Dear Readers,

Welcome to the first issue of Glance: A Publication

for the CCA Community. Our main feature profiles six

notable alumni. With nearly one hundred years

of graduating classes, it was extremely difficult to

choose from the thousands of CCA alums around

the world. In the end we selected representatives

from a variety of disciplines who are at different

stages of their careers—from recent graduates

to seasoned professionals. We plan to make these

profiles a regular feature of Glance.

As many of you know, in August we began calling

the college by a new name: California College

of the Arts. Understandably, this has caused some

concern that the college might be abandoning

its Arts and Crafts movement heritage. We asked

Professor Barry Katz to give us a historical and

cultural perspective on the term “arts and crafts.”

He writes about the movement’s impassioned

beginnings and why its message of unity in the

arts may be even more relevant today.

We also have lots of news to share. The “In the

News” section gives brief updates on new schol-

arships and other generous gifts to the college,

and introduces some new faculty.

Sadly, this year we lost many good friends of the

college: Robert Bolman, Carl Jennings, Wolfgang

Lederer, Walter Menrath, Gertrude Schaufel, and

Dean Snyder, among them. This issue of Glance

includes tributes to these important members of

the CCA community.

Our next issue of Glance will be mailed in spring

2004. Meanwhile, we welcome your comments and

suggestions. Please email us at [email protected]

or write to CCA Communications Department, 1111

Eighth Street, San Francisco, CA 94107.

Sincerely,

Chris Bliss

California College of the Arts: An Idea Whose Time Has Come

by Barry Katz

Time Has ComeTime Has ComeTime Has Come

It is just over a hundred years since William Morris closed his eyes for the last time on a world that seemed to have

spun dreadfully out of control. The new regime of industrial mass

production had established itself; cheap, factory-made products

were flooding the markets; and a tradition of craftsmanship was

being obliterated before his eyes. “Think of it!” he thundered. “Is

it all to end in a counting-house on the top of a cinder-heap?”

In 1861, in the first convincing attempt to assert the dignity of the

“lesser arts” against the increasingly esoteric fine arts on the one

hand, and the tyranny of the machine on the other, Morris and his

friends founded the firm of Morris, Marshall, and Faulkner, Fine Arts

Workmen—an event that the historian Nikolaus Pevsner rightly

called “the beginning of a new era in Western Art.” Over the centuries,

the status of the crafts had declined in proportion to the elevation

of the “beaux arts.” The crafts were now threatened with outright

extinction by the advent of the factory system. Through the small-

scale production of furniture pieces, glass- and metalwares, decorative

fabrics, and wallpaper designs Morris and his fellow reformers sought

nothing less than to restore the lost unity of the arts.

But there was a social dimension to their campaign on behalf of craft

and the craftsman. By fragmenting the manufacture of products,

the industrial division of labor also fragmented the humanity of the

producer. Shoddy work and demoralized, exploited workers were

merely two sides of the same coin, for beauty, Morris always insisted,

is nothing else but “the expression by man of his pleasure in labor.”

It was this commitment both to art and to the artisan that defined

what the English bookbinder T. J. Cobden-Sanderson would soon

christen the “Arts-and-Crafts Movement.”

Page 5: Glance Fall 2003

Even in the 1880s and 1890s, however, this position

was becoming increasingly untenable. The system

of industrial mass production, whatever its human

and aesthetic costs, had proven itself terrifyingly

efficient at filling the homes of even the laboring

classes with an assortment of cheap goods that

would have been unimaginable in any previous

epoch. By contrast, the Century Guild, founded

in 1882 by A. H. Mackmurdo; the Art Workers’ Guild,

founded in 1884 by W. R. Lethaby; Walter Crane’s

Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society (1888); and even

the American outpost that would become known

as California College of Arts and Crafts (1907)

projected a craft ideal that seemed to repudiate the

industrial system at the moment of its near-global

triumph. As wealthy collectors vied for the honest,

sturdy, and outrageously expensive products of

these “utopian craftsmen,” Arts and Crafts steadily

devolved from an ethical ideal into a period style.

