[Cal State Long Beach] Archive of Published Works and Ephemera by Professor, Peace Activist, Artist and Author Peter Carr Archive of 15 items by or about Peter Carr. Majority of items are in at least good condition. All show some amount of toning, slight soiling and wear. Collection was stored somewhat haphazardly and condition reflects this. Rare collection of Peter Carr publications and ephemera. There are numerous references to Carr's life and work on the internet. His friend, mentee and colleague and ZYZZYVA contributor Andrew Tonkovich writes in a program for an art show on Peter Carr: "Carr served in the U.S. Navy, earned a PhD at USC, was a Fulbright scholar in India, and co-founded the Comp Lit department at California State University at Long Beach. He joined peace and justice movements of the late 60s and 70s, protested the Diablo Canyon and San Onofre nuclear plants, and co-founded the Orange County chapter of the Alliance for Survival. A charismatic teacher, he led field trips to Disneyland and in between rides deconstructed its cooptation of myth, fairy tale, and archetypes. The artist, writer and activist Harry Lawson "Peter" Carr (1925-1981) struggled to discover meaning rediscover California, and invited others to rediscover political engagement, joyful resistance, revisionist and Left and Indigenous history, and each other. Before his death at age 55, he wrote, painted, and drew scenes celebrating our ecosystems (including his beloved Aliso Creek in Laguna Beach, the Santa Ana Mountains, Anza-Borrego Desert, and Sierra Nevada), but also documenting popular movements, real or imagined." Published works by Carr include "Aliso Creek", "In the Summer We Went to the Mountains", "What Will We Leave the Children?", "Messages" and "Bumpers Bugs USA". Copies of each of these are included in this archive. The program for a 2024 Peter Carr Retrospective notes: "Throughout his relatively short life (he died unexpectedly of a heart attack at just 56 years old), Harry Lawson "Peter" Carr created a seemingly endless array of idiosyncratic images, all constructed using his own distinctively evocative and expressionistic visual style. Carr would also frequently inscribe his drawings and paintings liberally with handwritten textual fragments, pulled from his own poetic compositions and meant to variously imply an internal monologue, overheard conversations, and/or omniscient narration." This collection also includes two single page printed pieces and a eulogy written by Carr for Sam Pollach. Plus, three printed items for Carr's memorial held February 20, 1981, a copy of the Daily Forty-Niner (Cal State Long Beach's Newspaper) announcing Carr's passing and finally two "Peter Carr Peace Center" items from 1991. Cal State Long Beach and Cal State Fullerton hold four of the published items in this archive. Only UCLA holds Bumpers Bugs USA. Copies appear in commerce infrequently with three of the five items currently available elsewhere.
