Unfortunately I only caught the tail end of last night's Barron Storey opening, but by the time I walked in everyone was glowing.The exhibit is a collection of 150 sketchbooks displayed on wall-length shelves. The viewers are invited to thumb through each and every explosive page. It's an extraordinarily intimate to look an artist's work and daily thoughts, and a touching pact of trust between the artist and the viewers. If you are planning to see the show, give yourself a few days -- one viewing is overwhelming.
A few more shots from the opening here.

Every single one of Barron's sketchbooks are overwhelming in every possible way.
ReplyDeleteI can not start to imagine what all of them together can do to you.
It is too bad I won't be able to see it.
Barron is the man. Great teacher, even better artist.
