JACOB LAWRENCE AND THE URBAN EXPERIENCE: SELECTED PRINTS
1963-2000
The Arthur Ross Gallery will present a comprehensive survey of Jacob Lawrence Prints, 1963-2000. A renowned 20th-century African-American painter/printmaker, Lawrence's self-defined style of "dynamic cubism" was primarily influenced by his life growing up in Harlem. The New York Times (June 9, 2000) called Lawrence "one of America's leading figurative painters" and "among the most impassioned visual chroniclers of the African American experience."
This selection of prints will focus specifically on aspects of urban life. Prints are courtesy of the DC Moore Gallery, New York.
A scheduled lecture by Bridget Moore, President of DC Moore Gallery, NYC will be given on October 29, 2009 at 5:00 PM |

SILENCE DOGOOD: MILER LAGOS
As part of the citywide celebration Philagrafika 2010, the Arthur Ross Gallery
will present a site-specific installation by Miler Lagos, a contemporary Colombian artist. Lagos is a multi media with an interest in relating different socioeconomic environments - urban and popular - and re-appropriating the different visual and social phenomena that emerge in each context. He uses a variety of modern materials, plastics, steel, cement and recycled paper.
The artist will create this unique installation on site at Penn, using nearly 4 tons of recylced newspapers from which he will sculpt a forest of trees. Lagos will offer a gallery talk during his residency. Related programming is being planned with Philagrafika.

LAUGHING MATTERS:
SOVIET PROPAGANDA IN
KHRUSHCHEV'S THAW, 1956-1964
This exhibition offers a unique and thematically coherent sample of Soviet propaganda art from the so-called "Thaw" period, a singular moment of post-Stanlist liberalization during Nikita Khrushchev's reign. Comprised of 25 posters, most of which never seen in the United States before, it explores the iconographic and verbal shift away from the earlier stern, monumentalizing, and formulaic of the Russian avant-garde art of the 1920s. The Members' Opening is co-sponsored by the Department of the History of Art.
