July 06, 2007 Lawrence Rugolo: Forty Years of Printmaking Opens July 14 Nationally recognized printmaker Lawrence Rugolo has lived and worked in Missouri for 40 years, and now Missourians have the opportunity to view an exhibition of his work. Drawn from The State Historical Society of Missouri’s permanent holdings, Lawrence Rugolo: Forty Years of Printmaking opens in the Society’s Main Gallery on July 14 and showcases the artist’s often vibrantly colored images and inventive use of the silk-screen technique. His serigraphs, which range in subject matter from naturalistic landscapes to surrealistic visions and geometric abstractions, have aspects that reflect technical, historical and, personal developments over four decades.“It’s exciting that Rugolo, one of the leading innovators in serigraphy, lives right here in central Missouri,” said Joan Stack, curator of art collections at the Society. “We are very fortunate to have his works in our collection.” Guests are invited to a public reception celebrating the exhibit’s opening in the Main Gallery from 2 to 4 p.m. July 14. The exhibit will run through September 15. The Society is located on the ground floor, east side of Ellis Library on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus. The Art Gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Labels: art show posted @ 9:46 AM
