Toilet Paper
No full textThis artwork was photographed and cataloged by Echo O'Connor (class of 2025) during the fall of 2024.Toilet Paper was painted in 2015 by Olivia Knauss, who graduated from Rhodes College with a BA in Art and Art History in 2015. Her artist statement reads: "I explore the physicality of paint through pours, brushed on patterns and other additive materials. Each painting provides an uninhibited opportunity to play with mark making and color with no start or outcome in mind. It grows outwards from the first compositional mark, always being cognizant of the edges and the overall balance of forms. Through the work, I investigate the development of tension both in the formal making and the product.

Holditch graduated from Southwestern at Memphis with the class of 1955, and worked as a Tennessee Williams scholar in his role on the faculty at the University of New Orleans.This dynamic and surreal piece by Tennessee Williams features two yellow figures set against a bold red background. The piece was made using oil paint and pencil. On the left, the upper body of one figure hangs upside down, creating an unsettling and disorienting effect. To the right, a nude yellow figure with its back to the viewer dominates the composition, their limbs stretched across the canvas from the lower left to the upper right. Radiating from the figures head and limbs are bursts of yellow and orange gestural brushstrokes, adding an energetic sense of motion. Below the central figure, the French title "Les Etoiles d'un Cirque etrange (The Stars of a Strange Circus) hints at the bizarre and otherworldly nature of the scene. The painting is signed"T.W." in the bottom right corner. On the back, Williams" signature appears in red, alongside a"Pyramid" tag marking the piece as Lot No. 108C, Piece 3. A paper tag attached to the hanging wire reads"TL6.1994.1 / Robert Hines - Jack Fricks," further linking the work to its provenance
