Frank worked further on a lecture he will deliver in Delaware later in June.

Today I met with a graduate student about her thesis project. Now that classes are over, I realize that this is the time for me to return to the book. Keeping the window for writing clear, I have decided upon a hiatus with this blog. It has helped keep me stay connected to Frank through a daily reading of his diaries from 1911 while I attended to the demands of my own teaching during the spring semester. Probably it has not accomplished much else than that! But now I will withdraw into my own world of writing to see what emerges on the other side: Hopefully the shape of a monograph about the etchings Waugh created between 1934 and 1943. They are a lens through which you can view his life and work during the interwar era which marked a printmaking renaissance in this country. With Frank’s unflappable “art for all” zeal, there is a story to tell! To that end if it seems interesting and helpful I may blog during the process of my efforts over the summer. Any readers out there, please wish me luck and success toward both a book and an exhibit.
