Ivan Mestrovic: The Current State Of Criticism, Dean A. Porter
The Courier
Few artists have had careers as long and prolific as Ivan Mestrovic's, and even fewer have known as much success and recognition. It would require volumes of print to document completely and properly, to discuss, and to evaluate the quality and scope of his sculptural, architectural, and literary accomplishments, and then additional volumes to duplicate the many monographs, essays, and articles that have been written about him. A brief mention of these accomplishments and a short review of the art-historical and critical comments on them will provide us with a point of reference from which to consider his position, as …

Ivan Mestrovic, Laurence Schmeckebier
The Courier
This article is an amalgamation of two pieces written by Professor Schmeckebier: "The Art of Mestrovic", which prefaced the catalogue of the spring 1984 exhibition of Mestrovic's work at The Joe and Emily Lowe Art Gallery at Syracuse University, and an as yet unpublished paper entitled "Mestrovic as a Sculptor in America," which he gave at Columbia University in November 1982 at a seminar sponsored by The Institute on East Central Europe.
The article details Mestrovic's life and contributions to art, whose monumental sculptures are on the same level as other greats such as Rodin and Michelangelo.

William Lescaze And Hart Crane: A Bridge Between Architecture And Poetry, Lindsay Stamm Shapiro
William Lescaze And Hart Crane: A Bridge Between Architecture And Poetry, Lindsay Stamm Shapiro
The Courier
This article expounds upon the unique relationship between the architect William Lescaze and poet Hart Crane after Lescaze's emigration to the United States during the early twentieth century. Lescaze's knowledge of European modernism influenced Crane's poems, which sought to counteract the pessimism of modern poets (for example T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland"), and provide affirmation of the Machine Age.

The Courier

Lang And Lee: Two Views Of The Great Depression, Steven M. Gelber
History
During the 1930s, America was the subject of American art. The European expressionism that had influenced so many artists through the 1920s was unceremoniously abandoned in favor of domestic realism. Creative people in all the arts adopted the theme. Virgil Thomson's music and Martha Graham's dance joined the novels of John Dos Passos and the plays of Thornton Wilder in an across-the-board celebration of America, past and present.
Domestic realism, as an artistic style, could take two distinct forms. · On the one hand there was the "documentary style" that sought to illustrate the country's troubles as a first step …
