Celebrated Artist Joe Lasker presents his first one-man Connecticut Show


VILLAGE CREEK VISIONS:
CELEBRATED ARTIST JOE LASKER PRESENTS
HIS FIRST ONE-MAN, CONNECTICUT SHOW

"There is a psychological warmth and penetration in the work… especially stimulating canvasses… marvelously effective... a tour de force."
— The New York Times, 1947-74

"Extraordinary technique, engaging wit…Lasker's riffs on art history, life and convention are delivered with refreshing charm, irony and skill."
— Mary Schneider Enriquez, Art News, January, 2004



South Norwalk, Conn., May 5, 2008– After 55 years and 14 one-man shows at New York's Kraushaar Galleries, the distinguished American painter Joe Lasker is pleased to present his works in his first one-man show in Connecticut. The exhibition and sale will take place on Saturday, May 31, from noon to 5 pm., Pre-sale by appointment from May 25-30.

The exhibition and sale of cityscapes, landscapes, portraits, fantasies, interiors, seascapes and still lifes will take place in the home of Mary Pugh at 9 Outer Rd.

Mr. Lasker's works repose in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Hirshhorn Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, California Palace of the Legion of Honor, Baltimore Museum, Wadsworth Atheneum, Tel Aviv Museum and many other museums.

Corporate-collection representation includes Aramark, First National Bank of Chicago, 3M, Upjohn Pharmaceuticals and U.S. embassies in Tokyo and Harare.

His many prizes include Prix de Rome and Guggenheim Fellowships and numerous awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the National Academy of Design (where he is a National Academician and the former Secretary).

He is also an author and illustrator of many books. His illustrations will be on exhibit along with his oil paintings.

In Canada he is represented by Liss Gallery, http://www.lissgallery.com. For more information and a wide-ranging portfolio, please visit his Web site, http://www.joelasker.com.
