About the Darrell Sechrest Permanent Art Collection:
Most of High Point University‘s beautiful permanent art collection has been
generously donated by Mr. Darrell Sechrest. The collection primarily consists of
fine examples of 18th and 19th Century British art. Mr. Sechrest began acquiring art
in the 1950s when his father asked the question, ―Why is one painting worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars and another of the same subject, same size, worth
a few hundred dollars?‖
With no previous exposure to formal art, Mr. Sechrest began attending local art
exhibits, auctions, and studying art trends and movements throughout history. He
then decided to concentrate on collecting pieces from 18th and 19th Century Great
Britain, and focused on acquiring good quality pieces at affordable prices. Because
specimens of that period were undervalued at the time, Sechrest was able to
purchase works of better quality than he could have from the Impressionist
Movement, for example. By staying focused on that period, it has been possible
for him to combine some better paintings from period artists, while learning more
about the artist and the particular paintings.
Since donating the collection of paintings to High Point University, Mr. and Mrs.
Sechrest have tried to relay the limited provenance of each piece and to give the
opinions of the research departments of Sotheby‘s and Christies, acknowledged
experts in the field. Mr. and Mrs. Sechrest have also generously donated two
additional collections, one of French lithographs, and one of Haitian paintings.
Location of Paintings:
With the addition of the Learning Commons in the University Center, selections
from the British art collection as well as the majority of the French lithographs
and Haitian paintings have found a beautiful and permanent home.
Other pieces of the Darrell Sechrest Permanent Collection of 18th and 19th Century
British art may be found on the fourth floor of the University Center in the
Presidents‘ Club and in the Hayworth Fine Arts Center.

Titles: Sir Henry Strachy and Lady Strachy
Artist: William Patten, Jr. (1790-1843)
William Patten Jr. came from a family of portrait painters in England in the early 19th
century. The artist was born in 1790 and, along with his father William, and his brother
George, regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy with works in the then popular style of
miniature portraits as well as life-sized ones.
His technique involved meticulous detail and tightly controlled brush work that was
less romantic in mood than his predecessor, Sir Joshua Reynolds, but most effective.
Patten was so attentive to detail in his portraiture that his history tells us that this
eventually led to his loss of eyesight. Such detail also flourished at this time in architecture
and clothing of the period ( the Romantic ).
In these two portraits, we see a member of British nobility and his wife. The Strachey
family may be studied in the book,The Strachey Family: 1588-1932, available for checkout
from Smith Library.

Title: A Day at the Beach
Artist: Eugene Henri Millet
This French fan was hand-painted on silk by the artist, Eugene Henri Millet.
Fan painting is an art form that has existed for many years. Painted fans are depicted
in the artwork on ancient Egyptian, Greek, Assyrian, and Roman ruins, while the oldest
surviving fans are from Eastern Asia. Ancient fan artists from that time period would use
India ink to create designs on various materials including paper or silk. Subjects included
landscapes, birds, and flowers.
This art was rarely practiced in Europe until the 17th and 18th centuries. In France
and Italy, the art form truly flourished, producing some rich and beautiful specimens.
Artists would use watercolors and thicker paints to engrave designs on fans made from paper,
silk, leather, and gauze. The handle and sticks used to make the fan rigid were often made of
very delicately carved wood or ivory. Precious materials were often used to enhance the
beauty of the fan. These included gold leafing and mother-of-pearl. Gorgeous fans were also
popular in the 19th century, although they were not as ornate.
The scene depicted in this fan from the Darrell Sechrest Collection is of a party on the
beach during the 19th century. The fan is made of finely carved wood and painted paper.

Title: Vestal Virgin in the Temple
Artist: Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912)
Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema was one of the most popular and successful painters of the
Victorian period, and was recognized all over Europe for his achievements. Alma-Tadema was born
Laurens Alma Tadema in 1836 to a Dutch notary in Dronrijp, Netherlands. Showing his talent at an
early age, Alma-Tadema studied at the Antwerp Academy under the painter, Hendrik Leys. In 1863,
he visited Italy, where he became immensely interested in Greek, Roman and then Egyptian history
and archaeology. These ancient cultures formed the exclusive basis for all of his paintings from that
time forward. Alma-Tadema began to rise in fame for his remarkable ability to recreate the various
textures of materials, from sheer fabric to metal to rich marble. He moved to England in the early
1870s and became an English citizen in 1873. Further merits include his election into the Royal
Academy and being knighted in 1899. Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema‘s most well known artwork is
perhaps Spring, which is owned by the Getty Museum.
Despite his immense popularity during his lifetime and for some time afterward, the styles
and themes of Victorian paintings went rapidly out of fashion with the arrival of Cezanne, Matisse,
Picasso, and Renoir. Many works of Alma-Tadema and similarly styled artists were purchased
cheaply during the 1950s; since then the values of these pieces have risen once more. Vestal Virgin at
the Temple is deeply representative of the style of Alma-Tadema. It depicts a Roman character, a
vestal virgin, strewing a path with flowers. Closer inspection of the painting will show the great
technique of the artist with a variety of textures, primarily the fabric and the marble.

