Copying an Old Master Drawing

College How To Artist

Luca Cambiaso used iron gall ink and a quill pen to create this drawing in about 1570. RISD professor Andrew Raftery walks us through the making of iron gall ink and a quill pen, and explains how he copied Cambiaso's drawing.

Raid the Icebox

Curator From the files

In 1969, artist Andy Warhol was invited to curate an exhibition at the RISD Museum using works from the permanent collection that were not on view, but in storage.

Handwritten tribute from Richard Merkin to musician Bobby Short inside the catalog for Merkin's first New York gallery show, "The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of." The catalog accompanied a 1967 letter (on vintage letterhead) from Richard Merkin to musician Bobby Short, expressing Merkin's esteem for Short and his music, and inviting him to come see the exhibition.

Remembering Richard Merkin

From the files

Richard Merkin was for decades the go-to authority for all things dandyish. As we see in the ephemera from his life and his tailored clothing on view in the exhibition "Artist/Rebel/Dandy", his personality and fashion sense live on at RISD.

College Student Voices

The future is an abstract concept, hard to decode and difficult to predict. A summer intern reflects on fashion and future in this creative writing piece.

Rabbit Holes

College Student Voices

A summer intern conspires with a toothy collage in the museum’s collection.

A painting at left depicts a vase and a bowl containing flowers. A photograph on the right shows a recreation of the same scene.

Behind the Still Life

College Student Voices
