We are excited to present three fantastic magazine covers to highlight the diverse talents of our alumni artists: The delicate details of graduate student Maddie Hinrich’s oil painting and embroidery captivate the imagination; a sense of scale is revealed as Judith Braun creates a large wall drawing using only her fingers dipped in ground charcoal; and Aaron Feinberg’s visceral photo of a Hawaiian wave’s explosion is arresting and powerful.
Stunning details of an 8-foot-tall bronze sculpture of St. John the Baptist by Lorenzo Ghiberti captivate visitors to Orsanmichele, a 14th century church in Florence, and is part of the research focus of Amy Bloch, an associate professor of art history. Professor Bloch’s book, Gates of Paradise, explores Ghiberti’s artistic interpretations of Old Testament narratives.
