Exhibit: ‘French Printmaking in the Seventeenth Century’

10:00 am to 05:00 pm
IU Art Museum (IU Campus, 1133 E. 7th St.)
http://tinyurl.com/9jrmkox

Artists working in Paris and Lorraine during the Baroque period developed distinctive styles—which focused on the vibrancy of the line—that differed markedly from their Italian and Dutch contemporaries. The two print kiosks in the early part of the gallery feature French works by Jacques Bellange, Claude Lorrain, Jacques Callot, and Claude Mellan, whose engraving is a tour de force of printmaking that creates the face of Christ using a single line.

Exhibit: Adam Thorman and Laura Plageman at Pictura Gallery

11:00 am to 07:00 pm
Pictura Gallery (122 W. 6th St.)
http://www.picturagallery.com/index.htm

Adam Thorman describes his body of landscapes, “What Light Remains in the Absence”, as an ode to the weight of light and the presence of absence. They are soft and subtle visual records of permanence and transience in the forms of rocks and tides on the American west coast. Laura Plageman’s “Response” is an equally thoughtful exploration of the same region. She challenges perceptions and our sense of what is permanent, what is precious, and what is malleable by physically altering the paper of the print and re-photographing the result to form her own new landscapes. These works will be on view together at Pictura, running through December 29.

Pictura Gallery is open 11 am – 7 pm, Tuesday – Saturday.
