# Ralph Friedman

Ralph Friedman (June 3, 1916 – June 3, 1995) was an American author, best known for his books about Oregon, which included travel guides and popular histories.
Born and raised to an impoverished Lithuanian Jewish immigrant family in Chicago, Friedman began riding the rails as a hobo during the Great Depression, and first arrived in Oregon as a hitchhiker in 1933. While working on and off in canneries and as a merchant seaman, he took courses at six different colleges and universities. Friedman was involved in labor and anti-war causes, and he met his wife, the broadcaster and political activist Phoebe Friedman, on a picket line in front of the White House in 1948. In 1950, the couple moved to Portland permanently.
During his career, Friedman wrote ten books and contributed to many other books, magazines, and newspapers. He led a travel class called "Oregon for the Curious" for Portland Community College (PCC), and also taught writing and folklore at PCC and at Portland State University.
Friedman's highway guides, such as Oregon for the Curious (1966) catalogue obscure, off-the-beaten-path parts of the state and are often illustrated with historical anecdotes, spurts of creative purple prose, and criticism of commercial overdevelopment and environmental degradation. His books were bestsellers and remain a staple of used bookstores in Oregon. Regional writer Matt Love believes that they may have helped inspire the environmentalist reforms promulgated during Tom McCall's gubernatorial administration.
Friedman died in Portland, Oregon on June 3, 1995, his 79th birthday.

# Eventide: A Scene in the Westminster Union

Eventide: A Scene at the Westminster Union is an 1878 work by the social realist painter Hubert von Herkomer. It depicts women at St James's Workhouse, in Soho, London. The original painting, and a watercolour study, are held by the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. It is considered a companion picture to Herkomer's The Last Muster, which is held by the Lady Lever Art Gallery, also on Merseyside.
The painting measures 198.5 cm × 110.5 cm (78.1 in × 43.5 in), and it is signed and dated "Hubert Herkomer 1878". It is based on three drawings that Herkomer made for The Graphic magazine, particularly his 1877 engraving "'Old Age – A Study at the Westminster Union". Although sparsely furnished and decorated, Herkomer depicts the workhouse as a relatively comfortable place. The distorted perspective emphasises the cluster of women in the right foreground. Several cheerful elderly women in bonnets are sitting around a table, which is covered with white table cloth and has flowers in a vase. There are also prints on the wall (including one of the main figures from Herkomer's The Last Muster: the elderly Chelsea pensioner checking the pulse of his neighbouring veteran, presumed dead, at a church service). Most of the women are sewing, while one with a straw hat has poured tea into a saucer to drink, and another has a bible resting in her lap. A young woman stands nearby. More groups of women are in the shadows to the left, including one supporting another walking with a stick away from a large window.
The painting was well received as a depiction of a truthful scene, and for its evocation of sentiment, but criticised for its gloomy subject. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1878, and purchased from the Liverpool Autumn Exhibition that year. It was praised when it was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1879.

# Eye of Fashion

Eye of Fashion is an 18 x 10 foot bronze sculpture by Robert Cronbach in 1978, installed outside the Fashion Institute of Technology's Goodman Center, in Manhattan, New York City.

## About Robert Cronbach

An artist and political activist, Robert Cronbach, was hired by the Works Progress Administration to create public art. His style of art dealt with the working class, social statements, and the relationship between art and landscape. He was known for his art at the Social Security Building in Washington, D.C., and the University of Minnesota Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum. Cronbach was also commissioned to create sculptures for the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington and the U.N. General Assembly Meditation Room in New York.

## Restoration

In 2017, the beloved sculpture spent approximately a year and a half at a Bronx-based art restoration facility to fix damages. The steel armature had rusted and the gold finish was showing major signs of deterioration. Cronbach had originally intended for the sculpture to oxidize over time but environmental effects had rapidly aged the FIT monument.
The restoration was performed by Wilson Conservation, LLC, a conservation firm owned by FIT alumna, Jackie Wilson. She has overseen many outdoor sculpture restorations in places such as at Herald Square, Madison Square Park, Princeton University, and the New York Public Library on Fifth Avenue. The restoration process included restoring the armature, cleaning of the exterior, and finishing the sculpture with a protective patina.
