Mark Rhodes/Ephraim Rubenstein: Sculpture, Painting, and Drawing

November 29 to December 18, 1988

Marsh Art Gallery

Introduction

The particular pieces in this show convey a remarkable cumulative visual …

Jerome Witkin: Moral Visions

September 04 to September 25, 1986

Marsh Art Gallery, University of Richmond Museums

Introduction

Jerome Witkin's works were first brought to my attention when I stepped off the elevator into a 57th Street gallery with business on my mind. Just then I was caught by lingering hallucinations from morning dreams, or was it actually a large painting on the wall in front of me echoing my own psychic drama? While processing loans and shuffling slides moments later, flashes of Subway: A Marriage before my eyes lured me around the corner and back into the gallery. Witkin's …

In her strong compassionate voice, one hears the echos of Goya, Watteau, Velazquez and Munch- those who painted and drew to expose injustice and to understand the pathos of human existence.

Ruth Weisberg is a Professor of Fine Arts at the University of …
