Albert Wein: A Six Decade Survey of an American Modern Master

September 17, 2008 - October 18, 2008

For six decades, Albert Wein maintained his conviction that the "essence" of the subject and composition is the most important part of a work of art. This goal is primarily what enabled Wein's body of work to succeed through a changing time and world. Wein describes the process of making art as "stripping it down of all its extraneous detail and getting to the very core of the matter." When he passed away in 1991, Wein had come through a full revolution with his work, and a lifetime of distinction remained.
