Bebe
Wolfe lecture, 11:30, Dec. 5, AC-335
Bebe
Wolfe, daughter of Karl and Mildred Wolfe and an artist at the Wolfe Studio,
will present a talk about her parents’ work in the Academic Complex Room 335 on
Thursday, December 5, at 11:30am.
An
exhibit of 20 paintings by the Wolfes showcases original work held by Millsaps
College along with artifacts and memorabilia loaned to the library by Bebe
Wolfe. The exhibit is in the Archives Gallery of the Millsaps-Wilson
Library and will remain open until May 9, 2014. Portraits of Eudora Welty
and three college presidents are included along with other portraits,
landscapes, ceramics, mosaics, and photographs. The exhibit may be viewed
any time the library is open.
“I am
more and more impressed as I grow older, by the things my parents were able to
accomplish in their lifetimes and by their joy and aliveness and the vibrancy
of the work they left behind.” Bebe Wolfe.
Karl
Wolfe (1904-1984) and Mildred Nungester Wolfe (1912-2009) were the only art
teachers at Millsaps from 1946 to 1969 and left an enduring influence on
their students.
“Skill is
not what we want in an artist- we want soul, and next to soul, thought…at
Millsaps we reach for the highest level…in reaching we stretch and enlarge our
souls.”Karl Wolfe.