Title: View in Boulougne
Artist: Richard Parkes Bonington (1802-1828)
The great Romantic painter, Richard Parkes Bonington, was born near Nottingham,
England in 1802 and lived only 25 years. Bonington studied at Calais in France where he
learned about the watercolor styles that were used by the British painter, Thomas Girtin.
These watercolor landscapes were novel to French artists, and gained him much admiration.
Bonington went on to develop new techniques in oil for his historical scenes. Though he
died in 1828 of tuberculosis, Bonington‘s works were of great influence to future painters,
and produced many imitators in the coming years. His achievements in new technique also
paved the way for the Impressionist movement.
This painting is of the town of Boulogne, in Northern France and is signed in the
corner ―R.P. Bonington 1821‖ in the lower right corner. Known for his great detail and
excellent color blending, this painting is an excellent example of Bonington‘s work.
11
Title: Portrait of a Young Lady
Artist: Rev. Matthew William Peters (1728-1785)
Born on the Isle of Wright in 1742, Reverend Matthew William Peters worked in
Florence, Rome and London, where he exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1769-1785. As
a young painter, he studied under the portrait artist, Thomas Hudson, and visited Italy and
France. Peters achieved some success as a painter of portraits, historical scenes, and ―fancy‖
pictures, pictures that are contrived to be especially charming. Most of Peters‘ renown
comes from his more erotic, pin-up style paintings. In 1781, Peters became a clergyman in
the Church of England, and abandoned his more risqué subjects for romantic and devotional
works.
Peters was deeply influenced by the portrait painter, Thomas Gainsborough. In this
piece, Portrait of a Young Lady, which was completed in the late 1770‘s, the subtitle was
noted as ―Hommage to Gainsborough.‖
12
Title: Mrs. Mead Wife of Captain Mead, RN
Artist: Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788)
Thomas Gainsborough was a renowned painter of landscapes and portraits during the 18th
century in England. He is celebrated for being extremely ingenious in his work, and eager to
experiment with various methods and styles.
Born in 1727 in Suffolk, England to a maker of woolen goods, Gainsborough began his serious
study of painting at age 13 under the French artist, Hubert Gravelot, when he persuaded his father to
let him go to London. Gainsborough first concentrated on the painting of landscapes, although he is
famous today for many of his portraits. He achieved real success in 1759, when he and his family
moved to the city of Bath. Here, Gainsborough attracted fashionable people to sit for his paintings,
and he came under the influence of the work of the great Flemish portrait painter, Anthony Van
Duyck.
During the 1760s, Gainsborough began exhibiting often in London and became a member of
the Royal Academy, the principal society of artists in London. During his period in Bath,
Gainsborough painted perhaps his most well-known painting, entitled The Blue Boy. After moving
to London, Gainsborough continued to rise in fame and was asked to paint the portraits of the king
and queen. Gainsborough died a favorite artist of the royal family in 1788.
This work, Mrs. Mead, Wife of Captain Mead, was purchased by popular subscription by the
city of Detroit for the permanent collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. The Sechrest Gallery
then acquired it at auction. Due to Gainsborough‘s lackadaisical record-keeping of his sitter books, it
is difficult to know exactly when many of his paintings were completed.
13
Title: Evening on the Trent
Artist: Henry Kinnaird
This oil painting was also part of the Darrell Sechrest Collection. However, at this
time, little has been discovered about the artist. Kinnaird was probably of the British School
of landscape painting.
The subject is the Trent River, which is a long and twisting river that cuts through
the English midlands.
14
Title: Fishermen on Banks of a Loch
Artist: Gottlieb Daniel Paul Weber (1823-1916)
Gottlieb Daniel Paul Weber was born in Darmstadt, Germany in 1823. After studying
in Frankfort, Weber moved to the United States in 1848 to settle in Philadelphia. Weber
began to exhibit frequently at the Pennsylvania Academy from 1849 onward. Weber gained
in fame and took a tour of Scotland and Germany in 1857. Returning to his hometown in
1860, Weber was given the high appointment of Painter to the Prussian Court. Weber did
return to the United States later, where he died in 1916.
Weber‘s style is noted as creating an ethereal light effect with his use of thin layers of
oil and colors. The brush strokes are almost completely hidden. It appears as though an
actual light source is within the painting.
Weber‘s works may be found in the Corcoran Gallery, Georgia Museum of Art, and
many other large galleries. This painting, Fishermen on Banks of a Loch resided in the
Pennsylvania Museum of Art before it was auctioned off.
15
Title: A King from the Adoration of the Magi: a Fragment
Artist: Alessandro Gherardini (1655-1726)
Alessandro Gherardini was born in Florence in 1655, where he was a pupil of the
painter, Alessandro Rossi. Rossi helped to foster a non-academic style in Gherardini‘s works.
Gherardini experimented with drastic foreshortening of figures and odd angles of view that
greatly disturbed traditional painters of his time. He was known for using broad areas of
dark shadow, an effect common to the Italian Baroque and Venetian Mannerist works.
This work has been confirmed as a fragment of a much larger piece by Gherardini
entitled The Adoration of the Magi. The original painting was damaged in an Italian castle
during World War II. Often, beautiful larger paintings were so damaged by fire and
explosions that small surviving parts were salvaged and reframed. This fragment shows both
the emotion and experimentation that Gherardini was noted for.
16
Title: Woodcutters Sherwood Forest
Artist: Joseph Thors (1835-1884)
Joseph Thors was a popular British painter of landscapes who primarily painted rustic
landscape scenes of England‘s midlands and exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1863 to
1878. He also exhibited at the British Institution and the Society of British Artists up until
his death. Thors is well known for his country scenes including water, cottages, animals and
figures.
The Sechrest Gallery acquired this favorite of Mrs. Sechrest, who admired the lovely
texture of the trees and feeling of warmth shown by the artist in the depth of the forest.
Today, Thors‘ works may be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, the
Tate Gallery in London, The Cleveland Museum of Art, the Fine Arts Museums of San
Francisco, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Bristol Museum and many other
collections throughout the world, both private and public. Please note the other Thors
painting owned by High Point University and found on page fifteen.
17
Title: Girl Pausing by Shady Brook
Artist: Edward Charles Williams (1807-1881)
Edward Charles Williams was the eldest son of Edward Williams in a family of
famous artists, which included Alfred Walter Williams, Henry Boddington, and Sidney
Richard Percy. Williams was probably the least privileged of the brothers, as the younger
sons had the greater advantage of starting their careers in more affluent circumstances.
Being his father‘s namesake, Williams both suffered and gained from the notoriety.
Williams‘s style was, in many ways, more interesting than that of his father, and his work
has continued to hold up well on the market, despite being confused with his father at times.
Williams‘ paintings are known for being charming and relaxing, and this example is no
exception.
Williams‘ works were regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1840 to 1864 as
well as at the British Institution and other galleries.
18
Title: Fishing at the Lake
Artist: Joseph Thors (1835-1884)
Joseph Thors was a popular British painter of landscapes who primarily painted rustic
landscape scenes of England‘s midlands and exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1863 to
1878. He also exhibited at the British Institution and the Society of British Artists up until
his death. Thors is well known for his country scenes including water, cottages, animals and
figures. Thors is notable for his amazing textures, and ability to convey both depth and
movement.
Thors‘ works may be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, the
Tate Gallery in London, The Cleveland Museum of Art, the Fine Arts Museums of San
Francisco, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Bristol Museum and many other
collections throughout the world, both private and public.
This painting was acquired from the estate of the actor, Edward G. Robinson, a star in
the 1930s, 40s and 50s, who had at one time what was considered one of the finest private art
collections in the world. A divorce settlement in 1956 forced the actor to sell off most of his
pieces. Please note the other Thors painting owned by High Point University and found on
page thirteen.
19
Title: Shipping off a Rocky Coast
Artist: Adrien Manglard (1695-1760)
Adrien Manglard, the marine artist, was born in Lyon, France in 1695 to a modest
painter who taught him to paint figures. In 1715, the young Manglard travelled to Rome,
where he developed his ability to draw and paint ships. He became known as a great marine
painter, and even developed his skills in sculpture and engraving. His skill at marine
painting became widely known and admired, attracting prestigious clients such as Victor
Amadeus II, Duke of Savoy, and King of Piedmont.
In 1736, Manglard was elected a member of the Paris Academy and to the Academia
di San Luca in Rome the following year. Painting on canvas, often in a large format,
Manglard concentrated on seascapes throughout his career. Titles such as ―Shipwreck,‖
―Storm Near a City,‖ Seaport with a War Vessel,‖ and Sea with Wreck‖ are found in world
famous museums such as the Louvre and the Uffizi.
Manglard discovered his own style, combining Northern Realism with the classical
idealism of Claude Lorrain. One of Manglard‘s students was the artist Claude-Joseph Vernet,
who would later surpass his teacher in renown. The work of both master and student would
coincide with the emergence of landscape painting, which began in the seventeenth century
and continued through Impressionism.
20
Title: Portrait of a Gentleman
Artist: English School, possibly Taddeo Zuccaro or
Marcus GheeraertsBrittanica
This painting is particularly interesting because of the disagreement over who actually may
have painted it. It is believed that the painting was completed somewhere between 1552 and 1618,
and that the man portrayed in the picture is Sir Walter Raleigh. Inscribed on the painting are the
words, ―Sir Walter Raleigh OBT 1618.‖ To confirm this, you may wish to view the famous ―Portrait
of a Gentleman,‖ commonly thought to be of Sir Walter Raleigh and painted by Sir William Segar in
1598, which hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin.
A great deal of research has been done to verify who was the sitter for the painter, and
perhaps just as importantly, who painted it. Originally, the painting resided with the Howard family
of Corby Castle in Carlyle, Great Britain. From there, the painting was inherited by Phillip John
Canning Howard, JP, who lived from 1853-1934 and sold it to Christie‘s of London in 1922, citing the
artist as Taddeo Zuccaro, Zuccaro was the Italian leader of the Roman Mannerist school of painting,
whose chief works were decorative frescoes for palaces and some religious paintings.
However, while the painting was on loan at an exhibition in 1929, the Virginia Historical
Society determined the actual artist was Marcus Gheeraerts the younger, a very famous portrait
painter whose sitters included Queen Elizabeth I among many others of the Tudor court. About
thirty paintings have been positively attributed to Gheeraerts including the full-length one of the
queen standing on the map of England, but it becomes difficult to positively distinguish his unsigned
works from those of his contemporaries.
This painting was again appraised by Leonard Day in 2002, who stated that many of the
qualities of detail and colors are indeed indicative of Taddeo Zuccaro.
21
Title: Southern Landscape with Castle
Artist: Richard Wilson RA (1714-1782)
Richard Wilson has the distinction of being one of the first major British landscape
painters, and his paintings are widely known for their scenic beauty and the peacefulness
that they evoke. At the age of fifteen, Wilson began studying portrait painting from Thomas
Wright, which was the art he pursued on his own from 1735 until about 1746. At this point,
Wilson showed a growing dedication to portraying landscapes which turned into his sole
focus in just a few years. To further his art, Wilson travelled to Italy, living there for seven
years and learning from other painters, including Joseph Vernet and Anton Raphael Mengs.
For a long time, Wilson‘s works were solely of Italian landscapes, but after he returned to
England in 1757, he began painting his English countryside. He taught, and exhibited
regularly in the Royal Academy as well as the Society of Artists.
Wilson was known for his ability to perceive and put light into his paintings. As a
teacher, he gained many imitators, and so, other painters‘ works are often attributed to
Wilson and vice versa.
22
Title: The Lake
Artist: George W. Johnstone (1849-1901)
George Johnstone was a prolific Scottish artist who regularly exhibited in the Royal
Academy as well as the Royal Scottish Academy, and museums throughout France and
Germany. While in France, Johnstone took the opportunity to paint in the famous
Fontainebleu forest, known as one of the most scenic woodlands in France, and spanning
42,000 acres. He subscribed to a theory of painting from nature rather than in the studio
from memory, along with many other Fontainebleu painters.
This painting, The Lake, was awarded a medal in Paris, and belonged to the collection
of James Fisk, an industrialist in the 1800s. The painting was sold at auction to the Sehcrest
Gallery. This painting is especially beautiful in its seemingly misty transparency.
23
Title: Home on the Lake
Artist: Alfred Vickers, Sr. (1786-1868)
Alfred Vickers, Sr. was a British landscape painter whose style was very similar to one
of his contemporaries, Eugene Boudin. Particularly interesting, as he was very popular and
creative, Vickers was self-taught. The artist was known for painting many different river
views utilizing rapid, sketchy brushstrokes and a myriad of pale greens for his palette.
Because of his distinctive style, many collectors sought to include him in their collections.
Home on the Lake was acquired from the Edward G. Robinson estate at auction. This
piece is very indicative of the method of Vickers in its gentle, yet rich coloring and delicate
sketching of the scenery.
24
Title: Saint Francis of Assisi Having the Vision of the Flaming Torch
Artist: Workshop of Domenikos Theotokopoulos, called El Greco (1541 – 1614)
Domenikos Theotokopoulos was the actual name of the great master of Spanish painting, El
Greco (The Greek). El Greco is extremely well-known for his dramatic and intensely creative style, a
style which was very different from other painters of the time.
El Greco was born in Crete in 1541 and never forgot his heritage, signing many of his
paintings with the Greek letters for his full name, including the painting owned by High Point
University. When he was in his twenties, El Greco travelled to Venice to study under the greatest
painter of the time, called Titian.
El Greco acquired his commonly known name after moving permanently to Spain in 1577. In
Toledo, he became friends with many important people and accepted commissions from churches,
monasteries, and others in the city. His subject matter was always religious in nature, but in the
1580s, El Greco‘s work began to become very unique in the artist‘s blending of Renaissance
illusionism and Byzantine styles. He is known for elongated figures, graceful lines, and his theatrical
choices for lighting and colors. His masterpiece is regarded as being The Burial of the Count de
Orgaz though his works were prodigious and all very recognizable.
The Greco owned by High Point University features one of his favorite subjects, St. Francis of
Assisi, a figure who he painted in about 25 originals. This painting has the same composition with
minor differences of a painting by El Greco in the Hospital de Nuestra Senora del Carmen in Cadiz,
Spain. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was common for the workshop of a painting master to
reproduce a commissioned work several times to create extra revenue. It is generally thought that
25
the painting in Cadiz is the original. Experts also agree that although much of the painting may have
actually been painted by the workshop of El Greco, the hands and facial features were painted by
either the master himself or by his son, Jorge Manuel.
The original painting is titled St. Francis receiving the Stigmata with Brother Rufino. The El
Greco expert, Harold E. Wethey wrote that he considered the subject of this composition to represent
an episode in the life of the Saint as told in ―Little Flowers of Saint Francis.‖ The saint‘s companion
comes upon him in the woods at prayer where upon a flaming torch descends from the sky and
speaks to the saint. Hence, the title of our painting.

