ABOUT

The exhibition will feature a fine group of paintings and sculpture that were hand selected by Gallery Director David Cowan. Cowan has included fresh artwork by popular Gallery Artists: Kenneth Stubbs, Lester Johnson and George Lloyd, as well as new work by contemporary artists: Mike Wright, Donald Beal, and Richard Baker. Rounding out the lineup will be a small group of elegant mid-century modern paintings from an important local collection by noted modernist James Lechay.

Art Historians credit Dutch and Flemish painters of the 17th century with creating the first important artworks in the still life genre. The tradition of still life painting flourished throughout western art for centuries thereafter, with important examples painted by such esteemed artists as Brueghel, Chardin, Cezanne, Braque, Gris, and Lhote. The genealogy of American still life painting dates from as early as the 18th century, and its lineage includes works by such artists as Copley, Peale, Harnett, Hartley, O’Keefe, and Demuth.
