Series 3: Writings, 1932-1993
0.4 Linear feet
Box 3, OV 12

Most of this series consists of writings by Herman Maril, though there are some writings by others as well. Maril's writings include one journal and numerous handwritten and typescript drafts of artist statements, short stories, essays, and lectures. Most of the short stories seem to be inspired by Maril's World War II military service experiences, whereas the essays and lectures touch upon autobiographical subjects to thoughts on life in Baltimore, but mostly focus on art. Writings by others include essays on Herman Maril and a few essays on art that do not mention Maril.
The journal is at the beginning of the series and the rest of the writings by Maril are arranged in alphabetical order by title. The writings by others are grouped together towards the end of the series.
The bulk of the materials in this series have been digitized, except for duplicates.
