SAM GALLERY PRESENTS: FREE RADICALS
JUN 12 – JUL 7 2019
SEATTLE ART MUSEUM
SAM GALLERY
10 AM – 5 PM
The artists in this show create portraits based on museum-goers, pop stars, celebrities, unknown Etruscan citizens, and very specific emotions. Much like the 19th-century British artists on view upstairs in Victorian Radicals these artists bring their unique interpretation to the word “portrait.”
I am presently in NY attending a Figurative Sculpture Marathon at the NY Studio School, and won’t be able to attend, but I invite you to go and enjoy the show’s opening reception June 13 from 6-7:30 pm. Wear a nametag that says “Ruthie V.” and smile at the generous people who talk to you.

“No one did more to reanimate the tired old genre of still life painting in the last half century than did Mr Thiebaud with his paintings of industrially regimented food products.” (NYT, 2004) In 2000, Thiebaud told PBS’ NewsHour with Jim Lehrer that the subject of food was “fun and humorous, and that’s dangerous in …
