RALPH MAYER LEARNING CENTER

Through the generosity of the late Bena Mayer, a painter and the widow of Ralph Mayer, author of The Artist’s Handbook of Techniques and Materials, The Painter’s Craft, and A Dictionary of Art Terms and Techniques, archives related to her husband’s research and writings have been given to the Yale University School of Art for the establishment of the Ralph Mayer Learning Center. The purpose of the Center is to support research and writing on the use of materials, and for the study of artists’ techniques in the field of drawing and painting. A seminar entitled “Techniques,” which has been part of the curriculum of the Yale School of Art for over fifty years, is augmented by the Center.
