JOHN ZINSSER: EXTENSION OF THOUGHT

Great art has always extended thought. Plotinus called the art object an object of contemplation. But, you might ask, what does one contemplate when one contemplates abstract art? In a word, beauty: pure aesthetic bliss. The abstract expressionists re-defined beauty, and John Zinsser, a devotee of abstract expressionism as well as early minimalism, creates his own version of the beautiful by riffing on both.

JEFF AELING: NEW WORK

 In addition, the gallery will present New Work by landscape painter Jeff Aeling. The Aeling exhibition will feature large-scale, luminous panoramas of the Mississippi River where it meets the Missouri River, north of St. Louis.

Opening Reception: Friday, September 12, 2014 6 - 8 pm
