The Burchfield-Penney Art Center presents a selection of works by the versatile artist, Virginia Cuthbert. From her generation, Cuthbert was one of Buffalois most revered artists, known for her proficiency as a painter and her spirited camaraderie as a friend. The artist studied with artists working in a range of styles, including Charles Hawthorne, Colin Gill, George Luks, and Alexander Kostellow. Her work initially was stylistically aligned with the Ash Can School; however, she is best known for her interpretation of a style referred to as Magic Realism. Show runs until October 8, 2005.
