Prof. Diane Levesque’s artwork highlighted in ‘The Creative Space’

Diane Levesque, associate professor of art, has been highlighted in the newly published book: “The Creative Space: The History of Wisconsin Art.”

After five years of research, authors Thomas D. Lidtke and Annemarie Sawkins published the book, which encompasses the 13,000-year history of art in Wisconsin — from the caves of prehistory in Prairie Du Chien; through the periods of French-Canadian exploration, British occupation, American territorial settlement and statehood; to our modern day.

Recognized in the book are works of art by more than 500 Wisconsin artists, including many of our most creative and talented stars whose contributions made them influential national figures, like wartime photojournalist Dickey Chapelle from Shorewood; Harvey Littleton, the studio glass innovator at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; and Owen Gromme, the “Dean of American Wildlife Artists,” from Fond du Lac.

The book was published by the Cedarburg Art Museum and is available online.
