Gary T Erbe: 40 Years January 9, 2009

This exhibition showcases more than sixty "trompe l'oeil" paintings by self-taught artist Gary T. Erbe. "Trompe l'oeil" (to fool the eye) is illusionist painting that goes back to Ancient Rome, 17-century Dutch painting, and 19th-century American painting by the likes of William Harnett and John Frederick Peto. This forty-year retrospective of Erbe's best work depicts pop culture of the 1950s, '60s, and '70s.
