  • Description
  • Art Professor Jerry Caplan gives student Roslyn Stevens ('82) some advice at the potting wheel. Caplan became the Chairman of Chatham's Art Department in 1959. He is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University and the student of Louise Bouche, Morris Kantor, Jon Corbino, Byron Brown, and John Hovannes. He has been a member of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh since 1948. His sculpture "Metamorphosis," originally done in terra cotta, was purchased by the Mortar Board for the Chatham College community in 1977. As he retired in the 1988, his students remembered his teaching philosophy that "it is important that you be given encouragement and that you have courage... for both are vital parts of your motivation."
