Lesley remembers colleague, professor, friend and mentor, Robert Kaufman


On January 8, 2010, Lesley and AIB lost an outstanding faculty member, academic administrator and artist, Professor Robert Kaufman, who was the longtime Chairperson of AIB's Illustration Department. Professor Kaufman was a well-known illustrator as well as author of the recently published book Blockology: An Offbeat Walking Guide to Lower Manhattan. He passed away after a long battle with cancer.


He was remembered by the Lesley and AIB community at a memorial service on February 10th, and an article featuring Robert’s works and life’s story was featured in the Boston Globe in January. The eulogies that follow were given at the funeral service and are featured for those who were not able to join us in remembering Robert. You may also add your own condolences and remarks to our remembrance of Robert on the AIB Illustration blog by clicking here.

For 50 years Mary Mindess has opened the minds and touched the lives of generations of Lesley students. One of her students, Carol Creelman Moriarty LC’74, now a Lesley Trustee, is paying a special tribute to Mary by asking you to make a gift to Lesley in her honor.
