Greenville Museum of Art in Greenville, NC, Features Works by Wes Crawley
The Greenville Museum of Art in Greenville, NC, is pleased to announce its final exhibition for the current year 2001. Wes Crawley: Sculptor Of The Human Form will run through Jan. 28, 2002.
Wes Crawley was an established artist in Oregon prior to coming to East Carolina College (now East Carolina University) in 1959 as an instructor of sculpture and art education; he was the first professional sculptor hired at ECU. In 1966 he began teaching in the figure drawing area where he felt that he would have a better opportunity to pursue the human figure as a motif.
The over 40 sculptures and drawings in this exhibition highlight Crawley's admiration and reverence for the female form. The exhibition contains work from the 1960s to the 1980s and includes the last piece he was working on before his death in 1985 at the age of 63.
Accompanying the exhibition is a brochure with an essay written by Michael H. Duffy, Associate Professor and Art History Area Coordinator at the ECU School of Art.
Related programs for the exhibition include a lecture by Biruta Erdmann titled The Nude in American Sculpture in the 19th and 20th Centuries at 12:30pm on Jan. 9; and two teacher workshops for K- 12 teachers held on Jan. 12 and Jan. 26.
