RETROSPECTIVE CATALOG A full-color thirty-six page retrospective catalog published to accompany the exhibition was made possible by the Towson University Art Department and the Holtzman Art Gallery, in addition to 114 individual donors and several organizations. John Blair Mitchell: A Retrospective, written by Eric Miller, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of the art department, art historian and painter, includes eleven pages of text illustrated throughout by nineteen examples of Dr. Mitchell's art. Forewards are written by the dean of Towson's College of Fine Arts and Communications, the Holtzman Gallery director, and the Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs of the Baltimore Museum of Art. A four page illustrated chronology plus individual listings of permanent collections, solo exhibitions, and awards, are included. The front and back cover illustrations show paintings which were done forty-five years apart.

As you look at the work, you say to yourself, 'so this is where I've been going'." -- John Blair Mitchell - In Print, Maryland Printmakers, "Exhibitions as Education", June 1992, Vol.3, #4 "The effects of labor should erase the appearance of labor." -- James McNeil Whistler
