Title A name given to the resource Vietnam Peace Suite: Warrior's Dream Liberation: Peace at Last The Angel of Peace Covering a Calmer World The Prisoners are Free! Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dalí, Salvador, 1904-1989 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1973 Description An account of the resource Salvador Dalí’s “Vietnam Peace Suite” comprises four colored lithographs, produced in 1973 to celebrate the conclusion of the war in Vietnam. “Warrior’s Dream,” depicts horses with riders against a blue sky; “Peace at Last” depicts two figures with holes in the center of their bodies with a yellow and green background; “The Angel of Peace Covering a Calmer World” depicts a black and white angel with and green branches against a blue and yellow background; and “The Prisoners Are Free!” depicts a bent black and white figure at the left edge and a nude figure at the right. Each print is signed on the bottom right and produced by Fidelity World Arts Publisher. The suite of prints was given to the Library in July 1973 by a private donor and are each numbered 109/300 On original plaque: <blockquote>Salvador Dali Peace Suite Liberation: The Prisoners are Free Angel of Peace Covering a Calmer World Warrior’s Dream Peace at Last lithography 1973</blockquote> According to an article the Skokie Review (July 19, 1973, p. 12), the six-color lithographs were "[c]reated by the artist under exclusive commission to the Skokie-based [Fidelity World Arts]" and "express the hope and relief that Peace brings rather than dwelling on the tragedies of war." Further, "In the words of the artist, the 'Angel of Peace Covering a Calmer World,' means: <blockquote>The allusive but majestic Angel of Peace emerges from the chaos and clutter of war. Her action is poised to spread a calming influence across the world. Mankind will return to the way of Peace but he will not forget. The scars of war run deep. And the wreaths of Peace will be in the wind. The sky, a clear, clean blue... the fields - ochre and umber. The bright sun - yellow and warm again. But, she is illusive - and hard to hold. The Angel of Peace must rise and prevail.</blockquote> Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) is perhaps the most famous of the Surrealists. Throughout his career, he experimented with many forms of art, including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, writing, set design, and film making. Born and raised in Spain, he spent much of his life in France, moving to Paris in 1929 to join the French surrealist movement of the late-1920s and 1930s, but was later expelled from the group. His later life was fraught with controversy when the rights to his own work were sold leaving him with none of the profits. These prints are on display in the Computer Commons on the second floor.

Title A name given to the resource Zen Bench Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Unknown Artist Description An account of the resource The Zen Bench is constructed of granite and redwood in the style of traditional Japanese carpentry and the joints are clearly visible in a celebration of structure. The redwood base is notched and fitted, and the top is solid granite — two-thirds smooth and one-third rough-hewn. On the top surface of the bench, there is an indented area filled with polished stones in water, symbolizing tranquility. The bench was purchased and placed in the courtyard in 1999 as a memorial to Library staff member Steve Oserman. Steve began working in the Library as a shelver while in high school and continued during the summers while attending college and graduate school. Preferring library work to writing and teaching, he accepted a position as Reference Librarian. During the recession years of the 1980s, Steve and a colleague created an Employment Resource Center at the Library and he became widely known as the “job man,” was interviewed by local and national media, and spearheaded a national movement to encourage all libraries to develop services for those seeking employment. Later, with colleague Frances Roehm, Steve wrote the first book on Internet job searching. His death in 1998 prompted an outpouring of contributions to the Library, and it was decided to honor him with a lecture series and a piece of art. The Zen Bench was chosen because of Steve’s interest in Eastern thought and religion, and his love of the outdoors. The Zen Bench is outside on the north side of the library, along Oakton Street.
