Pittman, who has been credited
by Life magazine as an outstand

individually.
By comparing two of the most
famous still life nainters, Picasso
and Chardin, Pitman described
in detail the elements that can be
seen in a bowl of fruit.•
Pittman admitted he could

still ignore his 25 years as an art
teacher here at the University,

than teaching," he said. "It is
better to let a student have his
own 'moment of discovery' than
to try to push it upon him."
Pittman is not only a teacher

The lecture was part of the open
