The Harnett Collection of American Painting

January 10 to January 26, 1989

Marsh Art Gallery

Introduction

Joel Harnett, a 1945 graduate of the University of Richmond. discovered his interest in art when he met his wife, Lila. She had studied painting at the Art Students League in New York City. As a young couple they shared a love of art and of the collecting of art. Today with great generosity they share their collection, the fruit of some thirty years of intelligent and loving discrimination, with Joel's alma mater.

Both diversity and coherence, in addition to a striking level of …

George Tooker: Painting and Working Drawings 1947-1988

September 6 to September 27, 1989

Marsh Art Gallery

Introduction

Paintings such as Subway, 1950, and Ward, 1970-71, are unforgettable images of the numbing isolation and anonymity that George Tooker finds in our secular bureaucratic society. What lies behind these compelling images? The larger context of private and public themes offers us insight into Tooker's achievement. I would like to propose that at least a part of this achievement lies in his simultaneous use and dismissal of the traditional, that is Renaissance-based, perspective construction of pictorial space.

While studying at the …

Francis Cunningham: Painting and Drawing

March 14 to April 5, 1989

Marsh Art Gallery

Introduction

Realism is an attitude toward life that affirms the beauty and significance of the visible world. Realism starts outside with the surfaces of things and travels inward to their meaning. Everything in this process has to do with selection. What has the object told a particular artist about itself, about its relationship to other objects and to the surrounding space?

In life one takes in things at a glance, but the artist looks at an object for hours, weeks, months, even years. Premier coup painting …

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

November 29 to December 18, 1988

Marsh Art Gallery

Introduction

The art of Ephraim Rubenstein and Mark Rhodes is art about the human figure, born out of personal experience and nourished by the great tradition of the figure in western culture. Indeed, the persistence of the human form in art from prehistoric times into the 20th Century, demonstrates not only the infinite variety of interpretations and expressions possible through the body, but our consistent need for self-realization and re-creation through the figure. The particular pieces in this show convey a remarkable cumulative visual …

Introduction

The Marsh Gallery takes pride in opening its 1987-88 season with the first Virginia exhibition of paintings and drawings by Janet Fish, acknowledged master of the contemporary still life according to art critic Gerrit Henry.

While this exhibition is intended to emphasize her current work it is also slightly retrospective, including work dating from 1975 to 1987, so that the viewer will understand the progression as well as the increasing depth of the artist's oeuvre.

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 …

February 20 to March 17, 1985

Marsh Art Gallery

Introduction

Over the post century, the formal issues in art have been re-examined and exalted. The next question is meaning. As critic and artist, Ruth Weisberg is uncompromising in her belief that the value of art is in its meaning. Through her images, a humanitarian speaks. 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 …
