Updated info on Burnt Wood

Many of Marxy's mosaics, including the one hanging in the Janzow campus center, feature burned pieces of natural wood. These five pieces show Marxhausen's experiments with burning wood.

The Jones Bank Mural

This is my first attempt loading video directly to blogger. These were shot by Karl Marxhausen for the blog.

The documentary, the Koenig Connection had a quote by Reinhold describing this piece, which I'll post this Sunday, along with some of my own photos showing the whole mural.

Marxy in the Tower - 1969

Marxy appears to be putting polyurethane on a wood sculpture. Above the art professors, there are works by students. The yearbook itself doesn't have information on the names of the students who created the works. Any former students recall these art works? I wonder which ones were in Marxy's class. One of the photos looks like a wood mosaic, which a student could have learned in one of Marxy's classes.
The title page for every section, "Faculty," "Students," etc., showed the same photographs. For the student section, the photo of the students was highlighted in gold ink, and so on for the other sections. Marxhausen was the faculty member featured in this yearbook, which meant this picture was on the title page of each section, and printed in gold for the faculty section. Once again, the photos of Marxhy show him hard at work.
