WATERCOLOR EXHIBIT AT U.VA. FINE ARTS LIBRARY FEATURES INNOVATIVE WEB
CATALOG

	An exhibition of watercolors at the University of Virginia's
Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library celebrates the creative life of Richard
C. Pullinger (1905-1998), a Philadelphia architect and artist and U.Va.
School of Architecture alumnus.  The exhibit, entitled "The Joy That
Flows From My Brush," and on view until May, features an innovative
electronic catalog that uses video clips and may be accessed via the
World Wide Web.
	In his watercolors Pullinger captures the transitory effects of
mist and moisture, sunlight and seasonal color along the New England
coastline.
	The website was designed by Paola Sanmiguel and Josie Pipkin of
the University Library Publications Department with narration by Jack
Robertson, Fine Arts librarian and curator of the exhibition. The web
address is http://www.lib.virginia.edu/fine-arts/Pullinger/index.html
	Portions of the catalog, with commentary on the artist and his
work, are presented in video. 
	The exhibit is on view on the second floor of the Fine Arts
Library. Four watercolors presented to the library as a gift by
Pullinger are on permanent view on the first floor.
