As part of an effort to highlight art in Odum Library, we will be featuring weekly blog posts that tell the stories of the collections we have on display. We will also be profiling a few of the more interesting pieces from each collection as well. The first collection we will spotlight is the Lamar Dodd Collection, located primarily on the north side of the first floor of the library. This collection features works by Dodd, his daughter Irene, and several other artists that Dodd either worked with or admired. What follows is a biography of Dodd, a short background of the collection, and a few examples of notable pieces.