By 1915 C. R. Ashbee conceded in the privacy of his

journal that “We have taken a great social move-

ment and turned it into a tiresome little aristocracy

working with high skills for the very rich.”

This judgment is too harsh, however—in part be-

cause these tiny communities of cabinetmakers,

weavers, metalsmiths, bookbinders, and decorators

were hardly in a position to reverse the inexorable

tide of history and technology, in part because they

actually succeeded beyond their wildest imaginings.

discussing these issues today. But the fact remains

that his nightmarish view of modern technology

blinded him to its potential to liberate and not just

subjugate the arts.

In the age of Photoshop, Form-Z, and streaming

video, our challenge is neither to celebrate

nor repudiate the craft tradition but to redefine it.

We will always admire the elegance of a mortise-

and-tenon joint or a perfectly executed flat fell

seam, but how about a few hundred lines of lean,

flawless code? Or the seamless integration of text

and graphics in one of those rare websites through

which it is a pleasure to navigate? Should we look

for craftsmanship only in the finished product,

or must we learn to appreciate the model, the pro-

gram, or even the theory?

William Morris would not have known what to do

with these questions, and thus the Arts and Crafts

movement has plainly lost its edge. But the force of

its underlying demand is stronger than ever: the

unity of art and life.

At the heart of the belief system William Morris

imparted to his brethren was a simple but

revolutionary program:

• the unity of the fine and the applied arts and

their mutual dependency;

• an insistence upon simplicity of form,

propriety of ornament, and honesty of materials;

• the unshakable belief that art-making is a

social act and carries with it an ethical obligation.

It is at least arguable that this set of principles

framed all of the great twentieth-century debates,

from futurism and constructivism to the socially

engaged art of the 1960s and ’70s; from the Bauhaus

to postmodernism; from Jan Tschichold’s call for “a

new typography” in 1928 to the launching of Emigré

in 1984. Modern architecture was founded upon

these ideas. They are the basis of modern design.

Had William Morris been more measured in

his judgments, more temperate in his exhortations

on art under plutocracy, less dogmatic in his oft-

expressed “hatred of modern civilization,” he would

not have been William Morris, and we might not be

Craftsmanship and an understanding of cultural context have always been key to

the education offered at California College of the

Arts. These are values we have embraced in the

past and will continue to embody. In today’s

world, craft is art; the artificial boundaries be-

tween art, design, and craft that were so important

to the nineteenth-century academies no longer

exist. Our commitment to the unity of the arts,

our curriculum’s reinforcement of craftsmanship,

and our continued support of community-based

arts programming are substantial evidence that

the college will continue to embrace the ideals

of the Arts and Crafts movement. In the past one

hundred years, the understanding of the words

From the SOFA (International Exposition of Sculpture

Objects and Functional Art) Chicago 2003 catalog

“arts and crafts” has clearly changed. Moreover,

contemporary craft is now firmly part of the most

progressive work in art, design, and architecture.

And the visual, performing, and literary arts

are now intersecting in the most productive and

powerful ways. By placing our students and faculty

at the heart of these intersections, we will continue

to provide them with the very best of what an

education in the arts, and an education through

the arts, can offer.

hundred children’s books, including the Caldecott

Honor Award–winning Strega Nona. He still works

seven days a week.

Why children’s books? DePaola says the books he

had as a child were the only place—besides

the world of Walt Disney—where he saw artwork.

Art was not in his school curriculum, and there

were no museums in Meriden. Today, he is proud

that his books touch the hearts of thousands of

people. It’s clear that CCA has left its own mark on

dePaola’s heart. A protégé of Wolfgang Lederer,

dePaola credits Lederer with giving him the freedom

to express himself in a noncommercial way, and

for setting up a tutorial at Tamalpais Press where

dePaola set type one day a week. DePaola recalls

Lederer saying, “I can’t teach you a thing about

illustration, but I can teach you about type and

design of books.” The two remained friends up

until Lederer’s death this year. “CCA refined my

work and is totally responsible for my success,”

dePaola says.

When Gary Hutton found himself working at a mall

after graduating from UC Davis with a degree in

fine arts, he decided it was time to go back to school.

