Elizabeth Myers Mitchell Art Gallery, cont.
Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions (organized
by Syracuse University Art Galleries),
August 23 – October 17.
The first major examination of the Karl
Schrag's work since his death in 1995 includes
70 original works by the influential artist,
including paintings, prints and drawings.
Schrag’s art career spanned more than 60
years, and he had strong ties to the New York
City art scene. After studying at the Art Students
League, he joined S.W. Hayter's prestigious
printmaking studio Atelier 17, working
alongside artists Miró, Chagall, and Jackson
Pollock. Schrag was named director of the
Atelier in 1950 and later began a long teaching
career at Cooper Union, where he taught
drawing and graphic arts from 1954-1968.
Schrag’s art conveys his ability to see the
landscape as if for the first time, the surprise
of that special view, the recognition of his
ability to feel wonder when looking at nature
or figures, and the reward associated with
seeing the world through his eyes. As stated
by Schrag, “While I believe that the outward
appearance of nature is but the shell of a
deeper and richer inside world that I wish to
understand, I also know that the forms of art
are in their infinite relationships charged with
profound meanings.”
