Artist George Bartko: “Island Portraits: The Men”
Sept. 19 – October 25 Wilson Art Gallery
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 19th, 3:30-5:30pm.
Meet world-renowned Hungarian-born artist George Bartko on September 19th who will discuss his work, which he conceived not as a series of individual, separate records, but as a unified piece with a cumulative effect.
George Bartko was born in Hungary and now spends half the year on the island of Vinalhaven, off the coast of Maine, and his winters in Budapest, where he keeps an apartment and art studio.
As a teenager he apprenticed for three years to the Hungarian painter Lajos Saabo before coming to the United States in 1956. He earned a BFA in painting and printmaking at the University of Illinois, Urbana, and his MFA in painting and printmaking at the University of Florida, Gainsville. He went on to teach painting, drawing and lithography at St. Louis Community College in Missouri.
He says of his intention: “I ask from a viewer an attention span longer than required to identify the contents of a painting. I invite the viewer to explore the way I resolve the delights of appearances.”
Ignacio Asenjo Salcedo: Fossils from the Gutenberg Era
Artist Ignacio Asenjo Salcedo imagines a world several centuries into the future in which paper books are no longer a traditional means of entertaining or sharing information, but relics of a bygone era in world that has become all digital.

Exhibition runs in the Wilson Art Gallery from August 27 – September 13, 2019 and may be viewed any time the Falcone Library is open.
Meet the artist for an opening reception on August 29, 5-7pm in the Wilson Art Gallery in the Falcone Library, followed by a talk by Spanish novelist and columnist Irene Vallejo about the future of the book and reading in the digital age at 7pm in the Writing Center of the library.
