“I’m in love,” says Keith Morrison as he describes hisfeelings about Tyler School of Art. Morrison, adistinguished artist and art educator, became Deanof Tyler School of Art on July 1, 2005.

Morrison relocated to Philadelphia from SanFrancisco, where he was dean of the College ofCreative Arts at San Francisco State University.Morrison describes Tyler as “one of the great artschools in America.”

“I love the fact that Tyler is proud of itself,” saysMorrison. “It is nurturing to artists with a wonderfulapproach to art education that is grounded, notfaddish.”

In announcing Tyler’s new dean, Temple PresidentDavid Adamany said, “Keith Morrison’s

accomplishments as an artist, curator, scholar, andeducational administrator make him the ideal personto lead Temple’s Tyler School of Art as it preparesto relocate into a new, world-class, $75 millionfacility on our Main Campus in Philadelphia.”

Morrison’s introduction to Tyler included awelcoming event at President Adamany’s home onOctober 6, 2005. In November 2005, New YorkCity alumni welcomed Morrison at a reception atthe Modern, the restaurant adjacent to the Museumof Modern Art.

In addition to his post at San Francisco State,Morrison has been a teacher or administrator at theUniversity of Michigan, University of Maryland atCollege Park, University of Illinois at Chicago, FiskUniversity, DePaul University, and the SanFrancisco Art Institute.

On the move to Main Campus, Morrison says, “As Tyler assumes a more urban flavor, the BFAand MFA programs will be further intertwined withthe architecture program and the departments of arthistory and art education for a more collaborativeand stronger Tyler than we are now.”

Tyler students are equally excited about Morrison’sarrival. At a “Meet the Dean” event in October 2005in Presidents Hall on the Tyler Campus, hundreds ofstudents took advantage of their time with Morrisonto ask questions and voice their opinions.

Among his academic accomplishments, Morrisonled the San Francisco Art Institute through its firstmajor revision of undergraduate and graduateprograms in 15 years. At San Francisco State,Morrison redefined several academic programs andimproved others to national prominence, and hepromoted cultural exchanges between artists andscholars in the San Francisco Bay area and theircounterparts in Cuba, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Japan.

Morrison’s teaching experience includes courses indrawing, painting, lithography, art education,African-American art, and others. He has lectured atinstitutions such as the Getty Museum, theMetropolitan Museum of Art, and the SmithsonianInstitution. He has written essays for numerousexhibition catalogs and the popular press.

Greetings Alumni and Friends,

I am honored to lead the Tyler School of Art at Temple University. There aremany things that drew me to Tyler, including the upcoming move to Temple’sMain Campus and the opportunity to build a new home for the School,literally, from the ground up.

But my primary reason for coming to Tyler was its distinction. It seems as ifI’ve always known about the Tyler School of Art. Long before I considered apost at Tyler, I knew its reputation, a reputation built on the work of itsalumni. I’m happy to be a part of such a distinguished community.

I believe that no other institution is better suited to prepare students for thefundamental changes that they will face as artists, architects, art educators, andart historians. In Tyler’s 70 years, dramatic changes have occurred in the wayswe create and study art. Tyler’s world-class faculty will remain on the cuttingedge of technological, creative, and social innovations while maintaining theconcern for individual students that has characterized the School’s history.

Tyler merits a setting and space equal to its status. We are just beginning to lookat plans for the new building that will house our BFA and MFA programs atMain Campus. Renowned architect Carlos Jimenez is designing an unparalleledfacility with instructional and creative studios, exhibition spaces, galleries, andworkshops. The new building will boast the most advanced visual arts facilities inthe region.

As we embark on this period of great change, I will keep you informed ofTyler’s plans as they progress, but I am also eager to hear from you. You maycall my office at 215.782.2715, contact your favorite faculty member, or callour new director of alumni affairs, Greg Murphy, at 215.204.2363.

Best wishes,

Keith Morrison

P.S. Your next issue of Gestures will be in a new format, designed by NichelleNarcisi, a senior graphic arts and design major.

DEAN’S MESSAGE

ED PLIENINGERRETIRESAfter 36 years at Temple, and 31 years at Tyler School of Art, BusinessManager Ed Plieninger is hanging the “Gone Fishing” sign on his office doorpermanently.

