The Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC, will present the exhibition, People Reading: Selections from the Collection of Donald and Patricia Oresman, on view from May 8 through Oct. 5, 2008.
Manhattan attorney Donald Oresman and his wife
Patricia have amassed over 1,300 works of art whose subject is
simply people reading. From this collection, featured in The
New Yorker and The Paris Review, 60 works have been
curated by Dr. Thomas L. Johnson, Librarian Emeritus of the South
Caroliniana Library, University of South Carolina. People in the
works are depicted reading books, newspapers, letters, theater
programs, menus, music, signs and billboards.
Aquatint, ink and pencil, watercolor, wood engraving, color lithograph,
etching, gouache, pencil and dry point are among the media included.
Equally impressive is the list of artists, many of international
renown, such as Pierre Bonnard, Elizabeth Catlett, Marc Chagall,
Minna Citron, and Kees von Dongen.
The exhibit is sponsored by The Chapin Foundation.
