July 20-September 1
OPENING RECEPTION:
Saturday July 20, 4 – 6 pm
Wright Contemporary

Interest in figurative art comes and goes down through the decades, but in the case of these three artists, all in their seventies, it never really went away.

These bits and pieces of struggling humanity are comic, but they also seem somewhat desperate and doomed.

Its owner Claude was a burly woman known for ejecting unruly patrons by slinging them over her shoulder. She presided over a wild scene: legend has it someone once rode a horse straight through the bar.
