VISITORS
TO MURRAY ZIMILES EXHIBITION AT THE MORRISON GALLERY
IN KENT, CONNECTICUT, WILL SEE WORKS ABOUT PARADISE
LOST AND PARADISE PARTIALLY REGAINED
KENT, CONNECTICUT – New paintings by noted artist,
Murray Zimiles, will be exhibited July 19th through
August 17th at the Morrison Gallery in the Old Barn
district. The exhibition opens Saturday, July
19th with a Reception from 3-5 pm.
The New York
Times art critic, William Zimmer, described Zimiles’
work as "strong, highly unified, and embodying
a sense of great mystery yet everything is presented
clearly...Camels, bison or dogs are shown traveling
through vast, amazing wilderness landscapes that verge
on the apocalyptic."
Zimiles imbues
his work with intricate interplay and furious energy.
Critics have said that his major theme is “paradise
lost and partially regained.” In the mid 1960s,
against the grain of contemporary movements of the time,
Zimiles began to work in a figurative, narrative genre
that embraced yet defied tradition. He said his work
“recalls tradition, fights tradition and at the
same time establishes a new tradition."
Zimiles has participated
in numerous solo and group exhibitions and his work
is held widely within private and museum collections
throughout the world, notably The Museum of Modern Art,
New York City; Brooklyn Museum of Art; The Jewish Museum,
New York City; Museum of Modern Art, Haifa, Israel;
Tel Aviv Museum, Israel; and National Gallery of Art,
Washington, DC.
He has been a
professor of art at Purchase College of the State University
of New York since 1977. Born in New York in 1941, he
earned his BFA from the University of Illinois and his
MFA from Cornell University. He has also studied in
Paris and was the Guest Curator of the American Folk
Art Museum's celebrated 2007 exhibition of Jewish Folk
Art. Zimilies lives in Dutchess County, New York.
