard ( Dick) Bellamy ran the Green Gallery.

during the late 1940s, became a cornerstone of the School of the Arts at
what now is Virginia Commonwealth University.Mr. Campbell, who retired
in 1982 as a VCU professor of painting and printmaking, died Sunday after
a long illness. He was 86 and lived in Richmond. A native of Hoboken, N.J.,
he studied at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City.
-
- After a five-year stint traveling on freighters off South America,
he moved to Richmond. He landed a job as The Jefferson Hotel's assistant
auditor and painted in his spare time. Mr. Campbell exhibited his work
for the first time at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in 1941. He joined
the Navy after Pearl Harbor and drew sketches of the invasion of Sicily
from a landing craft. In 1946, Mr. Campbell was named to a senior artist
fellowship at the Virginia Museum, and two years later he began working
for RPI.His artistic style evolved over the years from a restrained romanticism
through degrees of abstraction to an austere, minimalist geometric phase
of large, imposing paintings that explored the relationships of a few geometric
forms. One of his best-known works was a series titled "The Triumph
of the Egg," painted for a 1974 show. The paintings depicted surrealistic
eggs painted against a sky, whose color and nature changed through the
progression of canvases until the final painting, in which an egg was enshrined
on a pedestal before a Greek temple. The shy, blond art professor required
more than 10 years to overcome his stage fright before teaching a class.
He helped establish several artist-faculty members at VCU, including James
Bumgardner, Bernard Martin and Richard Kevorkian.
-
- In 1985, Gov. Charles S. Robb gave him an Award for the Arts in painting.
Mr. Campbell, who was a founder of the Richmond Artists Association, also
had taught at the University of Richmond and Virginia Union University.
Survivors include his wife, Jeanne Begien Campbell, and a daughter, Constance
B. Campbell of Richmond. His memorial service will be Wednesday at 11 a.m.
at St. James's Episcopal Church.

- Richard Carlyon Obituary -NEW:
on this site since: February 10, 2006,
- Richard Carlyon, 75, artist, passed away on January 20, 2006 following
a courageous battle against cancer. He is survived by his wife of 44 years,
Eleanor Rufty; son, Jason Anderson Carlyon; daughter-in-law, Cheryl Carlyon;
sisters, Nancy C. Millet of North Port, Florida, and Marcia Whitt of Gloucester,
Virginia; and a multitude of extended family and friends. Richard Carlyon
was an extraordinary man. He was a devoted husband and father, esteemed
artist, and beloved teacher. Dick was adored by a large extended family,
a community of artists, and thousands of students that he encouraged to
paint, draw, sculpt, and dance. He was born October 1, 1930 in Dunkirk,
N.Y. He received a BFA in Fine Arts in 1953 and an MFA in 1963, both from
Richmond Professional Institute. Richard Carlyon was professor emeritus
of Virginia Commonwealth University's School of the Arts. He retired in
1996 after a long and successful career of more than 40 years at both VCU
and RPI, where he taught courses in the areas of painting, art history,
communication arts, dance, and sculpture. Carlyon was a highly respected
artist whose work has been shown regionally and nationally both in solo
and group exhibitions. His most recent show, "Selected Drawings and
Paintings by Richard Carlyon" was on view at the Reynolds Gallery
in Richmond, from November through December 2005. He traveled as an invited
speaker to approximately 50 different communities to lecture on various
aspects of contemporary American art. Throughout his career, Carlyon received
numerous awards and honors, including the Distinguished Teaching of Art
Award from the College Art Association for America in 1993, the Theresa
Pollack Prize for Excellence in the Arts in 2001, and the Award for Excellence
in Teaching, Research, and Service from the VCU School of the Arts in 1987.
He also received three professional fellowships from the Virginia Museum
of Fine Arts in painting, drawing, and video, and a fellowship from the
Virginia Commission for the Arts in drawing. In December 2005, he was awarded
VCU's highest honor, the Presidential Medallion, given for extraordinary
achievement in learning and commitment to the mission of the university.
A memorial service will be held Wednesday, January 25 at 3 p.m. at Second
Presbyterian Church, 5 North 5th Street. In lieu of flowers, donations

