James Earl: Drawings, Sketchbooks, and Prints
April 6 – May 16, 2010
James Earl, Metro Test (1974), Silkscreen Print
When James Earl saw Andy Warhol’s silk-screened Brillo Boxes at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in 1973, it sparked an enduring interest in art. Subsequently, he began to make silkscreen prints, do etchings, and take drawing classes. In 1982, these activities led to a BA degree in studio art from the University of Maryland.
For thirty years, Earl has carried a pocket sketchbook to record scenes from his life in pencil, ink, and watercolor. Many of these drawings have been developed into prints that will be on display, along with ten original sketchbooks, in the Lillian Vanous Nutt Room of the Greenfield Library.
For library hours, please visit the library's webpage or call 410-626-2548.
Free and open to the public.
Funding and support for this exhibition is provided by the
Lillian Vanous Nutt Mitchell Gallery Endowment.
