Arnold Bittleman Drawing Collection

Our collection consists of over 15 drawings and prints created by Arnold Bittleman, a member of the Union College Faculty from 1966-1984 and founder of the Union College Studio Arts program. During his time at Union College, Bittleman taught drawing, painting, design, color theory, photography, and printmaking. In addition, he created event posters, designed and advised The Union Book, and organized concerts, film series, and lectures.

Bittleman’s own work was exhibited widely and regularly at numerous venues, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. He was educated at Yale University and studied under internationally known artist, Josef Albers.
