Reuben Tam (1916–1991) was an American landscape painter, educator, poet and graphic artist.
 He was born in Kapa'a on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i on Jan. 17, 1916.
 He earned a BA degree from the University of Hawaii in 1937, and also studied at the California School of Fine Art, at Columbia University with Meyer Schapiro and at the New School of Social Research in New York City.
 From 1946 to the 1970s, he taught at the Brooklyn Museum Art School where his students included Frances Kornbluth and Jean Arcoleo.
 He also spent many summers painting on Monhegan Island in Maine.
 Upon retirement in the 1970s, Tam returned to Kaua'i and died there on January 3, 1991 of lymphoma.
Look Homeward, Angel: A Story of the Buried Life is a 1929 novel by Thomas Wolfe.
 It is Wolfe's first novel, and is considered a highly autobiographical American coming-of-age story.
 The character of Eugene Gant is generally believed to be a depiction of Wolfe himself.
 The novel covers the span of time from Eugene's birth to the age of 19.
 The setting is the fictional town and state of Altamont, Catawba, a fictionalization of his home town, Asheville, North Carolina.
 Playwright Ketti Frings wrote a theatrical adaptation of Wolfe's work in a 1957 play of the same title.
Thomas Clayton Wolfe (October 3, 1900 – September 15, 1938) was an American novelist of the early twentieth century.
Edward Campbell Aswell (October 9, 1900, Nashville, Tennessee – November 5, 1958, Chappaqua, New York) was a 20th-century American editor.
 He was Thomas Wolfe's last editor and edited Wolfe's three posthumous books.
 This required considerable editorial work as the manuscripts were not in publishable form at Wolfe's death, but how much credit for the resulting three books devolves to Wolfe, and how much to Aswell, remains a subject of dispute.
The Thomas Wolfe House, also known as the Thomas Wolfe Memorial, is a state historic site, historic house and museum located at 52 North Market Street in downtown Asheville, North Carolina.
 The American author Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938) lived in the home during his boyhood.
 The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971 for its association with Wolfe.
 It is located in the Downtown Asheville Historic District.
Jonathan Crary, is an art critic and essayist, and is Meyer Schapiro Professor of Modern Art and Theory at Columbia University in New York.
 His first notable works were "Techniques of the Observer: On Vision and Modernity in the 19th Century" (1990), and "Suspensions of Perception: Attention, Spectacle and Modern Culture" (2000).
 He has published critical essays for over 30 Exhibition catalogues, mostly on contemporary art.
 His style is often classified as observational mixed with scientific, and a dominant theme in his work is the role of the human eye.
Of Time and the River (subtitled "A Legend of Man's Hunger in his Youth") is a 1935 novel by American author Thomas Wolfe.
 It is a fictionalized autobiography, using the name Eugene Gant for Wolfe's, detailing the protagonist's early and mid-twenties, during which time the character attends Harvard University, moves to New York City and teaches English at a university there, and travels overseas with the character Francis Starwick.
 Francis Starwick was based on Wolfe's friend, playwright Kenneth Raisbeck.
 The novel was published by Scribners and edited by Maxwell Perkins.
Barbara Rose (born 1938) is an American art historian and art critic.
 She was educated at Smith College, Barnard College and Columbia University, where she studied under Meyer Schapiro.
 Through Michael Chapman (cinematographer), Rose was introduced to many New York artists, including Carl Andre and Frank Stella.
 In 1961, Rose received a Fulbright to Spain.
 Stella joined her in Europe and the two were married in 1961 in London.
 They divorced in 1969.

 An expert on early Christian, Medieval, and Modern art, Schapiro explored art historical periods and movements with a keen eye towards the social, political, and the material construction of art works.