- Richard Carlyon, longtime VCU art professor, dies
- He taught for more than 40 years, earned Presidential Medallion
-
- BY PETE HUMES
- TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER
- Jan 23, 2006
-
- Richard Carlyon's father was a plumber, so Mr. Carlyon tackled the
job of teaching art like any other blue-collar task.
- At Richmond Professional Institute, where he started teaching in 1955,
he worked a full day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. He punched the clock and collected
a paycheck.
- He continued to teach for more than 40 years, encouraging thousands
of students and garnering many honors at what became Virginia Commonwealth
University's School of the Arts, where he retired in 1996 and was a professor
emeritus.
- Mr. Carlyon died Friday after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was
75.
- Never one to go stagnant, Mr. Carlyon saw the need to evolve as the'50s
became the'60s, and the art world became less cut and dried.
- "I had to keep abreast of what was going on," he said during
a 2005 interview with The Times-Dispatch. "That was very hard to do
in Richmond, Virginia."
- Instead of fleeing for a more bustling art metropolis, Mr. Carlyon
chose to stay put.
- He continued teaching as RPI became VCU. Through the years, he remained
relevant and often groundbreaking in the fickle field of visual art.
- And every step of the way, he made sure Richmond came along for the
ride.
- "Richard was a legend," said Joe Seipel, VCU's senior associate
dean for student affairs. "Everything he did was interesting and surprising."
- Born in Dunkirk, N.Y., in 1930, Mr. Carlyon came to Virginia in 1950
to study art at RPI. He received a bachelor's degree in fine arts in 1953
and a master's degree in 1963. He retired after more than four decades
of teaching painting, art history, communication arts, dance and sculpture.
-
- Throughout his career, Mr. Carlyon received many honors and awards,
including the Theresa Pollack Prize for Excellence in the Arts in 2001
and the Distinguished Teaching of Art Award from the College Art Association
of America in 1993.
- In December 2005, he was awarded VCU's highest honor, the Presidential
Medallion, given for extraordinary achievement in learning and in recognition
for his commitment to the mission of the university.
- "Richard is part of the fabric of the VCU School of the Arts,"
said Seipel. "He will be desperately missed."
- Friends remember Mr. Carlyon for his lively sense of humor, his enduring
curiosity about life and his tremendous grasp of the history of art.
- "There was nobody like him," said Ashley Kistler, curator
of the Visual Arts Center of Richmond. "All the superlatives you can
imagine, they all apply to Richard."
- Choreographer Chris Burnside remembered his generosity.
- "It was overwhelming how generous he was," Burnside said.
"He encouraged so many different artists."
- Bev Reynolds hosted Mr. Carlyon's most recent show, "Selected
Drawings and Paintings" at the Reynolds Gallery from November to December
of last year.
- "He was the personification of cool," said Reynolds, "a
brilliant mind and a captivating wit who inspired students as well as an
entire artistic community."
- As recently as last month, Mr. Carlyon was still asking some big questions.
- "People say well, 'What is art?'" he said. "I say it's
our job to figure that out. We know what it was. We know what it used to
be. It was magnificent wasn't it? But what are we going to do with it now?"
- Survivors include his wife of 44 years, Eleanor Rufty; a son, Jason
Anderson Carlyon of Lexington, Ky.; and two sisters, Nancy C. Millet of
North Port, Fla. and Marcia Whitt of Gloucester County.
- A memorial service will be held Wednesday at 3 p.m. at Second Presbyterian
Church, 5 N. 5th Street.

- Finally on February 9, 2004, I was able to speak
to Eleanor RUFTY, wife of Richard Carlyon and artist, and then to
my great teacher, Richard himself. Eleanor told me that they have a son
who is Dr. Jason Carlyon. What a thrill. After all these years to speak
within days to both Jim Bumgardner and Richard Carlyon. Richard talked
about once going into a show of mine at Salander/O'Rielly's in New York,
looking at the painting and thought they were magic and elysian or avulia?,
wasn't sure he liked them, then saying he knew a Carol Sutton to the person
at the desk, but then she told him Carol wasn't from the south. {wrong
and right} I am from the north now, Canada, but I was born and raised in
Norfolk, Virginia, definitely the south. Richard talked about his new show
in 2002 at the 1708 Gallery which was a sell out, except for the
videos. Richard talked about how people did not like noise and did not
get the videos. We talked also about how people fail to get collage as
well. Richard was happily setting up a new studio. He was as sharp, bright,
animated, funny as ever. What a thrill for me to make contact after all
these years!. - notes by me. Feb 9 2004.

