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. Park West Gallery is located at 29469 North- western Highway in South- field. Gallery hours are Monday-Wednesday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m.-9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m.
