In Context: Art and Text

Exhibited works from the collection were resources for an Arts-In-Education collaborative project with Kenmore West High School funded by the New York State Council on the Arts. The theme of the exhibition was the relationship between visual art and written language. Selected paintings, drawings, photographs, prints and sculpture explored ways artists use text in art, incorporating passages of text, words or single letters as a meaningful part of the composition. Artists represented include Charles Agel, Nancy Dwyer, Marion Faller, Bonnie Gordon, Richard Kegler, Robert Lax, Joseph Piccillo, Russell Ram, Robert D. Schroeck and Andrew Topolski.
