Tall From Ladder Opens Way for Writing;
Baldinger Produces Visual Arts Book
By Patty Romtvedt
High on a ladder under the
branches of a cherry tree one day
last year an amiable brown-haired
man suddenly found his feet un
supported as the ladder gave way.
As there were no branches handy
to cling to, he fell and found him
self in a somewhat damaged con
dition.
So Wallace “Wally” S. Baldinger
art school historian, took a leave
of absence last year. With his wife
and two children, he went to live
in Healdsburg, Calif., returning to
the University this summer.
There he found time to work on
his book, “Introducing the Arts of
Sight,” which is in the revision
stage now and is expected to be
on the market next fell.
A SURVEY TEXT
“I’ve been working on the book
for about three years. It grew out
of material in the survey of visual
arts course, and is intended to
appeal to the general reading pub
lic and also to be used as a text
for the survey course. It has abun
dant illustrations from a wide
range of sources," Dr. Baldinger
said.
Several articles by him have ap
peared in magazines. He also col
laborated on "The Culture of the
Middle West,” a faculty lecture
series symposium.
STUDIED IN PARIS
Dr. Baldinger, in his sixth year
at the University, was a merchant
seaman for three years after his
student days, and spent two sum
mers at the University of Paris
where he studied history of art. He
taught at Washburn College in
Topeka, Kan. for eight years, then
at Lawrence College, Appleton,
Wis. for four years.
After their stay in California,
the Baldingers spent three months
in Mexico, before Dr. Baldinger
returned to teach summer school
here. They stayed near the city of
Cuernavaca (“cow horn”), about
40 miles from Mexico City. They
were guests of Walter C. Taylor,
retired YMCA director of Mexico,
who is the brother-in-law of Lea
vitt Wright, professor of Sanish at
the University.
Mexico—the paradoxical country
with centuries-old culture mixed
with its revolution into modernism
—captivated the instructor.
ART CENTER
“Like many others, I have be
come an enthusiast of Mexico. She
is showing people the way in art.
I believe that Mexico City is be
coming another Paris of the art
world,’’ he declared.
In Mexico, Dr. Baldinger became
well acquainted with Jose Clemente
Orozoco, the dynamic and contro
versial painter, and they were in
correspondence until Orozoco’s
recent death. He speaks of the
artist with great respect and ad
miration.
“Orozoco’s death was a great
loss to the world. Both the quality
and quantity of his work were phe
nomenal.”
