The exhibition is titled "Recent Acquisitions." It features paintings and sculptures from the local area, all created between 1910-2010. The art work on display was created by such artists as:
- Joseph Barrett: currently resides in Bucks County and much of his art work is centered on Bucks County
- Walter Baum: founder of the Baum School of Art in Allentown
- Renzo Faggioli: art faculty member at Moravian College
- Roy Nuse: impressionist artist who resides in Bucks County
- Steve Tobin: originally from Coopersburg, Pennsylvania
Moravian alumna Joann M. Trotsky gave the art work to the college in honor of her parents Alexander and Elizabeth Trotsky.

I always love seeing the exhibits at the Payne Gallery, they're always interesting! I also find it really cool that the art work is by local artists, it makes the experience more rewarding in a way. Also many times they serve sushi, so that always nice :P
ReplyDeleteI actually have a question: do one of these "Recent Acquisitions" include that strange orange statue by PPHAC?
ReplyDeleteAshley: I also like that the art work is all local. It really does make it more rewarding.
ReplyDeleteEmily: Yes, the orange statue outside PPHAC was by Steve Tobin. Two other statues of his are on south campus too.
