Alumni in the News

Gerald McDermott

"McDermott's color magic, stylized figures and abstract motifs combine ancient imagery with contemporary design.  Creator of over twenty-five books and films, McDermott began studying art when he was admitted to class at one of the nation's finest museums, the Detroit Institute of Arts, when he was just four years old. He continued pursuing his passion for the visual arts at Cass Tech, a public high school for the gifted with an art curriculum based on Bauhaus principles."
