Congratulations to Peggy Christensen and Associate Dean Ebarb for correctly guessing Diego Rivera last week. We hope everyone is having a great start to their fall semester as we head into the 4th week (time flies)! Today’s Mystery Monday marks National Teddy Bear Day! Grab your childhood stuffed animal and squeeze them tight while you try to guess what title of work and artist featured in our collection created this bear print!

Answer:
If you guessed “Nanny and the Bear” by Katherine Rowbotham you are right!
This print was donated to the collection by the one and only Purdue professor emerita, Kathryn Reeves! This work is part of a series titled “Kathryn, A Printmaker” that features work by printmakers named Katherine, Kathryn, Catherine, and all other variations. It was conceived by previous Mystery Monday artist Melanie Yazzie and of course features Purdue’s Kathryn Reeves too!
