Robert D’Arista taught in the Â鶹´«Ã½ Department of Art for some twenty years. This exhibition explores his impact on twelve of his students.

Differing perhaps in all other respects, the various contemporary movements seem to agree only on an allegiance to the expressive, the personal, and the unique effort—and proceed then to proliferate arbiters, exegetes, claques, cliques, and cabals that must be a source of wonder to the participants most of all. Seeming to obey every known law…they proceed from virtuous evangelism to Bonapartist activism, aggrandizement, and so on. We speak of the end result as an academy, invidiously—hopefully, a school.