Title: Belshazzer‘s Feast
Artist: Antonio Zucchi (1726-1795) & Angelica Kauffman (1741-1807)
Born in Switzerland and raised in Italy, Angelica Kauffman‘s father was a portrait
painter and at the age of eleven, Kauffman‘s own works were attracting more attention than
those of her father. She was known as an accomplished musician and artist. These first
paintings were influenced by artists Henri Gravelot and Francois Boucher. In 1766,
Kauffmann was invited by an English ambassador‘s wife, Lady Wentworth, to England,
where she quickly became a favorite artist of the royal family. In England, Kauffman became
close with and influenced by the artist Sir Joshua Reynolds in her portraiture. Kauffman, in
1769, was one of only two female founding members of the Royal Academy. Kauffman
continued to paint and exhibit annually, and in 1781 married the artist Antonio Zucchi, who
was a complement to her art production.
Antonio Zucchi was born and trained as a decorative/historical painter in Venice.
From 1766 until his marriage to Angelica Kauffman in 1781, Zucchi worked as a decorative
painter, for the Adam Brothers, and restored older beautiful and aristocratic English homes.
Angelica was actually the more sought after artist, producing about sixty more commissioned
religious and classical paintings from 1781-1803. Honored by the royal courts of Naples and
Rome, Angelica was awarded highly by Joseph II of Rome, receiving a portrait bust of her in
the Pantheon.
27
In Belshazzer‘s Feast, we have a unique connection with these two artists. The
painting was originally thought to be by artist Benjamin West, an artist the Sechrest family
was eager to include in their collection. The piece was in such terrible condition when
acquired that Mr. Sechrest immediately sent it to the restorer. During the cleaning process, a
signature was revealed ―A Zucchi 1781, which can be seen under the lilp of the urn in the
lower middle of the painting. Despite the initial disappointment that this was not an actual
Benjamin West painting, Ian Kennedy of Christie‘s was most pleased with the signature and
the date. Angelica collaborated with Zucchi by painting the figures in his historical and
biblical paintings and 1781 was the actual year of their marriage. It is believed that this was
a collaborative work of the two artists.‘

