Carroll Cloar
Location: The Leu Art Gallery
The Leu Art Gallery presents paintings, lithographs and drawings by the late Carroll Cloar. A nationally recognized American painter, Cloar’s style has been described as simultaneously primitive and progressively modern. Drawing from his childhood memories of the American South, his compositions are grounded in reality but often evoke a dream-like quality making them difficult to categorize, but remarkable to contemplate.
On view until June 15, 2012
