Centennial retrospective of works by Larry Day

Ruth Fine and William Valero The Patricia Van Burgh Allison Director and CEO Woodmere Art Museum will present an overview of “Body Language: The Art of Larry Day.”

The exhibition celebrates Larry Day (1921-1998) in his centenary year, exploring his singular contributions to American art and the lasting power of his observations and imagination.

Deeply speculative, Day believed that the ordinary in life is the source of all that is extraordinary. His embrace of everyday subjects was tethered to a deeply curious intellectual engagement with the figurative arts and the history of representation. By questioning and reframing prevailing assumptions, he participated in the broad movement in Western thought we now call Postmodernism.
