Sabbath Loaf and Transit Stop Passersby Alongside Straus

Two sculptures surprised and intrigued everyone on campus this spring. They are the works of sculptors from the Class of 1966. Sabbath Loaf, by Murray “Mac” Dewart and Transit, by Walter Horak helped commemorate Mac’s and Walter’s 45th Reunion this year. In the weeks leading up to Graduates’ Weekend, both pieces adorned the green space between Wigglesworth Hall and Straus Library, just off the pathway.

Mac Dewart’s work is represented in several permanent collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the DeCordova, and the Rose Art Museum. His work is also represented at several colleges and universities, including Hamilton College, Harvard University, Saint Anselm College and Smith College. After Milton, Mac graduated from Harvard University and the Massachusetts College of Art. He is a co-founder of the Boston Sculptors Gallery.

Walter has exhibited throughout the United States and has received numerous awards for his art. His work is represented at several galleries across the
country, and Walter has included teaching in his sculpting career, including at the Charles River School, Mass College of Art, Storm King School and Milton Academy. After Milton, Walter graduated from Harvard University, Rhode Island School of Design, and University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.

Milton has welcomed the opportunity to show their art in the past, and both men were pleased to share, once again, their vision and expression with faculty, staff, students and fellow alumni.
