Russian artist's stage sets are on display at Spencer
The Anisfeld exhibit at the White Gallery in the Spencer Museum of Art displays the work of artist Boris Anisfeld, who was part of the movement of artists and individuals who wanted to westernize Russian art.
A new exhibit of costume and set designs at Spencer Museum of Art shows in the theater, drama is not the only art that appears on stage.
The exhibit, titled Boris Anisfeld and the Theatre, is at the White Gallery at the art museum. It shows colorful drawings and paintings rendered with pencils, tempera paints and watercolors by Anisfeld, a Russian set designer who lived from 1879 to 1973 in Russia and the United States.

"They're so colorful. That is what has to go on a stage. A lot of catch-your-eye type of color and movement of lines. There is so much more behind the scenes in theater than you realize until you start looking at this type of work," said Jo Ann Anderson, Lawrence resident. "I didn't realize that there was this much art coming out of the background of
exhibit were not meant to be displayed. They are written on and have been tacked on bulletin boards in costume shops. Works in the exhibit came from collections in St. Petersburg, Russia, Chicago and New York. The exhibit has been shown in St. Petersburg, Lima and Columbus, Ohio, and is making its last stop in Lawrence. This is the only time these pieces will be shown as a group.
"This is a rare opportunity to see this collection all together," said Dennis Christilles, assistant professor of theater and film.
Anisfeld stood out among his colleagues because he not only designed his sets, he painted them as well, using an artillery of tools ranging from fine brushes to mops to paint backdrops.
Anisfeld was part of a movement of artists and intellectuals who wanted to westernize Russian art. He studied art and design in school and was discovered in 1906. He soon became one of the more important designers for the Russian Ballet.
The sketches give detailed plans for costume and set designs used in operas that were staged for the Ballets Russes in Russia and Paris and later for productions at the New York Metropolitan Opera and the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
"I's spectacular work," said Lance Gharavi, Meriam graduate student. "The kind of artistry he used to design made his renderings works of art beyond just pure functionality."
His work became very popular and well known. There were times when Anisfeld's work was praised, while the rest of the production was panned by critics.
theater work."
Anisfeld also taught art at the Chicago Art Institute from 1928 to 1958. The exhibit runs through May 25. The event is free.

There are a number of different strains of E. coli that cause human illness and discomfort. The strain of E. coli that KU researchers are studying is not as dangerous as some others, but it affects far more individuals and is mostly present in underdeveloped countries.
KU Microbiologists are getting closer to pinpointing the source and cause of enterotoxigenic E. coli, a type of bacteria that is racing through underdeveloped countries.
The enterohemomoragic E. coli, better known for its appearance in undercooked hamburger, may exist in a few select cases in the United States but is not common.
Many of the 60 drawings in the

the bacteria, which naturally exists in cattle, is dangerous when in the human body and is responsible for such problems as diarrhea and kidney failure, said John Brown, microbiology professor.
The E.coli being researched at the University of Kansas produces about 600 million cases of illness in underdeveloped countries a year. Of these infections, about one and a half million people die and about 700,000 of these deaths occur among children five years old and younger, said Eric Elsinghorst, microbiologist and bacteria researcher.
"Diseases that thrive in underdeveloped countries don't thrive in the U.S. because of mass communication, and this country's ability to warn people," Brown said.
One way of stopping the bacteria from interacting with small intestine cells is through the use of new prophylacticlike drugs.
Elsinghorst and his lab assistants have identified that the bacteria is stimulated by the massive water accumulation in the small intestine, which causes diarrhea
Whether individuals exposed to the enterotoxigenic E. coli are treated, it takes five to seven days to recover.
