The Figure Drawn: Work on Paper by
Sigmund Abeles and Philip Grausman runs through Thursday, Oct. 21, in the Burns Atrium Gallery in
the Arts Building.
While both artists have a generally
representational perspective, they differ greatly in their description of the
human form.
Abeles, known as a painter and
printmaker, presents his images with
psychologically penetrating directness, employing bold and incisive lines and
marks that crackle with emotion.
Grausman, a master of classically refined sculptures of people and
animals, establishes linear amalgams of sheer elegance in which the viewer
meets subjects through somewhat idealized geometry.
Despite their differences, each artist
creates forms with passion, conviction, and authority from years of seeing,
reflecting, and making art.
The exhibition is made possible
through the Walter C. Baker Fine Arts Endowment.
The exhibit is free and open to the
public. For more information, call 518-388-6131. Gallery
hours daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
