“It Will Go”: Ivan Meštrović’s Legacy at Syracuse University
Joe and Emily Lowe Gallery
Opening eighty years after world-renowned Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović arrived at Syracuse University in January 1947, It Will Go revisits the eight-year chapter in his career at Syracuse. Meštrović brought to Syracuse the ideas, traditions, and teaching methods he had developed in Europe, working closely with students in his studio, including Luise Kaish ’46 G’51, William Artis ’50 G’51, James Wines ‘55, and Aldo Tambellini ‘54. Through sculpture, drawings, archival materials, and video, the exhibition offers a closer look at Meštrović as an artist and teacher and at the artistic community that developed around his Syracuse studio.
This exhibition is curated by Susan Fisher, Ph.D.
