Robert Reed, professor of painting and ,director of undergraduate studies at the School of Art, received the Distinguished Teaching of Art Award at the annual meeting of the College Art Association (CAA) held in Seattle this February.
Reed, who holds a B.A. and M.A. from Yale, joined the painting faculty in 1969. He is a celebrated artist whose work has been featured at exhibitions across the country and Europe. The Whitney Museum of American Art hosted a solo exhibition of Reed's work, and his paintings are in its permanent collection, as well as those of the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
In presenting the teaching award to Reed, the award committee cited the impressive number of past students who had come forth to share their memories of him. The award citation notes: "Numerous former students, many now faculty members at important institutions ... wrote of how Reed changed their lives and influenced their own teaching practices, with energy, vigor, enthusiasm, generosity and passion."
It concludes, "[H]e is a teacher who rejects the notions of hierarchy between student and teacher, and at a school known nationally for its graduate program, distinguishes himself with his commitment to undergraduate education in art."
Reed is the fourth Yale faculty member to win the CAA Teaching Award. He follows Josef Albers, who won in 1965; Bernard Chaet in 1986; and Andrew Forge in 1988.
