October 15, 2004: Volume 62, Number 6

Figure Drawn show closes Oct. 21

The Figure Drawn: Work on Paper by Sigmund Abeles and Philip Grausman runs through Thursday, Oct. 21, in the Burns Atrium Gallery in the Arts Building.

While both artists have a generally representational perspective, they differ greatly in their description of the human form.

Abeles, known as a painter and printmaker, presents his images with psychologically penetrating directness, employing bold and incisive lines and marks that crackle with emotion.

Grausman, a master of classically refined sculptures of people and animals, establishes linear amalgams of sheer elegance in which the viewer meets subjects through somewhat idealized geometry.

Despite their differences, each artist creates forms with passion, conviction, and authority from years of seeing, reflecting, and making art.

The exhibition is made possible through the Walter C. Baker Fine Arts Endowment.

The exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information, call 518-388-6131. Gallery hours daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
