Anna Matoušková "Places: Abstract Paintings, Drawings and Glass Sculpture - Homage to Leo Kraft"
Queens College Art Center
This event has ended.
The exhibition is cosponsored by the Aaron Copland School of Music; Queens College; Czech Center New York; Chappell Gallery, New York City; and Amálie Maurer, Prague, and is part of the Crossing the BLVD: strangers, neighbors, aliens in a new America, a collaborative project of the Kupferberg Center for the Arts at Queens College.
Five years ago, Matoušková, a Czech artist, and Leo Kraft, an American composer and professor at Queens College, met in Prague. The two spent hours talking about art and music, and through a continuing dialogue, discovered that while their media and backgrounds differ, their artistic concerns and creative processes are aligned. Reflecting on Prof. Kraft’s compositions, Matoušková created most of the pieces in this exhibition. She dedicates it to his 85th birthday.
Lectures and concerts will address the possibilities of inspiration crossing between art and music.
