CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY NOTABLE ALUMNI FULL
In 1992, Hagin was elected a full Academician of the National Academy of Design in New York. Since then, she has taught art at institutions such as Pratt Institute, Cooper Union, University of the Arts, Philadelphia and currently at Fashion Institute of Technology between spending summers working in a barn near Hudson, New York. Nancy Hagin is an award-winning contemporary realist American printmaker and painter who, after graduating from Carnegie Mellon, completed her MFA at Yale University in 1964. (Parts of this biography are excerpted from Mel Bochner: If the Color Changes by Achim Borchardt-Hume). The public project was commissioned by and named after art alumna Jill Gansman Kraus and her husband Peter Kraus and inaugurated in 2004. Bochner designed and created The Kraus Campo at Carnegie Mellon with landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh. Bochner has consistently probed the conventions of both painting and of language, the way we construct and understand them, and the way they relate to one another to make us more attentive to the unspoken codes that underpin our engagement with the world. While painting slowly lost its preeminent position in modern art, language moved from talking about art to becoming part of art itself. His pioneering introduction of the use of language in the visual led Harvard University art historian Benjamin Buchloh to describe his 1966 Working Drawings as ‘probably the first truly conceptual exhibition.’ Bochner came of age during the second half of the 1960s, a moment of radical change both in society at large as well as in art.
Emerging at a time when painting was increasingly discussed as outmoded, Bochner belonged to a new generation of artists who looked at ways of breaking with Abstract Expressionism and traditional compositional devices. Mel Bochner grew up in Pittsburgh and is recognized a leading figure in the development of Conceptual art in New York in the 1960s and 1970s. He is Professor Emeritus at Cal State East Bay in Hayward and is currently Professor of Painting at CCA in Oakland, California. Saunders studied at the University of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Barnes Foundation, the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and California College of the Arts (CCA). In 2011, Saunders joined numerous notable artists in the Hammer Museum’s, Now Dig This! Art & Black Los Angeles 1966-1980 in Los Angeles. He has exhibited nationally and internationally since 1952, including exhibits in France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Denmark, Singapore, Korea, Japan, and China as well as throughout the USA. He is represented by the Betty Cuningham Gallery in New York.įuller bio at: Raymond Saunders (BFA 1960)īorn in 1934 in Pittsburgh, Saunders is known for his multimedia paintings which often have sociopolitical undertones, and which incorporate assemblage, drawing, collage and found text. In 1982, he was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and in 2008, received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy in New York, and the Scholastic Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award. A distinguished Professor emeritus from Brooklyn College, Pearlstein has paintings in over 70 public art museum collections around the world. He is a preeminent figure painter who led a revival in realist art. After discharge from the army in 1946 he returned to CIT, where he studied with Robert Lepper, Balcomb Green and Samuel Rosenberg, and received his BFA degree in 1949. Upon graduation from Pittsburgh’s Taylor Allderdice High School in 1942, Philip Pearlstein enrolled in the Carnegie Institute of Technology, but the draft limited his attendance to one year. His impact as an artist is far deeper and greater than his one prescient observation that “everyone will be world famous for fifteen minutes.” His omnivorous curiosity resulted in an enormous body of work that spanned every available medium and most importantly contributed to the collapse of boundaries between high and low culture.įuller bio at: Philip Pearlstein (BFA 1949) Warhol’s life and work inspires creative thinkers worldwide thanks to his enduring imagery, his artfully cultivated celebrity, and the ongoing research of dedicated scholars.
More than twenty years after his death, he remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art and culture.
Andy Warhol graduated with a degree in Pictorial Design from the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) in 1949.