He had always loved interiors, and CCA seemed like

the natural choice. Early training came through

work at the famed Scalamandré textiles showroom

and an internship at Gump’s. For a while, Hutton

held two part-time jobs to get by. Eventually he

became a manager at the C. J. Welch showroom and

then a designer for Jerry Jansen at Orientations,

When he was four years old, Tomie dePaola wanted

to become a writer, an illustrator, and a tap dancer.

In his long and varied career, dePaola has done all of

that and more. He is a prolific author of some two

where he worked on the restaurant Today’s, on

Union Square. It was “the place to lunch,” Hutton

recalls. After his stint at Orientations, he worked

briefly in the Macy’s interior design studio.

Disliking the corporate structure, he left to open

his own firm in 1980.

Nellie King Solomon says, “Art chooses you, you

don’t choose art.” Initially drawn to architecture,

she studied at Cooper Union, then worked in

architecture in Barcelona and New York. She is now

known for large paintings created with her

own handmade tools on heavy mill Mylar. She

started by using the lid of a gesso jar to stamp

a dot; the dot was to slow her down, to represent

stillness rather than the travel implicit in a line.

and her return to California, Solomon knew she

in the Concepts category and caught the eye of Joe

Rosa, a curator at SFMOMA, who selected it for the

exhibition Body Design, on view from November

2002 through March 2003. What was Petrizzi’s

original assignment? Tasked to create something

that would work as both science and fashion, some-

thing conceptual yet anchored in reality, at first he

wanted to create a diving suit with an embedded

gill. Investigating this possibility, he found that

the gill required a higher volume of water than was

practical. But out of this came Aquaticus, a diving

scooter with an embedded gill. The gill not only

extracts oxygen from the water to feed the fuel cell

power source, it also supplies oxygen to the diver,

who is pulled along behind the device.

During his second to last semester, Petrizzi took

a course with Yves Béhar, head of San Francisco’s

fuseproject. An internship there turned into a full-

time job. At fuseproject, Petrizzi juggles multiple

projects for clients such as BMW, Birkenstock, and

Nike. He also designs cosmetics packaging, perfume

bottles, and other consumer products.

Geoffrey Petrizzi enjoys the unusual distinction

of seeing his senior thesis project exhibited at the

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Two years

after graduating, Petrizzi submitted his project,

Aquaticus—an underwater diving scooter—to ID

Magazine. His piece won a Design Distinction award

wanted to focus on the wilderness, environment,

and values of the West. Initially creating pieces

made from plaster that she called “misbehaving

architecture,” in which a wall would erupt and

buckle, she then shifted to paint to explore these

spatial disturbances. The simple gesture of the dot

grew into large canvases, such as Treasure Island

Westbound, which began with one dot from the head

of a pin and became an 8´ x 12´ landscape in her

Great West series. In her artist statement, Solomon

says, “The paintings are experiences of the great

western landscapes, interior and exterior terrain,

the shock of unabsorbed events. California is a place

where we are caught off guard, a place of gambling,

chance, and change. I paint it.” To see her work,

In 1991 Anthony Discenza moved from New Jersey to

California, where his friend and fellow video maker,

Torsten Burns, was a student at the San Francisco

Art Institute. The two formed a collaborative, the

Halflifers; their works have screened in New York

City at the Museum of Modern Art and the New

York Video Festival; in the Bay Area at the Pacific

Anthony Discenza

Film Archive; and at festivals around the world.

Already a working artist, Discenza decided to

complete his art education and pursue an MFA at

California College of the Arts. While still a grad

student, his video work Phosphorescence was selected

for the 2000 Whitney Biennial. Discenza says, “I’m

interested in revealing the world of images around

us as a very ‘real’ space—one which shapes our

world view in all sorts of potent but invisible

ways.”

When he was chosen for the Whitney Biennial,

Discenza commented that it was “a great honor,

but I have to take it with a grain of salt. I don’t

want to build up my expectations about what it’s

going to mean.” Today, he balances his artwork

with part-time work as a paralegal to help pay

the bills. It’s a challenge familiar to many Bay

Area artists. Discenza has had solo shows in San

Francisco at Hosfelt Gallery and jennjoy gallery

and has participated in numerous group shows.