- QUOTE: "Richard Carlyon drowned his sorrow in an early morning
beer.
- What else was there to do after getting fired on your first day?
- Traffic in Columbus Circle was a mess. When it finally got moving,
he was already late. Carlyon's boss stood in front of the time clock and
turned him right around. It felt like the end of the world for a twenty
something kid in New York City.
- That evening at his apartment, Carlyon watched the day's gridlock on
the news. He saw himself snarled in traffic, racing to save his job. Then
he saw what caused the backup: an enormous dead whale on a flatbed truck.
- In his rush, Carlyon was oblivious to the beached monster winding its
way downtown.
- But that was more than 50 years ago. Today, the 75-year-old Carlyon
is a master at paying attention. Seeing things that other people don't
is what makes him a good artist. Getting others to do the same is what
made him a great teacher.
- "My tendency is to try to live in the present," Carlyon said.
"You try to be alive to what presents itself, especially in dumb,
plain everyday circumstances."
- Dick Carlyon is a godfather of the Richmond arts community. He began
teaching in 1955 at Richmond Professional Institute (it became Virginia
Commonwealth University in 1968).
- In the decades that followed, he encouraged thousands of young artists
to paint, sculpt, draw and dance. He survived pop, post modernism, conceptual
and performance art.
- Even today, as the 21st-century VCU arts program earns national accolades,
professor emeritus Carlyon remains more than relevant.
- Many argue that he's always been a few steps ahead.".-----END

- OBIT of Arthur O. Biehl, artist, dies at 77
-
- BY ELLEN ROBERTSON
- TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER
- Apr 7, 2004
-
- When artist Arthur Oliver Biehl was growing up in Norfolk, he liked
to try to copy the illustrations in his father's collection of old books
about nature - right in the books.
- As he grew up, he graduated to more sophisticated media. During a stint
with the Navy Signal Corps in the Far East during World War II, he did
watercolor paintings of Navy personnel and of his destroyer escort's ports
of call. And he went on to become an internationally acclaimed artist.
- Mr. Biehl, who spent 21 years as a professor in the Virginia Commonwealth
University department of communications arts and design, died Saturday
at his home in Venice, Fla., after a five-year bout with cancer. He was
77.
- He came to Richmond after the war and earned a bachelor's degree at
Richmond Professional Institute, now VCU, where he then taught for 21 years
until 1974. He served as interim chairman of the department in the early
1970s. He was also a commercial designer and a painter.
- "Art was a mentor to me during those first years of my teaching
career, discussing his teaching philosophy and methodology and sharing
his class projects," said Chuck Scalin, former assistant chairman
and professor in the department.
- "After he retired in 1974 and left Richmond and until last Christmas,"
said Scalin, "my wife and I had always received yearly holiday cards
from him accompanied by wonderful reproductions of his new paintings.
- "Art was not only a masterful designer but was also an accomplished
painter whose skillfully executed paintings were carried by galleries in
New York, Florida and in Europe."
- In Richmond, his work appeared principally at the Virginia Museum of
Fine Arts and shows at the University of Richmond. In 1965, he won a national
award for his seagull art that became the logo for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Tunnel.
- After leaving VCU, he devoted his life to painting. Until 1985, he
lived in Mallorca, Spain, "in a house on the side of a mountain overlooking
the Mediterranean. That was 11 years of heaven," said his companion
of 44 years, Richard Porter.
- During this period, Mr. Biehl was known for "very minutely detailed
landscapes," Porter said.
- He returned to the United States in 1985, settling in Venice, Fla.,
and continued to paint. His style was one of contemporary photo-realism.
- "He was best-known for his waves and water, bicycles and a lot
of open windows where you can look in. He very seldom painted people. He
liked his paintings to feel like a person had just passed through,"
Porter said.
- Mr. Biehl's paintings were found in art collections, including those
of Malcolm S. Forbes, Sidney and Frances Lewis, the Virginia Museum of
Fine Arts, Maurice Tempelsman of New York and the Ministry of Tourism of
the Canary Islands.
- His work had been reviewed in publications such as the Washington Post,
the Philadelphia Inquirer, the New York Times Book Review and Time magazine.
- A lover of travel, he kept a wall map dotted with pushpins marking
his global excursions from Europe to Africa, where he took photos that
provided inspiration for more paintings when he returned home, Porter said.
- Survivors include a sister, Katherine Fisher of Marblehead, Mass.
- No funeral is planned. A dinner gathering of friends will be held later
in Venice, Fla.
- Staff writer Jenifer V. Buckman contributed to this obituary.