And, going fishing he is. Plieninger is an avid fisher and has a second homenear Long Beach Island, New Jersey where he has enjoyed weekends away forthe last fourteen years.

But fishing is just the beginning. Plieninger also looks forward to fixing up theshore house, going to the gym, doing more volunteer work, and spending moretime with his family, including his wife Jeanne who is retiring on the same dayas Plieninger from her position as secretary in the Tyler Admissions office.

Plieninger’s education will not stop with retirement. His pet peeve all theseyears is that he never really understood calculus. He will be doing a self-studyin Algebra II through Calculus, just to brush up a bit.

Over the years, Plieninger worked for eight different Tyler Deans. His mostprecious memories are the times he helped students. His policy has alwaysbeen to drop whatever he is doing for a student. Plieninger considers theTyler students to be a huge extended family of sons and daughters and nieces and nephews.

Plieninger officially retires on July 31, 2006, and will continue to serve thestudents, faculty, and staff enthusiastically until then. He would love to hearfrom you; contact him at: ed.plieninger@temple.edu.

When Richard Cramer retired from the painting faculty in 2003, he knew that his relationshipwith Tyler School of Art was not over. After 37 years, he was determined to keep ties with thefaculty, staff, and, most of all, students and alumni who had become his second family.

In the spring of 2005, Cramer and his wife, Carol Markel, made a gesture to ensure that hissupport of Tyler art students and their work will continue for generations; they endowed theRichard Cramer Color Award in Painting.

“I worked at Tyler for a number of years, and I enjoyed the students, the faculty, and the wholeschool,” he said. “I wanted to do something because of the wonderful experience that I had. Iwanted to contribute something to reflect that.”

The Richard Cramer Color Award in Painting was initially funded by Jeff McMahon, BFA ’96,and other family, friends, and former students of Cramer in honor of his retirement. Cramermade a gift to endow the fund, which is given to a graduating painting student who has excelledin the use of color, to ensure that the prize will be awarded every year in perpetuity at Tyler.

On the eve of commencement, May 18, 2005, Cramer and Markel saw their award presented toEmily Erb, BFA ’05, at the School’s graduation awards ceremony.

“It’s very rewarding seeing a student receive recognition for their hard work and talent,” he says. “I definitely would encourage others to support scholarship and award funds. They honorstudents in a way that makes them feel that they have really achieved something.”

Cramer’s career at Tyler began in 1966. He had earned his MFA from the University of Wisconsinand was teaching painting at Elmira College when he was recruited to join Tyler’s faculty.

“I enjoyed my years at Tyler a great deal,” he recalls. “The students are very talented. Their naturalabilities made teaching interesting. I think they learned more from each other than they learnedfrom me!”

While his students may well have been learning from each other, Cramer’s charms and histeaching methods were not lost on anyone. In 1993, he was awarded Temple University’sprestigious Great Teacher Award, which included a $10,000 cash prize.

“Richard was one of the most perceptive, thoughtful, and encouraging faculty,” recalls formerstudent and current Assistant Dean for Admissions Carmina Cianciulli, BFA ’80. “His manuals oncolor and color theory continue to be an important part of each student’s education—I still refer tothem after almost thirty years. In addition, he would always keep in touch with alumni and wouldconstantly report all of their successes to his students. He really inspired us to achieve and believe.”

A celebrated artist as well as beloved teacher, Cramer is perhaps best known for his studies in theuse of color and his “Color Field Paintings,” which include the use of thousands of colors.

His work has been shown in scores of exhibitions at museums and galleries such as thePennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the J. Rosenthal Gallery in Chicago, and the Glasgow Schoolof Art. Recent solo exhibitions include those held at Space 504 and the Caelum Gallery in NewYork City, and at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.

Cramer’s paintings are held in dozens of private and public collections including the PhiladelphiaMuseum of Art, the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, and Merck & Co., Inc.

In April, Tyler student artwork took onnew proportions when it was installed vialarge-scale banners at “Art at the Walk.”

The “art” in “Art at the Walk” refers to 24banners created from Tyler student workthat now decorate Liberties Walk, acharming stretch of shops and eateriesdeveloped by Tower Investments at 1030-1040 North 2nd Street in the NorthernLiberties section of Philadelphia.

