Gallery Exhibition: Jacob Landau – Selected Paintings from the Monmouth University Permanent Art Collection

Joan and Robert Rechnitz Hall

Jacob Landau (1917-2001), printmaker, painter, humanist, and teacher was an artist whose works explored the basic themes of human existence and morality with an insight that was both passionate and indignant. The art he created gained him an impressive reputation, with many of his works included in the permanent collections of the world’s finest museums. In 2008, the Jacob Landau Institute donated more than 300 of the artist’s prints, drawings and paintings to Monmouth University. This exhibition will feature approximately 20 original paintings.

Gallery Exhibition: Hon Eui Chen – After the Sun

Joan and Robert Rechnitz Hall

Born in a refugee camp on the Thai-Cambodia border, Hon Eui Chen moved to Mississippi at the age of six. Growing up in the American South, while still trying to preserve memories of her childhood in Asia brought up questions about identity that influence her work. The concept of travel and memory are also embedded in her current series of mixed media paintings – layered earthy, dark colored background with graphite drawn trees and foliage and an overlay of concrete. Lecture: January 29, 4:30 – 5:30 pm, Wilson Hall Auditorium. Opening Reception: January 29 5:30 – 7 pm
