Staff Pick of the Week

Sometimes while pulling books for a class something will catch my eye. This book Romance de la Guardia Civil Espanola or The Ballad of the Spanish Civil Guard, by Spanish poet and playwright, Federico García Lorca, published by The Janus Press, Newark, Vermont, 1974, was pulled for a upper level Spanish course. The woodcuts by American printmaker, Jerome Kaplan (1920-1997) are what caught my eye. 

As an artist-printmaker I am drawn to prints that embrace the qualities of the matrix. I see Kaplans woodcuts as a celebration of the medium. He does not overpower the wood and force it to be something that it is not; the grain of the wood and the mark of the gouge are embraced. These woodcuts powerfully express the sorrow and drama of the conflict in the poem and the poems’ nocturnal motif. 

This book was designed and printed by Clair Van Vliet at her Janus Press. The type was set in 18 point Monotype Spectrum by Nancy Boylen and printed on Mohawk Superfine Vellum paper in an edition of 300 copies, and bound by Jim Bicknell. The edition is signed by the artist and our copy has a signed presentation inscription from Claire Van Vliet to our friend and benefactor Jerry Buff, who donated this book to us from his extensive collection.

Mathober Day 31: Unity

Not really on that theme, but the last two years (2021, 2020) I've ended Mathober with a Jorge Posada inspired tribute to mathematicians. This year I'm also stealing from Matisse!

This year three significant math educators passed away.

Ed Dubinsky was the originator of the APOS, action process object schema, framework and early studier of undergraduate math education. Bob Kaplan was a Harvard mathematician who started the Math Circles movement with his spouse Ellen. Jerry Becker ran a math teacher educator listserv for decades that was the first great electronic connection among us, and did ground breaking research studying comparisons and contrasts between US and Japanese mathematics teaching.
