Herbert Beck - Works on Paper
Connaught Brown
3/1/2012 to 3/31/2012
10.30-5.30
Our forthcoming exhibition celebrates the life of Herbert Beck (1920-2010) with a retrospective of his late work. In the abstract landscapes and organic compositions presented here, we see Beck’s process of giving freedom to his inner expression. Because these works find no precedent in nature but only in Beck’s mind’s-eye, there is a transcendence of time and space inherent in the compositions that draws upon notions of the sublime. These sentiments are further compounded by the sheer scale of Beck’s work. There is an enveloping quality in the artist’s work that the viewer cannot help but succumb to.