His work November is featured in Reprocessing

Information, a group show at SFMOMA presenting

video works that explore information as land-

scape and medium. The show runs through

Kitchen, she was happy to accept—in part because

she grew up in Seattle and has friends and family

there. But, she stresses, she would never take a job

just based on location. She chose Digital Kitchen

because their work seemed the most exciting.

“Motion design allows you to combine elements of

the senses that strike a chord with people,” Daniels

says. At Digital Kitchen, her current projects include

a title sequence and a project for an investment

company. As she goes through the transition of

learning to design for corporate clients, not just for

herself, Digital Kitchen’s varied clientele keeps her

work life interesting. “Learning to think in motion

has been a fun challenge,” she says.

As she neared graduation, Lindsay Daniels didn’t

know where she would end up. She sent her

portfolio to four motion design firms, researching

and applying to companies whose work she

admired. With a letter of recommendation from

Dean of Design Michael Vanderbyl and a summer

2002 internship at Landor Associates under her belt,

she visited firms in Los Angeles, New York City,

and Seattle. When the job offer came from Digital

College Receives $5 Million Gift for Center for Art and Public Life

In May 2003, California College of the Arts re-

ceived a $5 million gift to establish an endowed

fund to support the Center for Art and Public

Life. The donation is the largest single gift in the

college’s ninety-six-year history and was given

by a longtime trustee of the college who wishes

to remain anonymous.

Established in 1998, the Center for Art and

Public Life creates community partnerships based

on creative practice that serve the CCA com-

munity and the diverse populations of Oakland

and San Francisco. Arts education partners

include Oakland public schools Arts Far West and

Lockwood Elementary School, and San Francisco

public school Enola D. Maxwell Middle School

of the Arts. For CCA students, the Center offers

service learning opportunities through programs

such as Artists for Community, Community Stu-

dent Fellows, and the Alternative Spring Break trip.

The Center also offers arts education training and

curriculum development for public school teachers.

The Center plays a pivotal role in implementing

CCA’s diversity plan. In addition to its significant

programs in the areas of community partnerships,

fellowships, and teacher training, the Center has

many initiatives planned for the 2003–4 academic

year, including administering the new diversity

and community studies curriculum and launching

a new art teacher precredential program.

Unique among art colleges in its commitment

to community practice, California College of the

Arts is the only art college invited to participate

in The James Irvine Foundation’s Campus Diver-

sity Initiative and to receive funding from the

Corporation for National and Community Service’s

Learn and Serve America program.

President Michael S. Roth commented, “This

extraordinary gift not only validates the work

of the Center and assures its future, but also

underscores the importance of the arts in the

community. One of our primary goals is to

demonstrate that successful art practice can

take many forms. By identifying this goal

and developing the infrastructure and programs

to achieve it—namely the Center for Art and

Public Life—the college has undertaken a leader-

ship role in defining the artist-as-citizen as a

critical issue in contemporary studio practice.

We are extremely grateful to our donor for

this generous act, which demonstrates a firm

belief in this model of art education.”

Faculty Appointments

There have been a number of moves and changes

among the current CCA faculty and some new

hires. Matthew Higgs, curator at the CCA Wattis

Institute, and Lydia Matthews, chair of the MA

Program in Visual Criticism, are co-chairs of the

MFA Program in Fine Arts. Stephen Goldstine,

who has stepped down as chair of this program,

continues his great work with the graduate stu-

dents in a new position as Dennis Leon Professor

of Fine Arts. Ann Joslin Williams is serving as

chair of the MFA Program in Writing for the

2003–4 academic year during John Laskey’s sab-

batical. Mark Fox is filling in as chair of Graphic

Design during Leslie Becker’s sabbatical this year.

New hires include Tina Takemoto and Matthew

Jackson (who begins in the 2004–5 academic

year) in the Visual Studies Program and Joseph

Lease and Juvenal Acosta in the Creative Writing

Program. Emily McVarish and Eric Heiman

have been promoted to assistant professor in the

Graphic Design Program. Dugald Stermer, chair

of Illustration, and Steven Holt, chair of

Industrial Design, have both been designated

distinguished professors.

