Ralph Arnold 1928-2006 The Telly "T" colored etching 1971 signed, titled, dated, and numbered 45/65 Provenance: The Estate of Kathlyn "Elaine" Moragne. Ms. Moragne grew up near the Cabrini Green housing complex in Chicago. At a time when women, especially African American, experienced significant barriers to education, Elaine her BA in psychopathology from University of Illinois (1958) and her MS in clinical nutrition from Rush University. Throughout her life, Elaine demonstrated her commitment to the economic revitalization and cultural recognition of the Black community, spearheading the work of Southside bank, starting a radio station in Boston supporting the needs of minority residents, and serving on the Women's Board of the Chicago Urban League. She was involved with the South Side Community Art Center for 20 plus years, and supported the work of African American artists, both financially and in an administrative capacity. She helped establish the loaning program at the Art Institute of Chicago, allowing homeowners to borrow or rent certain works to display in their homes. We are indebted to Lisa Morange-Kayser, Elaine's daughter, for providing this information. Arnold produced a series of works with a T.V. theme, creating an abstract composition with the letters and "filling the letters with wavy lines that he found so beguiling when the television was off focus . Building on his earlier interest in hidden signifiers and continuing his fascination with the role of mass media in shaping public opinion, the T.V. Series uses what initially seems like formally rigorous and entirely abstract art to simultaneously comment on the role of television in daily life."
