Notre Dame de Namur University’s Wiegand Gallery is proud to present Realism & Abstraction: Four Printmakers featuring artwork by four master printmakers: David Smith-Harrison, Trevor Southey, Betty Friedman and Misch Kohn. The opening reception will be held on Sunday, March 28th from 2pm-4pm. A benefit for the Wiegand Gallery Exhibition Fund will be held on Saturday, April 17th from 4pm-7pm. This event will feature a wine tasting and food pairing with a silent auction featuring artwork from the exhibition’s four master printmakers. The artists present rich possibilities in contemporary printmaking. At first glance, the works in the exhibition represent two ends of a spectrum. On one hand, Southey and Smith-Harrison render a spiritual world of descriptive line and deep space, a vision that reaches back to Rembrandt. On the other, Misch Kohn and Betty Friedman celebrate planes of color, complex abstract structures, and an active, graphic line that has its roots firmly in the modernism of Picasso and the expressionism of Pollock. Yet there exists a subtle relationship between all four artists as we find a reaching toward representation in the abstract prints by Friedman and Kohn and the incorporation of abstract elements in the figurative work of Southey and Smith-Harrison.