Title: Portrait of Belinda
Artist: Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–1792)
Sir Joshua Reynolds is one of the most important painters in British art history, an
artist who took painting from simple craft to an intellectual pursuit. Reynolds dominated the
style of painting in the middle and late 18th century, becoming the first president of the
Royal Academy, a position he held for twenty-one years.
Born in 1723, Reynolds was very interested in literature from an early age, the son of
an English grammar schoolmaster. Reynolds was sent to London to study under the portrait
painter Thomas Hudson and by 1744, he had started to develop his own style, one that
included bold brush strokes and a thick surface texture of paint. In 1749, Reynolds went to
Italy and studied Greek and Roman sculpture and the painters of the High Renaissance,
especially Michelangelo, who became his chief Italian influence. In 1753, Reynolds returned
to London to open his portrait studio, which was immensely popular; his portraits mainly
consisted of British high society in neo-classical style.
Before 1760, there had been no public exhibitions of artists of the day. This was the
year that Reynolds helped found the Society of Artists, producing exhibitions that would
lead to the formation of the Royal Academy in 1768 through the patronage of King George
III. The King also knighted Reynolds and elected him President of the Academy. As
President, Reynolds wrote and delivered fifteen discourses, which explained and advocated
29
the Academic tradition of artists‘ education. These discourses are some of the most
important surviving pieces of art criticism of the time.
Most of Reynolds‘ sitter books were well-kept and are still available, and there are
very many of them as he painted nearly every notable in England at the time. There has
been difficulty in preserving his works as he began to use an experimental method of
bitumen and coal added to his pigments. This practice later proved to degrade the paint
surface. Despite this problem, Reynolds‘ works are renowned and famous for their technical
merit as well as his ability to show human character on the canvas.
Portrait of Belinda was acquired at auction by Mr. Sechrest, and appears to feature
one of his subject types that often led to some of his finest work: fashionable women of
questionable reputation.
30
Title: Old Man in Oriental Costume
Artist: Christian Wilhelm Ernest Dietrich (1712-1774)
The talented painter, Christian Wilhelm Ernest Dietrich, spent most of his life in
Dresden, Germany and traveled a bit in Rome and Venice. He was in high demand all over
Europe due to his ability to a style very similar to the old masters. Dietrich was appointed
Court Painter to the court of Rulers Augustus the Strong and his son Augustus III of Saxony
and Poland.
This portrait shows Dietrich‘s excellent use of detail and was completed in an era
when interest in Oriental art and culture was flourishing. This painting is particularly
interesting due to the fact that it was reportedly exhibited for 200 years as a work by
Rembrandt.
31
Title: Bunyon and Blind Daughter at Bedford Gaol
Artist: Sir George Harvey (1806-1876)
Sir George Harvey was born in 1805 in St. Ninians, Scotland, the son of a
watchmaker. In 1826, when Scottish artists established an academy of their own, framed on
the model of the Royal Academy in London, Harvey, though only twenty-one at the time,
became a member. His work in historical pictures made him famous. His first renowned
paintings were of this subject: the Covenanters, who were instrumental in the recognition of
Presbyterianism in Great Britain.
In Bunyon and Blind Daughter at Bedford Gaol, we see the great religious figure, John
Bunyon who wrote Pilgrim‘s Progress as subject. He is shown here at Bedford Gaol, a prison,
which is where he wrote his great book while being held there for twelve years due to his
non-conformist beliefs. Harvey‘s works are known for their Scotch fervor, with bold and
deep colors and lines; this painting is no exception.
32
Title: Landina Herring, Lands End, Cornwall
Artist: Richard Henry Carter (1839-1911)
Richard Henry Carter was born in Truro in 1839 and became one of the buyers in
Cornwall of copper for the smelting firm, Vivian & Sons, Swansea. After quite a few years,
Carter gave up this career and devoted himself entirely to his painting. Carter‘s early works
were mostly of sea nd coastal subjects in watercolors, but later he began to paint figures and
use oil paints. Carter‘s influences included Charles Napier Hemy, whose style and subjects
he greatly admired. Many of Carter‘s best works were painted in Scotland and the Shetland
Isles.
Carter exhibited in the Royal Academy for eleven years and for eighteen years at the
New Watercolour Society, now known as the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours.
Carter‘s watercolours were often extremely large, over six feet long. Landina Herring, Lands
End, Cornwall is a watercolor that was painted on paperboard and heightened with white.
33
Title: Le Penseur
Artist: Emile Louis Picault (1833-1915)
Emile Louis Picault was trained under the Dutch sculptor, Louis Royer. Picault
exhibited at the Salon between the years 1863 and 1909, Picault was a prolific artist of
bronze and plaster sculptures, whose subjects were often patriotic or allegorical. His most
popular subjects were those of Egyptian origin. Egypt was exceedingly popular as a
decorative subject in Paris at the time.
Inscribed on the tablet: E. Picault, Le Penseur; c‘est sur les haults sommes que le
penseur medite, which translates to ―It‘s in the lofty places that the thinker meditates.
34
Lithograph Collection
Chartres Cathedral, Notre Dame De Noyon Cathedral
Around the University Center Learning Commons, there is a beautiful collection of twentysix lithographs, part of the Darrell Sechrest Permanent Collection at High Point University. These
extremely detailed prints were etched from engraved plates of the Chartres and De Noyon Cathedrals
in France. These pieces are between 75-125 years old and were acquired by Mr. Sechrest from George
Connor. Mr. Connor was an architect in High Point and art collector who purchased this collection
in France in the 1960s. The collection was purchased by Mr. Sechrest who later generously donated
the lithographs to High Point University in 1992.
Twenty-six of the original thirty-two pieces were chosen to add to the Learning Commons art
display. The majority of the lithographs were originally engraved on plates by either E. Ollivier or
Lessus.
About Chartres Cathedral:
Chartres Cathedral
Chartres Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral located about 50 miles southwest of Paris in
Chartres, and is one of the most gorgeous examples of gothic architecture in existence. On the site
there have been five or more actual cathedrals over many years. Due to fire or war, the cathedral has
been rebuilt, replacing a smaller building at least five times since the eighth century. While there
have been some changes and repairs made, the cathedral has been much the same structure since the
year 1260.
In the year 876, Charles the Bald gave the Cathedral one of the most precious holy relics
known to Christianity, the Sancta Camisia, which is thought to be the veil worn by the Virgin Mary
when she gave birth to Jesus. Visitors to Chartres can still view this relic.
35
Chartres is a masterpiece of holy sculptures, stained glass, and gothic structure. There is a beautiful
book about the history and art of the Chartres Cathedral available for viewing in the Learning
Commons.
Those interested in catching a glimpse of the splendor of the magnificent stained glass from
Chartres may visit nearby Wesley Memorial Methodist Church in High Point, NC. The windows of
this local church were designed in the same style as that of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries
epitomized in Chartres, with rich colors and symbolic imagery.
About Notre Dame de Noyon Cathedral:
Notre Dame de Noyon Cathedral
The Cathedral de Notre Dame de Noyon is in the town of Noyon, which is in northern
France, and north-northeast of Paris. The town was at one time an ecclesiastical center for France,
and this can be perhaps seen in the beautiful Cathedral. The church you see in the picture above is
actually the fifth place of worship to be built on the site, and had to be restored when it suffered
heavy damage during World War I.
Pieces included in the Learning Commons:
The lithographs are next described individually. They are numbered beginning on the right
side of the double-doors and continuing in a counter-clockwise fashion all the way around the
Learning Commons and ending at the reference desk.

