Indepth Arts News: "Tony Foster: World Views" 2000-09-30 until 2000-11-26 Frye Art Museum Seattle, WA, USA
Foster focuses his energy on painting fragile wilderness
regions with an eye to conservation: My work is about
wilderness, a celebration of the fact that even on our
overcrowded and increasingly polluted planet there exist
places of intense beauty without any mark of human
interference. I see it as my role as an artist to spend
time in these places, to distill my experiences, and to
bring my evidence back to civilization. The paintings are
not simply landscapes --- they are a way of describing
what happens when I make my journeys.
Organized by the Frye Art Museum, the exhibition will travel
to New York and San Francisco at the conclusion of its
showing in Seattle. A richly illustrated exhibition catalogue
with essays by Tony Foster and guest curator Duncan
Robinson, Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge,
England, is available in the museum store.
