First in History Sculptor Will Attend Exhibit
For the first time in the history of the KU Museum of Art, an artist whose works are being exhibited will attend the opening of the exhibit.
Dale Eldred, a young midwestern sculptor, will attend a reception from 3 to 5 p.m. on Nov. 5. A show of his sculpture works will run from Nov. 5 to Dec. 12.
Three of Eldred's big "monsters," artistically and delicately made, will be placed during the exhibit in front of the Art Museum.
"THIS WILL be the first of a planned series of annual one-man shows which will feature the work of contemporary painters, sculpturers, printmakers, designers and craftsmen." Bret Waller,
curator of the Museum of Art, said Wednesday.
Eldred, born in Minneapolis, Minn., received his bachelor's degree at the University of Michigan and his master's at the University of Minnesota. Although an artist, Eldred studied on a football scholarship.
Inree of his sculptures will be placed in the gardens outside the museum. They are the biggest of his works, and one of them—"Sisu" 25,18,14 feet—has about $2000 in materials. Nine models for landscape sculptures and two relief wall plaques will be placed inside the museum.
ELDRED'S WORKS have been on display in the Museum of
Modern Art of New York, in the Walker Art Center of Minneapolis, and in the Detroit Institute of Arts. Most of his sculptures were in the New Talent Exhibition in 1959.
Critics have said Eldred's sculptures have value in that they can be exhibited on a luxurious terrace of a modern building, as well as on the rough soil of a desert. "Anywhere, the sculptures say something to the public," one critic said.
"I know of no other midwestern artist who has so eloquently evoked the spirit of his land," Richard Brown, art editor of the Kansas City Star, said about Eldred's sculptures.
Poverty Program Provides Field Work
The Poverty Program and Juvenile Court in Topeka have provided new field work opportunities for graduate students in the social work department this year, Bradford W. Sheafor, instructor of social work, said Thursday.
Robert Agard, Larry Agnew,
and Mrs. Patricia Woodward, all
of Topeka, spend three days each
week in Topeka in connection
with the Poverty Program. Miss
Carmen Cabroero, of Wichita,
and Mrs. Sharon Grimm, of Lawrence, spend three days each week in connection with the Juvenile Court.
THE FIELD WORKERS are assigned cases and work with the child and family in an attempt to understand the problems which lead to the delinquency, Sheafer said. They present a report to the judge of the social background which leads to the offense.
The student attends the course with the family and discusses the material at the time of the hearing. If the child is placed on parole, the student is assigned as his parole officer, and helps the child deal with the problem so that the offense is not repeated, Sheafer said.
IF THE CHILD is sent to an industrial school, the student continues to work with the home situation which produced the problem so that the child will
not have to return to the situation which caused the deviation, he said.
In the Poverty Program, the students are studying schools in low income areas that identify with problem families. They try to define and help deal with the problem which is keeping the children from producing at the expected level in school.
