Pursuing the Ephemeral, Painting the Enduring: Alzheimer’s and the Artwork of William Utermohlen

 
This site contains an exhibition catalogue and performance pieces created in commemoration of an exhibit of paintings by American portraitist William Utermohlen presenting paintings created before and after his diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Dementia (AD). The catalogue contains scholarly and creative works by Illinois Wesleyan faculty.

The exhibition is available at Illinois Wesleyan University Wakeley Gallery November 6 to December 11, 2015.

This event is a collaborative, interdisciplinary program, with School of Nursing, School of Art and Psychology department faculty involved in bringing the exhibit to campus and incorporating it into their courses.

The exhibition and catalogue are partially funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as part of the IWU Re-centering the Humanities Project (linked in right sidebar).

    Daydreams: A Dance Duet for the Utermohlen Project with Three Songs by Frank Bridge

    Kent Cook and William Hudson

    This version of the choreographed dance contains music performed by Drs. Kent Cook and William Hudson.

    The Last invocation (1918) text by Walt Whitman
    Into her keeping (1919) text by H.D. Lowry
    What shall I your true love tell (1919) text by Francis Thompson

    Bridge did not write these three songs as a set, but they are particularly poignant as each song expresses a range of intense emotions surely experienced during the long goodbye of Alzheimer's.
