THE ARTERY
THE ARTERY BEGAN back in the day when Prof. Alan
Lazarus was chair; it was black ink on white paper and it
contained articles, reviews of exhibitions, aesthetic state-
ments and illustrations. Designed and produced by faculty
with some input from students, it was a typical product
of the 1970s. Since that time, it h
as gone through several
transmutations; color was added, it was more deliberately
designed, and it became the yearly publication that high-
lighted the art work of students juried into the “Profiles of
the Future” exhibition.
Well, it
has come a long way baby! This year’s Artery is a
digital publication produced by the Student Art Association
officers in collaboration with a member of the faculty; we
have arrived at the 21st century not just through the medium,
but also in the empowerment of students who took over their
publication and truly made it their own.
In these p
ages you will find some of the best work by
students from the William Paterson University
Department
of Art; certain categories stand out this year: woods, sculpture,
painting and posters. This year’s faculty jury consisted
of professors Elaine Lorenz (sculpture), Steve Rittler
(animation), and Harry Weil (art history). Th
ey agreed on
aesthetic diversity, technical mastery and originality of vision;
these elements are all refl
ected in the selected art works.
Why does art remain important in an increasingly
mechanized world such as ours? The late playwright Samuel
Beckett wrote that “art breaks the dreary silence of existence;”
while the muralist J.C. Orozco believed that “art was
knowledge at the service of emotion.” Art is b
oth and does
both, and much more. It gives witness to
humanity’s deep
misery and small glory. It enhances life
. These works by our
students add to the “visual registry”of our humanity.
