Event Description

MAY 2, 2009 – AUG 16, 2009

Drawn from the Portland Art Museum’s archive of the prints of Beth Van Hoesen (born 1926), this exhibition presents some 70 prints by this noted San Francisco artist. Van Hoesen’s intimate portrayals bring out the beauty and eccentricities of her subjects—people, animals, foodstuffs, flowers, still lifes, interiors, and landscapes.

The exhibition is organized by the Portland Art Museum and curated by Annette Dixon, Ph.D., curator of prints and drawings.

***

Dedicated to the exhibition of works on paper, the Gilkey Center Graphic Arts series presents three to five shows each year. From prints to photographs, works for the exhibitions are often drawn from the Vivian and Gordon Gilkey Center for Graphic Arts — the largest collection in the Museum. Recent exhibitions include: Fourteen Artists/Fourteen Years: Mahaffey Fine Art; Personal Best: Photographs by Elliott Erwitt; The Drawn Line; Graphic Force, Human Vision: Leonard Baskin Works on Paper; and In Winter, Silk Linings: The Kimono in Print. Gilkey Center programs are supported in part by the Vivian and Gordon Gilkey Endowment Fund.

Many thanks! Very reassuring about the cost of housing--I'm a NYer and live in Boston so 450K won't go far in the places I know.
