Rubiner Gallery
Hosts Wydra Exhibit
Rubiner Gallery will host
an exhibition of Karen Wydra
paintings through May 3.
This will be Karen Wydra's
first one-person show in the
Michigan area. The show is
comprised of 15 large oil pain-
tings using still life as the
subject and executed to cap-
ture nuances of form, texture,
and light. Her approach uses
everyday, often overlooked ob-
jects arranged in juxtaposi-
tion to create facets for in-
terplay and reflection.
A marble, a glass and the
folds of a cloth assume impor-
tance when enlarged onto the
canvas.
Ms. Wydra studied art at
the University of Illinois
before moving to Michigan.
She is a painting instructor at
the Birmingham Bloomfield
Art Association. Gallery
hours are Tuesday-Saturday,
11 a.m.-5 p.m.
Park West Gallery
Marc Chagall Exhibit
The works of Russian artist
Marc Chagall will be featured
in an exhibition through May
2 at Park West Gallery, in
Southfield. The exhibition
and sale of 152 lithographs,
engravings, aquatints and
etchings, includes the com-
plete 105 works — The Bible.
Chagall was, as a young ar-
tist, influenced by fauvism,
futurism and cubism. De-
veloping his own style, the ar-
tist became one of the con-
tributors to the surreal move-
ment. Jewish life and folklore
were his primary themes as
he captured the images of
flowers and animals in jux-
tapositions, embracing lovers,
happy cows, blissful rabbits
and other symbols of life. His
talents are captured in a
variety of art forms from
paintings, etchings and
lithographs to murals, stage
settings and stained glass.
Creating new works until
his death in 1985 at the age
of 97, Chagall's career
spanned eight decades and in-
cluded the creation of more
than 1000 fine art prints. His
first major painting, The
Dead Man, shows a man's
body lying in a deserted
street, surrounded by candles
while a fiddler fiddles on a
nearby rooftop. Among Cha-
gall's best-known works are
Les Ames Mortes by Gogol,
Les Fables de la Fontaine and
La Bible.
La Bible is a series of 105 il-
lustrations for the Bible.
Completed in 22 years, the
collection has been hailed as
a printmaking accomplish-
ment.
Chagall's works also in-
clude giant murals for the
Metropolitan Opera House in
New York, a series of giant
biblical paintings which oc-
cupy their own museum in
Nice, a series of stained glass
windows for a synagogue near
Jerusalem and mosaics and
tapestry for the Knesset.