Gifts and Grants

CCA donors were exceptionally generous over the

spring and summer months, and we thank them

for their thoughtful support. In addition to the

incredible $5 million anonymous gift featured in

this issue, California College of the Arts received

the following major gifts:

Trustee Ronald Wornick and his wife, Anita, made

a wonderfully generous gift of $500,000 to establish

the Ronald Wornick Distinguished Visiting Pro-

fessor of Wood Arts. The goal of this new endowed

fund is to enrich the CCA academic experience by

bringing a celebrated artist to teach as a visiting

professor each year. The visiting professorship will

enhance the curriculum through the use of wood as

a creative medium for exploration, expression, and

aesthetic functionality. Artists invited through this

program will have made a significant contribution

to one or more of the studio fields and will see the

opportunity to work and teach in wood as a vehicle

for deepening and broadening their professional

life. Look for a feature article on the Wornick Dis-

tinguished Visiting Professor in the next issue

of Glance.

Alumna Emily Schwilke (AB 1936) made a generous

provision for CCA in her estate plans. Upon her

passing in May of this year, the college received

$50,000 to support the academic program. We

are grateful to Mrs. Schwilke and her family for

remembering the school with such a thoughtful

gift in support of our mission.

Two special gifts were made in memory of beloved

members of the CCA community who passed away

recently. Elizabeth Schaufel made a gift of $25,000

to the Gertrude Schaufel Memorial Scholarship

established in memory of her mother, and Lorenz

and Thomas Menrath gave $25,000 to establish

the Walter J. Menrath Scholarship in honor of

their father. Both gifts create endowments that

provide critical financial aid to gifted students

who otherwise could not afford to attend CCA.

The college received a generous grant of $46,000

from the Grants for the Arts/Hotel Tax Fund to

support the presentation of our San Francisco–

based public programs in 2003–4.

The Creative Work Fund awarded the CCA Center

for Art and Public Life a $35,000 grant to support

“Pieces of Cloth, Pieces of Culture: Tongan Tapa

Cloth,” a yearlong collaboration between the Center;

sociocultural anthropologist Ping-Ann Addo, the

Center’s 2003–4 scholar in residence; and lead art-

ist Siu Tuita of Oakland’s ‘Otufelenite Tongan

Community Nonprofit Organization. Activities in-

cluding lectures, demonstrations, and an exhibition

will coincide with the creation of a 15 x 15 foot tapa

cloth, the first of its kind made in the traditional

island manner in the continental United States.

The LEF Foundation, a generous and longtime

funder of the college, awarded $10,000 to the

CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts for its

exhibition Warped Space. In addition, the Jumex

Collection, a new donor to the college, awarded the

Wattis Institute $8,000 to assist with publication

of the catalog accompanying the exhibition Baja to

Vancouver: The West Coast and Contemporary Art.

Finally, the college extends its thanks to Nancy

S. and R. Patrick Forster, Dorothy and George

Saxe, and Mr. C. David Robinson FAIA and

Mary L. Robinson for their generous trustee

unrestricted gifts.

Student Callers Make Telefund a Success

Each spring, California College of the Arts recruits

a group of talented and enthusiastic students to

phone our alumni and friends asking for gifts in

support of the Annual Fund. This effort provides

crucial funding for student scholarships, the

libraries, computer labs, and materials and supplies.

These are the college’s core needs, and we depend

on the generosity of our alumni and friends to help

maintain an excellent teaching environment.

Thanks to student callers, the telefund is one of

our most effective fundraising programs. During

spring break 2003, students worked evenings and

weekends in Macky Hall and raised more than

$20,000 for the college. Our callers are recruited

from all majors, and many are first-year students

who are looking for ways to connect with alumni.

These are not your typical telefund calls. Students

and alumni often enjoy long conversations as

alumni share their experience in professional

practice and callers describe student life today.

