Fine Contemporary Art, Anyone? EXHIBITION ANNOUNCEMENT
Zia Gallery
CURRENT EXHIBITION: WILLIAM LUMPKINS
Pioneers are, by necessity, capable of doing a variety of
things well. Pioneer artists, especially, tend to be Renaissance
types who live full, diversified lives of their own making.
One of America's most outstanding contemporary examples of this
phenomenon is William Lumpkins, who, with seven decades of
groundbreaking art and architecture behind him, is as fresh
and active in his creative concerns as anyone working today.
His life is utterly consistent with his origins and his
philosophy.
A pioneering artist and architect, he predated the abstract
expressionist movement of the 1940's and 50's by nearly 10 years,
and is today recognized as one of the finest artists to come out
of the transcendentalist movement of the 50's and 60's.
Now 87, his enthusiasm for the whole of art history continues
unabated. His influence on art and architecture radiates outward
from an unpretentious man who has simply created his own vision.
"One doesn't seek to understand the inner self, one allows the
inner self to live, creating its own image." - William Lumpkins
