Representing thirty years of the artist’s solo work, this exhibit addresses several of the social commentary themes of this important, internationally acclaimed artist: power, violence, injustice and angst at the end of the millennium. Works from the artist’s New York studio.
Paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints by Julien Binford, Gaetano Cecere, Eric Isenberger, Elena Krupenski, John Lamph, Tetsuo Ochikubo, Eml Schnellock, and Dorothy Duggan Van Winckel
These artists, both born in 1905, worked on opposite coasts–Ridderhof Martin in Los Angeles and Sutton in New York. After their deaths, both left large numbers of works seldom seen by anyone. These selections of their legacies are being exhibited for the first time.
Greek and Roman myths and epics as depicted in European drawings and prints of the last four Centuries. The artists include Hendrick Goltzius, Agostino Veneziano, Ugo da Capri, Jonore Daumier, and Henri Matisse. The works come from the University of Missouri Museum of Art and Archaeology, which organized the exhibition.
Portraits, figure paintings, landscapes, and abstractions exemplifying various American art styles of the 19th and 20th centuries. Among the artists included are Bernard Perlin, Milton Avery, Phyllis Ridderhof Martin, Gari Melchers, and Dean Gillette. The paintings come from the College’s collection and other local collections. Several have not been exhibited before.
A contemporary of Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, and Georia O’Keeffe, the New York artist Alfred Levitt turns 100 this year. The exhibition includes 20 of his watercolors from the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art plus 22 other paintings from his own collection. Many have not been seen since they were exhibited at the Whitney, the Brooklyn Museum, and elsewhere in New York in the 1940s and 50s.
