A Tradition of Excellence (Book 5)

A Tradition of Excellence—edited by Tom Klobe, introduction by John Wisnosky, photographs by Hal Lum and others. Published by University of Hawaiʻi Department of Art, 2002.

This book served as a catalogue for a 2002 exhibition of works by retired faculty of the Department of Art at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. To be eligible for inclusion an artist would have had to be past or present full-time faculty member of the Department. Each artist is covered by means of a portrait photograph and a biographical article (often sprinkled with quotes from the artist). It is not clear who wrote each article, but they must have been composed by Tom Klobe and the Gallery staff based on information provided by each artist. Generally each artist’s work is represented by four photographs, most in full color.

The artists are placed in alphabetical order: Web Anderson, Allyn Bromley, Ken Bushnell, Jean Charlot, Lee Chesney, Jon Covell, J. Halley Cox, Jeff Dunn, Gustav Ecke, Marion Everson, Helen Gilbert, Claude Horan, Sueko Kimura, Ken Kingrey, Ron Kowalke, Clemente Lagundimao, Huc-Mazelet Luquiens, Harue McVay, Prithwish Neogy, Ben Norris, Duane Preble, Hester Robinson, Edward Stasack, Tseng Yu-ho, and Murray Turnbull.
