William Clutz: Crossings (Main Gallery)

September 9 – December 9, 2016
Lecture by William Clutz in Schmucker Art Gallery: October 6, 2016, 5-6pm

Reception to follow until 7 pm

This exhibition by renowned American artist William Clutz celebrates the recent gift of artworks of the artist to Gettysburg College and is organized in partnership with the Washington County Museum of Fine Arts (WCMFA) in Hagerstown, Maryland.  The exhibition features twenty-four pastels, drawings and large-scale paintings from the collections at the WCMFA, Mercersburg Academy, and Gettysburg College.  Clutz arrived in New York in the 1950s, astutely observing his fellow passers-by and depicting them with a concerted awareness of the concentrated colors and painterly directness of the contemporary Abstract Expressionists.

Although Clutz spent most of his life in New York City, he was born in Gettysburg and has strong familial ties to the College. Clutz’s long career is marked by extraordinary professional successes, and his works are held in major collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of the City of New York, the Newark Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, and the Brooklyn Museum, among others.
