Harvey Gordon “Seeing the Small Picture”

The Painting Center

This event has ended.

The Painting Center presents Seeing the Small Picture an exhibition of acrylic paintings by Harvey Gordon. For more than fifty years, Harvey Gordon’s art has reflected his life by depicting resonant aspects of his visual experience. He seeks to integrate convincing representation with a surface comprised of distinct, graceful, rhythmic brush marks. All the colors in his paintings are mixed, in transparent layers, from a palette limited to black, white and the three primaries. After succumbing periodically to the pressures of both commerce and ego to produce larger paintings, Gordon determined that his aesthetic goals were best achieved, and his long standing natural inclination was best satisfied, by working on a smaller, more modest and intimate scale.
