14th Annual Realism Invitational
October 5 - November 30, 2007
Our annual exhibit continues to offer a personal dialogue concerning the illusion and the real through finely painted, woven, sculpted, and drawn uniquely crafted works of art.
On view will be new work by more than 50 artists.
It is said that realism shows us the recognizable subject as something that can never be attainable; therefore it is created to cherish this illusion.
"What is fascinating about the idea of realism in art is that it continually slips from your grasp. Every time you think you've got hold of it, it vanishes again."
Edward Lucie-Smith
