William Itter: A Retrospective is an exhibition that features paintings and drawings from Itters illustrious career as painter and educator. Itters work represents imaginary places based on his observation and memory of themes from nature. He often uses landscape and interior still-life themes as a metaphor for memory. Itter notes I enthusiastically anticipate this retrospective of forty years creative activity to present a dynamic exhibition for all in the School of Fine Arts, Indiana University, and Indiana communities. Painter, William Itter, Professor Emeritus of Fine Arts, joined the faculty at Indiana University in 1969. He taught and directed introductory studio courses in drawing, color-design, and painting until he retired in 2006. He developed an outstanding program for Fine Arts graduate Associate Instructors who taught Fundamental Studio courses. For this he received The Presidents Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1999. As a professional artist, Itter has exhibited his work primarily in Chicago and Cincinnati galleries and various other shows in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania where he is included in public and private collections. This exhibition is open in conjunction with Form and Surface: African Ceramics, Baskets and Textiles from the William Itter Collection at the Indiana University Art Museum. A catalog of the exhibition will be made available.
