The Law School is home to a number of interesting works of art. Invariably, art elicits different and quirky opinions. We here at the Law Weekly believe it is our duty to not only share the copious amounts of artwork at the School, especially with our virtual readers, but also give you our seasoned art critiques. All photo credits to Devon Chenelle ’23 unless otherwise indicated.
Name: Untitled
Douglas Graebner '21: Very throwback to early AbEx, feels like a very “half Gorky, half very very early Pollack, some level of ties to Klee.”
Kathryn Querner '22: Here, we have a painting of masks. Ahead of its time, I know.
Ben Stievater '22: The first letter you see in this painting is the same as in your future spouse’s name —or at least it would be if you were ever going to find love, nerd.
Name: Armistead Mason Dobie
Ben Stievater '22: Incredibly unique! If only there were another two dozen like it scattered around the Law School.
Jacob Smith '23: At least this painting makes me feel good about my hairline. Also, what is about being a judge that makes wearing a red sash around your neck cool?
Name: Wagon Wheel by Stephen Keene
Leah Deskins '21: Reminds me of Andrew Wyeth’s artwork. I once saw a poster with an Andrew Wyeth painting on it while riding the metro in D.C. #Cultured.
Jacob Jones '21: I’ve seen a house before. I’m not that impressed.
Ben Stievater '22: A depiction of Mimilshak’s famous 2015 social experiment on whether blaring “Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Show would bring all the fraternity brothers to the yard. As hypothesized, it did.
