LIEDTKE--Walter. The Advisory Board of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College mourns deeply the passing of our longtime colleague and friend Walter Liedtke. For twenty-two years he helped guide the professional management of the museum with excellent and insightful advice at all...
Read MoreWalter was my art history teacher when I was 19 and going to FSU´s branch in Florence in 1970. He was the first scholarly sophisticated person I ever met. So charming and funny and kind. I will always remember him and I keep his books (Vermeer!) at hand on my shelves in New York. You were a special teacher, Walter. Inspiring!

"What shall I paint on the walls of the tomb of the one I love?" (Walt Whitman). I did not know Walter Liedtke, so how can I love him? Because of what he represented to me as a Renaissance scholar and as a person who cared more for art history than for his own image in the world. He succeeded where I have too often failed.

I remember him from my summers on Block Island when I was young. I was good friends with his younger sister Lois aka Gina.