Haitian Painting Collection
This collection of colorful and evocative Haitian art was acquired by Darrell Sechrest and donated to
High Point University in 2000-2002. The collection comprises two schools of painting. One is more
formalized and the other more primitive. Eleven Haitian artists are represented in the collection.
Each painting is unique and vibrant; many tell stories about life in Haiti; some are more whimsical.
These pieces were mostly painted in the 1970s. Visual arts in Haiti have gained increasing attention
since the 1940s. Around this time, a group of self-taught artists gathered and experimented in the
capital of Haiti, Port-au-Prince. In 1944, this group opened the Centre d‘Art, which houses works by
many of the greatest Haitian artists in various mediums.
The pieces in the Sechrest collection are indicative of the dominant styles of painting in Haiti.
Artists are listed below the paintings, which are in order as you enter the glass room, and turn left,
proceeding in a clockwise direction around the room.
The paintings depict scenes of everyday life in Haiti, as well as Haitian landscape views.

Title: From Cave to Space – The Evolution of Communication and
French Cave Painting Reproductions
Artist: Vivian Robinson
In 2009, Darrell Sechrest donated four reproductions of ancient French cave paintings
by local artist Vivian Robinson to the University. These beautiful paintings are on display in
the Nido R. Qubein School of Communications. In turn, the artist was inspired to create and
donate a special piece to the University.
This painting, entitled From Cave to Space – The Evolution of Communication,
includes the building of the School of Communications along with depictions of the types of
communication throughout history beginning with cave paintings and going all the way
through the Hubble telescope and communication satellites. Robinson most often paints
landscapes, seascapes or portraits and took painstaking effort to create this collage of
communication.
Robinson grew up in New Jersey and received a scholarship to art school. Her
interests and work travelled from illustrations to photography and finally to painting. Her
works may be viewed at The Art Nest in Jamestown

About the Robert J. Brown Art Collection:
In 2009, Mr. Robert J. Brown generously contributed a large selection of
paintings and sculptures to High Point University to supplement the
University‘s permanent art collection.
Mr. Brown is the Chairman and CEO of B&C Associates, a management
consulting, marketing research, and public relations firm headquartered in
High Point, NC.
On his world travels, Mr. Brown visited many different nations, and collected
numerous paintings and sculptures. This outstanding collection can now be
viewed in various buildings on the High Point University campus. The African
sculptures collected by Mr. Brown have found a home in the University Center
Learning Commons.
Most of these sculptures are from a collection entitled The Mahlakasela
Collection. The represented artists from this collection are from a tribe called
Venda, which resides in the Limpopo region of South Africa. Since the 18th
century, the Venda people have withstood great hardship, but have retained
their culture and heritage throughout the years.
You may also view Mr. Brown‘s collection of African painting on the walls of
the second floor of the University Center.
Several exquisite Chinese paintings are displayed in the Nido Qubein School of
Communications. Other artifacts and paintings from Mr. Brown‘s collection
will be exhibited soon throughout High Point University.

Artist: Tshivhangwaho Hendrick
Nekhofhe
Lead wood sculpture
11 x 25 x 10 in.
Title: Life Terminal
Artist: Tshivhangwaho Hendrick Nekhofhe
Lead wood sculpture
19 in. high
Born in 1956 in Venda, which is a tribal state in South Africa, Tshivhangwaho Hendrick
Nekhofhe is a gifted sculptor of mostly wooden pieces. His works often depict figures of his
people, but many are abstract in nature. Hendrick Nekhofhe excelled at drawing as a young
man, and today many of his sculptures begin as drawings. Inspired by his Sunday School
teacher, Rina Rudolph, who helped him focus on his work and assisted him with promoting
his sculptures, Nekhofhe‘s sculptures are now seen throughout the world. He began by
selling his pieces along the road, and now his sculptures are parts of university and private
collections and are exhibited throughout South Africa.
High Point University owns two sculptures by Nekhofhe.
In The Old Man, we see a polished and evocative depiction of an old man carrying a bundle
over his shoulder. The piece is made of lead wood, often used by Nekhofhe.
In Life Terminal, we see a terribly powerful portrayal of the hanging rope, also made of lead
wood.

Title: Large Venda Drum
Artist: Samson Mudzunga
Wood/hide
22 ½ x 29 x 26 ½ in.
Samson Mudzunga was born on December 24, 1938 in Venda, South Africa. As a youth, he
enjoyed carving wood and molding clay, but Mudzunga stopped carving in 1956 when he
moved to Johannesburg and started working as a driver. After eight years of work,
Mudzunga picked up his art again, to great success. He was given his first exhibition in 1988
and again in 1989. After his second exhibition, Mudzunga devoted himself full-time to
sculpting figures, animals, and most famously, traditional drums. Mudzunga utilizes his
drums in performances, which incorporate the beliefs and traditions of the Venda people.
Mudzunga now lives with his wife and eight children back in the Venda region. His works
have been purchased and widely acclaimed all over the globe. In 2006, Mudzunga had a solo
exhibition in New York at the Jack Shainman gallery. For this event, the artist held a
performance at his home to mark the drums‘ leaving their native area.
High Point University is the proud owner of one of Mudzunga‘s traditional Venda drums.
64
Title: Untitled Clay Figurine # 1
Artist: Noria Mabasa
Clay
15 x 15 x 14 in.
The only woman from the group of artists represented in our collection of South African
sculptures is Noria Mabasa, who was born in 1938. Mabasa worked until the 1970s as a cook
for a farmer living in Louis Trichardt, South Africa. Her career took off in the later 1970s
when she devoted herself to sculpting and moved to live and work in Tshino Village, Venda.
Mabasa mainly works with clay, and follows a very traditional method for her work. She
harvests the clay from the banks of a nearby river and fires her pieces by building an open
straw fire around them. Mabasa‘s themes are often about the anxiety experienced by women
who wait in rural villages for their husbands to return from town.
Mabasa‘s credits include many exhibitions in South Africa and her pieces can be seen in
museums and private collections all over the world.
In Untitled Figurine # 1, her piece on display in the Learning Commons, you can see a
beautifully worked piece, representative of her culture and what appears to be an abstract of
a mother with her child.
65
Title: Mother and Child
Artist: Ramathihela Maimane
Railway clipper tie
23.6 in. high
Ramathihela Maimane is a part-time painter and sculptor who lives in Pimville in South
Africa, and works in the town of Soweto as a teacher. Maimane creates portraits, and
abstracts with pastels and pencils, and sculpts from both wood and stone.
Interested in art since he was a toddler, Maimane studied sculpture and art history at Ndaleni
Technical College for a year. However, until somewhat recently, Maimane was
undiscovered due to his dislike for exhibition.
Mother and Child is carved from a wooden railway clipper tie, and shows a very abstract
depiction of a woman and her infant.
66
Title: Rabela (Pray)
Artist: Richard Mangoma
Kiaat wood
23 ½ in. high
Richard Mangoma was born in the Venda village of Tshakhuma in 1953 and taught himself
to sculpt in wood. Mangoma is known for looking at the natural shape of a piece of wood
and finding the perfect way to sculpt it based on what he sees there. Often, what he sees in
the wood is reflective of everyday images in the artist‘s life.
Pray is a beautifully sculpted piece of Kiaat wood, in which the artist brought to life a man
praying. The grain and shapes are exquisitely detailed.
Mangoma‘s works have been showcased in exhibitions in the Venda region.

