“Carl’s Place” was long the front office of the UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures: It was here that Carl’s smile lit the day and his savvy saved the hour. Carl’s passing left a hole in our hearts, and yet we know he’s watching what we’re up to. To help keep Carl in Carl’s Place, the noted Senegalese artist Assane Dione was invited to paint his portrait of Carl from a joyous photograph taken by Judy Mitoma. Assane visited UCLA in 2003 as one of the artists brought from Senegal to participate in educational programming for the Fowler Museum’s exhibition “A Saint in the City: Sufi Arts of Urban Senegal” co-curated by Polly Nooter Roberts and Al Roberts. Assane met Carl then, and was pleased to paint his portrait. Come see Carl in Carl’s Place: His smile will make your day.
