Artists Talk: Mel Leipzig & Dan Finaldi
February 2, 2010 - 3 p.m.
Two of the eighteen accomplished artists featured in the Realism Unbound: Contemporary Representational Art exhibition will present an artists talk at the Noyes. Leipzig will present a slide show and lecture discussing American representational art starting with the Ashcan School and proceeding on up to contemporary artists. Finaldi will give a talk based on his own experiences coming into representational painting in a post-modern age. He will discuss how Lois Dodd and other senior artists operated as key figures, creating a pathway for Finaldi and younger artists to work in a representational manner. He will give a tour of the works in the exhibition and a talk about the connections between the artists work.
