Thank you, Peter, for sharing my colleague Suzanne Schadl's news about the passing of David Craven. Dr. Craven was a young 60 years of age and in seemingly great health, so his sudden death from a heart attack was completely unexpected. I studied with Dr. Craven during my art history graduate work, and also worked closely with him on collection development matters for many years. We are still reeling from this news. He will be greatly missed. <- -/^\=:=/^\=:=/^\=:=/^\=:=/^\=:=/^\- -> Nina Stephenson, Art Librarian-Library Acquisitions Fine Arts and Design Library MSC05 3020 1 University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM 87131-0001 [log in to unmask] 505-277-0679 >>> Peter Stern <[log in to unmask]> 2/15/2012 12:05 PM >>> From the UNM story: “His art hisﾭtory books are respected as authorﾭiﾭtaﾭtive includﾭing the most widely read, Art and Revﾭoﾭluﾭtion in Latin Amerﾭica, 1910–1990, which was nomﾭiﾭnated for a 2004 Mitchell Prize, as well as Diego Rivera as Epic Modﾭernist, The New Conﾭcept of Art and Popﾭuﾭlar Culﾭture in Nicaragua Since the Revﾭoﾭluﾭtion in 1979, Poetﾭics and Polﾭiﾭtics in the Life of Rudolph Baranik, Abstract Expresﾭsion as Culﾭtural Criﾭtique: Disﾭsent Durﾭing the McCarthy Period, which received broad critﾭiﾭcal acclaim, and Dialecﾭtiﾭcal Conﾭverﾭsions: Donﾭald Kuspit’s Art Critﾭiﾭcism.” From: Suzanne Schadl [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 1:21 PM Subject: Sad News From UNM Hello All, It is in deep sadness and with a heavy heart that I share the following story on the untimely and unexpected death of distinguished Professor David Lee Craven (Art and Art History). He was as -- noted within the attached -- genﾭerﾭous in spirit, praise, intellect, and also in his enthuﾭsiﾭasm. His contributions to our graphic arts, contemporary exhibition catalog, and circulating Art History collections were extraordinary and reflective of his broad and deep commitment to intellectual and creative exchange. David's loss cuts deep, not just here at UNM, but in all of the communities where he spread his infectious enthusiasm for Latin American Art, theory and popular movements. It was a distinct privilege to know him and to work with him.
