The responsive eye
Rare Books
The Responsive Eye, an exhibition of more than 120 paintings and constructions by 99 artists from some 15 countries, documents a widespread and powerful new direction in contemporary art. These works exist less as objects to be examined than as generators of perceptual responses in the eye and mind of the viewer. Using only lines, bands and patterns, flat areas of color, white, gray or black or cleanly cut wood, glass, metal and plastic, perceptual artists establish a new relationship between the observer and a work of art. These new kinds of subjective experiences, which result from the simultaneous contrast of colors, after-images, illusions and other optical devices, are entirely real to the eye even though they do not exist physically in the work itself. Each observer sees and responds somewhat differently.

A comp's-eye view of Emerson G. Wulling
Rare Books
Emerson Wulling printed for pleasure for over nintey years. He received a masters degree in printing history from Harvard in 1928, and a Ph. D. from the University of Minnesota in 1938, the same year he married Jean Laurier Crocker. They settled in a modest home near the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, where they raised three children. The quintessential hobby printer, he maintained his shop in several locations over the years, producing a variety of books, pamphlets, and ephemera. An English professor and lover of books, his printing, with much of the text written by himself, consistently displays a lively sense of humor and a clever literary wit.