Amanda Heikkinen, who will graduate with a BFA

in sculpture in December 2003, says, “The tele-

fund really wasn’t intimidating because you are

talking to people with whom you have something

in common. It was a great experience, which is

why I have done it two years in a row.”

We have also received kind messages from alumni,

thanking us for involving students in the effort.

Diane Oles (BFA 1984, interior architecture) writes,

“I have a tremendous amount of admiration for the

direction the school has taken since I graduated, so

when I received a call from a student, I was more

than happy to give back to the college.”

This special campaign will run each March during

spring break. If you receive a call, please take a

moment to talk to a student. Your support will

have a meaningful impact at the school, and the

conversation alone can be a very positive experience

for our students. If you have questions about the

CCA telefund, please contact Ashley Lomery in the

Advancement Office at 510.594.3662.

Robert H. Bolman

Trustee Emeritus Robert H. Bolman died on March

12, 2003. He was ninety-seven. Bolman joined

the college’s Board of Trustees in 1958. He served

on both the Development and Audit and Finance

Committees, and was board chair from 1965 to 1968.

In 1970, on his retirement from the Board, he was

elected trustee emeritus, an honorary title bestowed

on only a handful of trustees. Bolman had a dis-

tinguished career in banking and management

consulting and an impressive record of service with

civic organizations including the United Fund, the

World Affairs Council, and as trustee of the Oakland

Museum. His survivors include his wife, Edith, and

daughters Gay Stern and Sylvia Bolman Fones.

Carl Jennings Carl Jennings died on May 13, 2003, at the age

of ninety-three. A third-generation metal crafts-

person, he had worked in iron for more than

seventy years. After graduating from the college

in 1934, he worked in a number of shops before

opening El Diablo Forge in Lafayette. In 1969 he

moved his studio to Sonoma. Perhaps his finest

masterpiece is his Sonoma home, which he and

his late wife, Elizabeth, designed and constructed,

crafting every detail down to the nails and

screws. During his long and distinguished career,

Jennings was the recipient of numerous honors

and awards, including induction into the College

of Fellows by the American Crafts Council in

1988. A retrospective exhibition of his work was

held at the National Ornamental Metal Museum

in Memphis in 1990.

Wolfgang Lederer

Renowned designer, illustrator, and educator

Wolfgang Lederer died on May 13, 2003. He was

ninety-one. As a design practitioner and teach-

er for more than sixty years, Lederer defined and

shaped design practice in the Bay Area and on

the West Coast. He was appointed director of the

CCA School of Design in 1950. After his retire-

ment in 1980, he was designated professor emeritus.

He was active professionally almost to the end,

with a retrospective exhibition in 2000 at the San

Francisco Center for the Book and a prize for

excellence in typography from the California Book

Club in 2001. Lederer is survived by his wife of

Walter Menrath Walter Menrath died on July 13, 2003. He was eighty-

two and had served on the faculty for thirty-nine

years, teaching courses in political sociology, art and

cultural history, and philosophy. He taught until

two months before his death. He leaves Maryellen

Himell, loving companion and life partner of

twenty-nine years; Nina Menrath, the mother of

his children, to whom he was married from 1955

to 1968 and with whom he remained close friends;

sons Lorenz and Thomas; daughters-in-law

Margaret Menrath and Kathryn McGill; and grand-

daughters Elizabeth and Madeline Menrath. A

celebration of Menrath’s life and career took place

an annual award in the humanities and sciences

for undergraduates. Donations may be sent to the

CCA Advancement Office, 5212 Broadway,

passed away on April 20 at the age of eighty-two.

Generations of students, faculty, and staff benefited

community, known especially for his teaching and

first-year student.

Little Smothering for Gertrude

Someone dies who you liked a great deal

but didn’t know well: a little smothering where

the almost transparent flame

vanishes, is swallowed by a pocket

of smoke, forming into a pocket

of smoke—its gray flame bent down

inside—no longer sensing the smallest

needs, not now capable of being the perfect

plume from nowhere, the quiet radiance for one

second more—having slipped as the black seal

down ... down for a minute, many minutes,

more minutes than one cares to count.