Hanging the banners was the culminationof a project that began in late 2004 whenTyler partnered with Temple alumnus Bart Blatstein (BA ’76) on this public artinitiative sponsored by Blatstein’scompany, Tower Investments.

The works represented in the banners wereselected from graduate and undergraduatestudents from all departments of Tyler in afaculty-juried competition in early 2005.

The opening reception for the project tookplace on April 1, 2005 when Tower hosted more than 100 Tyler students, faculty,alumni, and friends in their Northern Liberties office. The April 1 reception markedthe opening of an exhibit featuring the original works chosen for reproduction on the“Art at the Walk” banners as well as the opening of the Tower Investments Gallery, alarge exhibition space built into Tower’s headquarters.

“It has been an incredible opportunity for Tyler to have student work open thisbeautiful space in Northern Liberties and for our students to have their creations soprominently displayed on the Arts Walk,” beamed Acting Dean Hester Stinnettduring the reception.

“Bart is someone who knows that artneeds to be part of everyday life,” saidStinnett at the event. “This is the firsttime that Temple has had a partnershiplike this. I extend my sincerest thanks forgiving Tyler this opportunity.”

Tower Investments is also the developerfor the Temple-affiliated Avenue Northproject, now under construction at BroadStreet and Cecil B.

M ay 19, 2005 was a crystal clear day in Elkins Park as hundreds of students, parents, alumni, faculty, andfriends gathered on the lawn in front of Tyler Hall to witness the newly-conferred members of the Class of2005 receive their diplomas.

“Today is a day when many things change,” Acting Dean Hester Stinnett told the graduates. “Among them, your relationship with Tyler changes today as you join the ranks of over 6,000 alumni living and working allover the world.”

Stinnett proudly introduced one such alumnus, Simmie Knox, BFA ’70 and MFA ’72, as the ceremony’s guestspeaker. An acclaimed portrait artist whose subjects have included Roots author Alex Haley, Supreme CourtJustices Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Temple’s own Bill Cosby, Knox grabbed headlineslast year after painting the White House portraits of Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Knox returned to Tyler to share his wisdom and experience with those just beginning their careers in art.

“What would I like someone to say to me if I were graduating?” Mr. Knox began. “The things you must considerin becoming a good artist and a good person. To begin with, you must always evaluate yourself first. It allbegins with you. Second, understand your craft; know the principles of design, know color.

“Pay your bills on time,” he continued. “The financial decisions you make now will affect your future success.Pay off your student loans. Pay off your credit cards. That’s how you will get to finance your own studio orgallery. And, most importantly, believe in yourself. I have never known a successful person who has not failed.”

Equally as entertaining and inspirational was student speaker Rogelio Harris. A dual printmaking and arthistory major who was active in a number of student and community service activities, Harris took the stage towild applause. “We are finally here,” he said. “Today truly is the first day of the rest of our lives!

“Tyler has become a huge part of our lives, in good times and bad, over the last few years,” Harris said. “Andwhen we got through the hard times, we realized that we truly enjoy following our passion. We realized that welove it here.”

Before leaving the stage, Stinnett reminded graduates that although they are leaving campus, they need not leaveTyler behind. “As you go out in the world,” she said, “remember that we want to hear from you—for jobs, forrecommendations, with news of your achievements, with anything. Remember that you are always welcomehere and that your success reflects back on Tyler.”

After the ceremony, parents lined up to thank Simmie Knox for his thoughtful and prudent remarks as newgraduates mingled with friends and teachers, laughing and hugging and saying goodbye.

For all in attendance it was a joyful and emotional event.

“This has been a homecoming for me,” said Knox. “It’s been nearly 33 years since I was last here. I have fondmemories of Tyler and this has been a beautiful day.”

Two people contacted us about the Remember When photograph in the last issue. Faculty member andalumnus (BFA ’54 and MFA ’56) Neil Kosh identified the man in the back row as Ned Hergelroth (BFA ’51and MFA ’58). According to Neil, after graduating from Tyler, Ned taught Art Education on the Elkins Parkcampus and in South Hall on the Main Campus. We also heard from Turner Battle (MFA ’58) who alsoidentified Ned. Turner explained that he studied for his MFA between 1955 and 1958 and, during thistime, Ned was in charge of student teaching. The photograph likely dates from this time period.
