Paul Matthews: An Adirondack Artist
The Rosenberg Gallery will feature the work of an extraordinary artist – Paul Matthews (1933-2019). Matthews was a complicated artist. Sometimes an expressionist, sometimes a realist, he veered across conventional categories at will, switching back and forth from luminous portraiture to macabre narrative, and from mythological erotica to Fauve collage. In his Keene studio, all these different modes were in play. But over time, the Adirondack landscape around him began to feature more and more centrally in his work. Curated by Frissie Reed, this exhibit features a selection of Matthews’ stunning landscapes and portraits. Celebration July 15, 5-7 p.m.
