Other Date(s) Opening Reception: Thursday, March 6, 5-7 p.m. Still-life paintings are considered one of the important forms of instruction within the classroom especially in teaching foundation courses in drawing and painting. It is the building block for students learning about seeing, understanding formal ideas about composition, design, color and light. This exhibition will present the realist work of the contemporary painter Nancy Hagin, who came upon the New York scene in the early 60’s when painting in the abstract mode was at its height and painting realistically, especially the still-life image, was considered out of fashion. Along with painting the still-life, this exhibition will also focus on two very different medium, acrylic painting on canvas and watercolor. Hagin received her BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1962 and her MFA from Yale University in 1964. She has exhibited her work in numerous one person and group shows. Her work is in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, Yeshiva University, Delaware Art Museum, National Academy of Design, New York City to name but a few. |
