art found

have had (and continue to have) computer issues...multiple devices deciding to fail or flounder all at the same time!  so am trying to play catch-up with some posts.  will be short & sweet & mostly photos.  it's art, anyway, so that works :)

hubby & i went to the opening of a local art exhibit (at the UNCG Weatherspoon Art Musuem) featuring pieces from the collection of William Louis-Dreyfus (he being the father of Julia).  he collects 'outsider' art, which he defines as artists who are not formally educated, probably poor, possibly with a disability of some sort (i didn't quite understand that connection, though one of the artists was deaf), likely African-American (also, an odd connection for me, but i suppose that speaks to generational differences).

so, here is the art he brought to Greensboro to share

Louis-Dreyfus with Nancy Doll, who is the Director of the Weatherspoon

found his work interestingly intricate but not much for my heart

 this artist was my favorite

 he had great titles for each of his paintings

 here's a link with more info on this artist.

my favorite painting in the exhibition