Bronze Sculpture Collection on HPU Grounds
Sculptor: Jon Hair
Walk anywhere on High Point University‘s campus and you will see the
beautiful bronze sculptures of Jon Hair, North Carolina artist. Hair began his
artistic career as a fine arts major at Ohio State University and the Columbus
College of Art and Design. From there, he went on to teach art at the
University of Akron and became a renowned art director and designer with
clients like IBM, General Electric, and many others. Also a talented musician,
Hair has performed with such notables as Jimi Hendrix and Simon and
Garfunkel. Hair began his sculpting career in 1999, and since then, he has been
commissioned all over the United States for major public art pieces.
Perhaps his most famous piece was a 35 foot sculpture he created for the
US Olympic Training Center, entitled ―Olympic Strength,‖ sculpted from
bronze and showing four Olympic athletes lifting an enormous globe on their
shoulders. Numerous other businesses, universities, and individuals have
commissioned sculptures for their campuses.
Jon Hair currently works in his 7,000 square foot studio in Cornelius, NC.
At present, you can view seventeen of Jon Hair‘s impressive sculptures on the
High Point University Campus.

cooperation and the need for human interaction in order to better oneself and the
community.
89
Title: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Location: Qubein School of Communications
King was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia to a loving, educated, middle class AfricanAmerican family. As a young man, he decided to follow in his father‘s footsteps to become a
Baptist minister. In 1953, he married Coretta Scott and they had four children. While
pastoring in Alabama, he led the Montgomery Bus Boycott that finally desegregated that
city‘s transit system. After that success, he formed the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference and began promoting civil rights through nonviolent protests like sit-ins and
protest marches, including the huge March on Washington in 1963. It was there that he
delivered his famous ―I have a dream‖ speech. King was an eloquent and compelling speaker
and brought civil rights issues, especially in the South, to the center of the nation‘s attention.
Despite setbacks, his efforts helped lead to the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the
Voting Rights Act of 1965. Before he was assassinated in 1968, he turned his attention to
addressing the needs of all poverty stricken people.
In 1964, he received the Nobel Peace Prize. Numerous schools and roads have been
named in his honor. The United States Congress established a national holiday bearing his
name on the third Monday in January. Studies of King‘s life and work, as well as his
writings, are available at Smith Library.
90
Title: George Washington
Location: Qubein School of Communications
George Washington was born in 1732 in colonial Virginia. Always fond of the
outdoors, and a hard worker, Washington began his adult life as a surveyor before becoming
an attentive and innovative gentleman farmer, and serving with distinction as an officer in
the French and Indian War. In the 1760s and early 1770s he became more and more upset
about England‘s treatment of the colonies, eventually declaring himself ready to lead troops.
As a delegate to both the First and Second Continental Congress, he proved himself
invaluably knowledgeable on military matters, and he was unanimously elected commander
in chief of the colonial military forces. The fighting was extremely hard, and while he made
some significant mistakes, it was mainly Washington‘s sense and dedication that brought the
final American victory. After many difficult years at war, he returned to his estate, Mount
Vernon, where he focused on farming and hosting guests with his wife Martha. He returned
to political life to campaign for constitutional ratification, and he was then unanimously
elected as the first president of the United States, which he reluctantly accepted.
Washington acted cautiously and with neutrality during his presidency, but refused a third
term after his first 8 years in office. He died in 1799 and is remembered as the father of his
country. The new capital was named for him; later a state was named in his honor.
91
Title: Amelia Earhart
Location: Wilson School of Commerce
Amelia Earhart was the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean, and one of
the most celebrated aviators of all time. Amelia Earhart was born in Atchison, Kansas in
1897 and learned to fly against the advice of her family in 1920. Her famous flight across the
Atlantic took place in the record time of 14 hours 56 minutes on May 20-21, 1932. During
her lifetime, Earhart contributed to the development of commercial aviation as well as being
a major advocate for women in the field of aviation. Earhart also claims the distinction of
being the first pilot to fly successfully from California to Hawaii. In July, 1937, Earhart set

Title: Galileo
Location: Wilson School of Commerce
Often called the ―Father of Modern Science,‖ Galileo Galilei was born in Pisa, Italy in
1564 and died in 1642. During his lifetime, Galileo developed the scientific method, and
made essential contributions to the sciences of astronomy and motion. He was also a great
natural philosopher, who changed the study of nature from mere description to the use of
experimentation. Galileo is perhaps best known for his development of the telescope, and
his discoveries of heavenly bodies, such as the four moons of Jupiter and the phases of Venus,
which gave indirect support for the Copernican theory. The Inquisition provided problems
for Galileo, as the Copernican theory was denounced as heresy. He was convicted of heresy
in 1633, and carried out the rest of his life under house arrest, during which time he
continued to work on his theories of motion and the strength of materials. To avoid death he
recanted his beliefs, though he is said to have muttered under his breath (when asked to
deny that the earth revolves around the sun) ―It still moves.‖
Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences and other writings of Galileo may be found
in Smith Library.

Title: John Wesley
Location: Kester International Promenade
The founder of the modern Methodist church, John Wesley was born in 1703 in
Epworth, Lincolnshire, England. He attended Oxford University and became an ordained
priest in the Church of England in 1728. In 1729, he began working with a group called The
Holy Club that became known as ―Methodists‖ because of their disciplined study and piety.
Although this first group disbanded, Wesley developed a new mission through studying
Martin Luther‘s commentary on The Letter of Paul to the Galatians as well as his relationship
with the Moravian Church. Wesley‘s new mission was that of declaring the good news of
salvation through belief. He was so enthusiastic, however, that the Church of England
rejected him. Wesley, however, continued his work, especially ministering to the poor who
were at that time neglected by the Church of England. Throughout the rest of his life,
Wesley travelled widely, preaching to many different groups and publishing, in 1743, the
Rules for Methodism. Wesley died in 1791 in London, leaving behind many new Methodist
societies in England as well as in the New World.
The Works of John Wesley can be found in Smith Library.

Title: Aristotle
Aristotle was a great philosopher and scholar in ancient Greece and many of his
concepts remain relevant to intellectuals today. He created a system for formal logic, and
established the field of zoology. The philosophy of Aristotle in the areas of ethics, political
theory, metaphysics, and general science remains fundamental today. Students of literature
are indebted to his Poetics for the first literary criticism and the concepts of the ―tragic flaw‖
and ―hubris‖ in the tragic hero. Born in Macedonia in 384 BC, Aristotle joined the Academy
of Plato, where he remained a student and colleague to Plato for many years. Later, he
served as personal tutor to Alexander the Great and founded his own school, The Lyceum. It
is said that Alexander, as he went conquering the world, would send specimens of unusual
animals to his old tutor. Aristotle died in 322 BC, leaving behind only about one-fifth of his
original works.
Aristotle‘s surviving works as well as biographies of the philosopher can be located in
Smith Library.
95
Title: William Shakespeare
Considered by many to be the greatest writer of all time in the English language,
William Shakespeare will forever be remembered through his thirty-seven plays, 154
sonnets, and other poems. ‗The Bard,‘ as he is known today, was born in Stratford-uponAvon in 1564 and died in 1616, leaving a body of work that would transcend languages and
cultures in the centuries to come. The most famous of his works, the plays, were written for
the small repertory theatre company that Shakespeare was part of, The King‘s Men, who
performed at the Globe Theatre. Shakespeare‘s works have survived so long because of the
immense wit of the playwright and his ability to reproduce humanity on the stage.
The Complete Works of William Shakespeare may be found in Smith Library.

