Scope and Contents

Tom Ockerse writes in his preface to this summer workshop report that "the occurrence of this study in a school of the visual arts is significant in that it deals with a kind of activity which is most often, traditionally, associated with literature. It affirms the view that the word is no longer limited to literary 'domain' and that the visual artist , perhaps through his conventionally less restricted view, can make a most important contribution to the development and understanding of human language."Mention is made of the Jean Brown Archive. A mention is made of the Jean Brown Archive, now in the Getty collection. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
