Gallery handout: A Maker’s Mark

A Maker’s Mark introduces a group of emerging and local artists that apply non-traditional methods to the typical instruments of art-making. Using a variety of innovative processes, these artists create objects that are layered in both surface and meaning. They take risks, explore alternative processes and confound expectations. They advance concepts and defy conventions, thereby redefining contemporary aesthetics.

Exhibition Proposal: Ashcan America: The Art of George Luks

When you look at a painting, what makes it good or bad? Is it the way it looks, or how it makes you feel that’s most important to you? To be a great painter, does everything you paint have to be a masterpiece?

George Benjamin Luks (1867-1933) grappled with these very same questions. His canvases question conventional beauty, express frustration, and highlight social conditions at the turn of the 20th century. However, these paintings also betray a self-conscious desire for fame and success. Luks desperately wanted his art to please people.
