Sewell Sillman: Pushing Limits January 2, 2011

Sewell Sillman: Pushing Limits celebrates the life and work of groundbreaking artist Sewell Sillman (1924 - 1992). In the late 1940s Sillman studied with Josef Albers at Black Mountain College. Sillman absorbed Albers's approach to color, design and drawing and education over the decades of their work together, bringing Albers's lessons to bear on his own art and teaching. This exhibition features many of Sillman's graceful abstract drawings and watercolors alongside powerful color studies created in collaboration with Albers.