Title: Mark Twain
Mark Twain (pseudonym of Samuel Langhorne Clemens) was the well-known
American humorist who authored the enduring novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He also wrote travel narratives such as The Innocents
Abroad and Following the Equator and humorous or satirical works like The Gilded Age and
The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg. Born in 1835 and raised in Missouri along the
Mississippi river, as a young man he worked a series of odd jobs around the country which
would later influence his writing. It was not until age 37 that Twain pursued writing as his
vocation. He is now remembered and studied for his mastery of spoken language, his
treatment of race and prejudice, ―his ability to swiftly and convincingly create a variety of
fictional characters,‖ and his uniquely American point of view.
Twain‘s autobiography, several biographies, and his writings are available at Smith
Library.

Title: Madame Curie
The first woman to win a Nobel Prize, Marie Curie won two of them in different
fields. Born in Poland 1867, Marie Sklodowska moved to France in 1891 to attend school at
the Sorbonne. Fascinated by and excelling in her studies, Sklodowska met and married the
chemist, Pierre Curie, forming the partnership that would achieve significant results.
Together, the Curies discovered the elements, radium and polonium and won the Nobel
Prize for Physics in 1903. After the sudden death of her husband, Madame Curie devoted
herself solely to her work, becoming the first woman to teach in the Sorbonne. In 1911, her
efforts paid off a second time when she was presented the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the
isolation of pure radium. Later, Curie went on to contribute significantly to developing use
of X-rays. The Curie Foundation in Paris and the Radium Institute in Warsaw were founded
during her lifetime. Today, both are known as The Curie Institute. Although, Marie Curie
died in 1934, her research lives on today in the work of nuclear physicists and chemists the
world over.
Biographies of Marie Curie may be found in Smith Library.
98
Title: Thomas Jefferson
Born in Virginia in 1743, Thomas Jefferson was a central political figure during the
early years of the United States of America, and is remembered especially for penning these
words, ―We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal; that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.‖ He was the main writer of the Declaration of Independence,
first Secretary of State, second Vice President, and third President. Jefferson strongly
supported separation of church and state. In his other ideals, Jefferson was a man of
contradictions; he wrote of equality, but was a slave owner; he advocated freedom of
expression, but sought punishment for attacks on him by the press; he argued for limited
executive powers, but as president conducted the Louisiana Purchase. Education was as
important to him as politics, and he founded the University of Virginia in 1819. He died at
Monticello, the home he designed, in 1826.
99
Title: Rosa Parks
Location: KesterInternational Promenade
"Our mistreatment was just not right, and I was tired of it." Rosa Parks was born
in Tuskegee Alabama in 1913 and died in 2005. She is remembered as the seamstress who
would not give up her bus seat to a white man. Her bravery was championed by the civil
rights movement and notably Martin Luther King. Her action provided the catalyst for the
Montgomery Alabama bus boycott; one of the first salvos in the American civil rights
movement. Honored in many ways, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the
Congressional Gold Medal of Honor. Her autobiography is called Rosa Parks: My Story and is
available at Smith Library.

Title: Mahatma Gandhi
Also known as Mahatma (―great-souled‖) Gandhi, he is considered to be the father of
his country for his leadership of the Indian movement against British rule. He was born in
1869 to a local government minister and a deeply religious mother. After earning a law
degree in England, he went to South Africa and encountered prejudice against Indians that
stirred his political abilities. He led efforts to protect Indians‘ rights and developed
satyagraha (―devotion to truth‖) a method of nonviolent protest that invited suffering. In
1919, having returned to India, he directed a ground-breaking protest movement against the
British authorities there. Facing imprisonments and setbacks along the way, in the 1930s he
began his ―constructive programme‖ focusing on education and employment for rural
Indians. Finally, in 1947, India achieved freedom, though Gandhi continued to campaign for
peace between opposing groups of Indians. He died in 1948 after being shot by a Hindu
fanatic.
Books of his writings, as well as many resources about his life and work, are available
at Smith Library.

High Point University Building Paintings
Artist: Mary Bogest
Born in Iowa, Mary moved to High Point about twelve years ago from New York. Although always
having an interest in painting, it wasn‘t until moving to High Point that she first picked up a paint brush and
hasn‘t laid it down since. Although inspired by the French Impressionists, Mary has developed her own style
combining the influence of the impressionist with a touch of realism. She primarily is known for landscapes
and architecture of High Point and coastal North Carolina.
With a deep sense of community Mary has created many art projects including a multi-dimensional
mural for the YWCA of High Point using ceramics made by developmentally challenged participants of
LifeSpan and painted by children in the afternoon program of YWCA. Another project included a three
paneled painting by cancer patients as they were undergoing chemotherapy. This painting hangs in the Cancer
Center at High Point Regional Hospital. In addition her paintings of historic High Point landmarks have been
used as a fundraiser for Open Door Ministries for their homeless shelter, food bank, Fathers Table and other
programs which help the needy in our community.
Eleven of her paintings were featured as set dressing for the television feature film ―Above Suspicion‖
starring Scott Bakula. Continuing with the community theme, Mary serves on several boards including the
Children‘s Cabinet and Junior League Advisory Board. Community is also the central theme of her weekly
newspaper column ―About Town‖ in the High Point Enterprise. The column features happenings, events and
people in the High Point community. High Point University has been in the past and continues to provide an
infinite amount of ―good news‖ events for ―About Town.‖
Mary‘s commissioned original works are in many private and corporate collections including High
Point University President Dr. Nido Qubein and First Lady Mariana Qubein, Sealy Mattress Inc. for a national
promotional campaign, German billionaire industrialist Georg Schaeffler, Mark and Rena Norcross who are the
namesakes for the Norcross Graduate School and many others. Prints of Mary‘s work are featured in the High
Point Chamber of Commerce and many other businesses including the mayor‘s office at High Point City Hall.
Mary grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and graduated from the University of Iowa with a B.A. in
Education. She met her husband Stanley during the filming of the movie ―F.I.S.T.‖ starring Sylvester Stallone
while she was working as a communications account executive. Consequently she moved to New York and
became involved in the television and film industry working as a production accountant or assistant. Her
credits under her maiden name include the Gentleman Bandit starring Ralph Waite and several afternoon
specials. Fate brought the Bogests to North Carolina and it was that same fate that miraculously let Mary
discover her love of painting.
Mary enjoys embracing the wonderment of life whether it be reading a good book, listening to
raindrops pitter patter on the window sill, tending her garden, taking up the game of golf again, playing with
her dog Muffin or just just seeing all of the beauty around her.
Mary Bogest has painted many of the buildings on campus. These are shown and listed on the next
pages, and located in the building they represent.

Location: Charles E. and Pauline Hayworth Fine Arts Center
Title: Tapestries.
These Aubusson carpets and tapestries represent a form of handwoven textile art that
originated in 1580 in the villages of Aubusson and Felletin, which are located in the
department of Creuse in central France. In the 17th century under Louis XIV, the villages of
Aubusson and Felletin were given ―Royal Appointment‖ status thereby making carpets and
tapestries for the French royal residences. The world Aubusson refers to a handmade, flatwoven, pile-less carpet or tapestry. These pieces are usually of a considerable size.
In the 1930s, Aubusson tapestries made their comeback when Cocteau, Dufy, Dali, Braque,
Calder, and Picasso were invited to express themselves through the medium of wool.
These Aubusson carpets and tapestries were handmade in China following the same
techniques and procedures established in France centuries ago. They were donated to High
Point University by Mr. Zaki Khalifa of Zaki Oriental Rugs in High Point, NC.

