RIP the great Robert Duvall. Duvall came to SVA in 1983 to talk about Angelo My Love, a film he wrote and directed, with SVA Filmmakers Dialogue organizer Ralph Appelbaum. And in 1979 he showed up for SVA’s artists and curators tennis tournament! He’s photographed with SVA founder Silas Rhodes.
Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! 🧧 🐎 In honor of the year of the horse, we’re revisiting the catalog for “Department of Illustration Exhibition (horses)” held in 1961, accessible through @glaserarchives .
Which horse do you think will be your vibe for 2026? We’re feeling the Robert Weaver piece 🐴 🫂

Cel-o-tak illustration by Seymour Chwast for an article (“Sound of Eating”)in an unnamed in-flight magazine, perhaps never published(?). Undated, probably late 1970s, early 1980s.

Presenting the first issue of Carton Club, a collaboration between the Archives and the Visual Arts Press! This one is devoted to Seymour Chwast’s real and fanciful gum packaging. SVA community members can pick up a copy in the SVA Library, Library West, and the SVA Student Center. Or go to link in bio to see a digital copy.

E. 23rd Street and SVA’s main building looking swell with George Tscherny’s SVA flag. The banner was part of a new identity campaign celebrating the College’s name change from Cartoonists & Illustrators School to School of Visual Arts in 1956!
