A wonderful celebration of Harry Benjamin, master artist, one of the founders of the Silver City Art Scene, and all-around fun, creative unique human.
Both spaces will feature Harry's artwork.
A film of old friends visiting about Harry will run at both places. (A good time to smile and enjoy, the film will feature "the art of the nap.”)
"As an artist, Harry has always been remarkably inventive, even idiosyncratic in response to subject matter and formal directives," said Cecil Howard in his letter of support for Harry Benjamin’s Governor’s Arts Award. "His individual talent and eccentric tastes are reflected in his irrepressible aesthetic adventures, full of surprises and incongruities. His paintings are captivating not only for their beauty but also for the many varied ways in which they express his quest for self-knowledge and insight."
Photographs are from Harry’s retrospective in 2007.