Reverse Glass Painting
American
1830-1850
Donor: Betsy and Joe Byerly
―Reverse glass painting‖, verre eglomise, on glass is a very old form of art and has been
popular for many centuries. Viewing a reverse-glass painting does not really show how
complex this method is to produce. Paint and designs are applied to the back of glass panes
and the image must be built up in reverse - highlights first and backgrounds last. Reverse
painting is designed to be viewed through the glass so the decoration is applied in reverse
order.
Reverse painting was popular in the Mediterranean and was frequently used by
Roman artist in ornamental paintings. It became popular in the United States during the
early to mid 1800s. Reverse painting was used as a decorative motif and could be seen on
household items such as tables and clocks. Subjects of this American version of reverse
painting were often well known figures such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.

Portrait of President Robert M. Andrews, D.D.
Term: 1924-1930
Location: University Center, 4th Floor Presidents‘ Club – Hall of Presidents
It was Robert Macon Andrews who in a 1920 report to the North Carolina Annual
Conference stated ―we should either move forward or declare our intention to give up the good hope‖
of establishing a Methodist Protestant college in the state of North Carolina. Because of Andrews‘
leadership, a new committee was formed and Greensboro, Burlington and High Point submitted bids
to host the new academic venture. In May of 1921, Andrews and committee members accepted the
offer of 60 acres and $100,000 from the city of High Point and High Point College was born. With the
completion of Roberts Hall at a cost of $120,000 in 1923, the college had all that it needed;
classrooms, a library, a kitchen with dining area and even a small auditorium. Though Andrews‘ term
was one of constant financial struggle, he set the college on a course to a very bright future. Andrews
remained as a trustee until 1936.

housing a bookstore and meeting place. After overseeing the trying times of World War II and the
flood of new students at the close of the war, Humphreys left the school one year shy of his
retirement date.

Portrait of President Dennis H. Cooke, Ph.D.
Term: 1949-1959
In his inauguration address in 1950, Dennis H. Cooke, the third president of the school and
the first that was not a minister, stated that High Point College ―must ‗get better‘ before we have a
right to ‗get bigger‘‖. He followed up on this promise and gained accreditation for the college from
the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and from the University Senate of the Methodist
Church. During his tenure he doubled the endowment, eradicated deficit spending and many new
buildings were completed. Building projects included the renovations and additions to dormitory
space, the completion of Memorial Auditorium where the Tower Players performed ―Our Town‖ in
1954 and with financial help from the Methodist College Foundation a new science building was
added to the campus and later named Cooke Hall in his honor. Football was discontinued but the first
basketball game played in the new Alumni Gymnasium was a win over Erskine College in 1957 after
Harrison Gym was deemed unsuitable for expansion. An addition to Wrenn Library was completed as
was an addition to the Student Center. Under Cooke, the curriculum evolved with addition of many
new faculty, whose numbers increased from 38 to 55 and Cooke oversaw the creation of two new
departments; Fine Arts and Sociology. In 1959 he resigned as president of the college but continued
on as the head of Teacher Education.

completion of the Hayworth Hall of Science in the early 1970s. An infirmary was also constructed
and during family weekend in the fall of 1972 parents was able to enjoy the new student center later
named for trustee Holt McPherson. Space in the old student center was converted to a theater. As a
part of the Golden Decade campaign and with a generous donation from Charles Hayworth, the
chapel held its first services in December of 1972. Patton oversaw the development and then the
success of the Evening Degree Program which brought needed revenue to the school. Faculty
numbers increased to 72 and many changes occurred with the curriculum but one of the more
interesting changes had to be the elimination of Saturday classes! President Patton‘s health became an
issue and in 1980 a committee was formed to search for a new president.

many academic buildings including Women‘s Dorm now McEwen, an extensive remodel of the
Alumni Gymnasium to the new Millis Athletic Convocation Center and the building of the Winston
Salem campus in support of the Continuing Adult Education Program. In 1991 trustees of the college

notable achievements included were the many changes to the curriculum such as a strengthening of
the core curriculum and in 1993 the school offered its first graduate degree in management. Before

Title: Portrait of Plato S. Wilson
Artist: Doug Peninger
Location: Plato S. Wilson School of Commerce
Plato S. Wilson was born in Morganton, NC in 1925. One of his first customers was Henry
Wilson of Henredon. Plato's initial turndown by Henry Wilson was overcome, and Henry Wilson
bought not one but two pages of advertising for Plato's high school yearbook. When Plato graduated
from Duke, Henry Wilson was there and offered him a job selling furniture, and a brand new car.
That was the first of only two jobs in Plato's career … the other was with Henkel Harris. Although
his Southeastern territory was small and average, he consistently worked so hard and trained his
retailer sales people so well that he overwhelmed the competition. He produced several ten million
dollar years and even scored a one million dollar day. After 2.6 million miles traveled, and life sales of
$154 million, Plato has written an autobiography, "A Dream to Sell" which is a "how to" manual
woven into the story of his life. Plato Wilson is the archetype of the "Successful
Salesman"...representing the forty or fifty thousand of those who carried bags along side him during
almost fifty years. He has served on the High Point Board of the Salvation Army for twenty years
receiving their highest award, "The Others". He has contributed substantially to High Point
University‘s Home Furnishings Program.
Mr. Wilson‘s portrait was painted by local artist, Doug Peninger.

Description: Framed collections of bonds, stocks, and money
Location: Plato S. Wilson School of Commerce
Confederate Stock and Bonds
Displayed is a collection of Confederate bonds that were issued during the Civil War. Bond
offerings, such as the ones shown here, were a method used by the Confederate government
and by Confederate state governments to raise money for the war effort. These colorful
multi-sheet sets are quite rare and were donated to High Point University by Thurman C.
Lohr and his wife, Lake Montgomery Lohr, both from the High Point College class of 1936.
Stock certificates
Stock certificates that have been canceled or certificates of companies that have merged or
gone out of business are vigorously collected. These certificates represent a wide range of
industrial companies and show through the many illustrations the artistry that was involved
in crafting these documents. These colorful stock certificates are very collectible and were
donated to High Point University by Thurman C. Lohr and his wife, Lake Montgomery Lohr,
both from the High Point College class of 1936.
Stock certificates
164
Early industrial stock certificates are a real visual treat. Highly decorated and intricately
engraved they are symbolic of the industrial growth during this part of the nation‘s past. The
pictures included on the certificates show the idealized image of industrial and national
might. These stock certificates are very collectible and were donated to High Point
University by Thurman C. Lohr and his wife, Lake Montgomery Lohr, both from the High
Point College class of 1936.
Sheet of one dollar bills
This is a sheet of newly minted one dollar bills. Printed money goes through many processes
before it is ready for circulation. These bills are printed on special paper and then go through
several printings before they are finished. A finished stack of bills is then sorted and readied
to be cut apart. You can see the serial numbers on each bill and all the bills are numbered in
a like series. It seems as if the numbers on the bills would follow sequentially but they do
not. Can you think why there is such a large numeric gap between the numbers on each of
the bills? These bills were donated to High Point University by Thurman C. Lohr and his
wife, Lake Montgomery Lohr, both from the High Point College class of 1936.
