Make It Make Sense by Daniel Boris

 

Library of Congress print curator Sara Duke on LOC's Oliphant collections

Library of Congress print curator Sara Duke says about the LOC's holdings, 

The Library mounted Oliphant's Anthem, a retrospective in 1998, which is still online at https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/oliphant/. Oliphant drew a number of works for the catalog book publication, which included an interview. My predecessor, Harry Katz, was the lead curator for it. 

The Library has a large Oliphant collection, obtained both by gift and purchase: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=oliphant%20pat. There is also a map case drawer full of unprocessed sketchbooks in the Art Wood Collection. 

The Library possesses the Pulitzer Prize winning drawing, which I just happened to bring out for a display last week. He was still using chemigraphic paper (Duoshade and Craftint were two of the brand names) in 1966, so the drawing has condition problems.

Researchers may make an appointment to see them using the Prints & Photographs Division Ask-a-Librarian service at https://ask.loc.gov/prints-photographs.

Editor's note: 33 books by Oliphant, including some surprising titles, are also in the Library. 

Obituaries and Accolades for Pat Oliphant

This will be updated as I see them. It's in alphabetic order now, but new ones will be appended to the end.

Pat Oliphant RIP - photos by Bruce Guthrie

 by Bruce Guthrie 

Pat Oliphant died yesterday.  Over the years, I saw him a fair amount, usually with Richard Thompson.  

Richard and I had attended Art Wood's Great Cartoonist series at the Smithsonian back in 1983, but I wasn't taking photos then.

The next time I saw him was when I ran into Art and he said Richard and Pat and KAL were doing an exhibit together at Pat's wife Susan Conway's gallery in Georgetown.  That was in 1998 and that was my first time to meet Amy Thompson and Charlotte, their first child.

When Pat was at Politics and Prose back in 2007, Hunter "Patch" Adams came in blue hair and a clown costume. 

When Pat and Richard were both at San Diego Comic-Con in 2009 (the year that Richard announced he had Parkinson's), I attended Pat's panel.  I was sitting next to Susan Conway and Pat was talking about his career, showing slides of some of his cartoons, and then doing random drawings.  When he drew Monica Lewinski giving Bill Clinton fellatio or Sarah Palin getting rear-ended by a moose, Susan just covered her eyes in mock embarrassment.  

The last time I saw him was in 2018 when he came for the White House Historical Association book fair.

He'll be missed!

Some pics over the years.
