Sights to See: June 19 – July 19, 2010
Starting Saturday June 19, 2010, Common Sense presents Sights To See: Selections from the Cassady McCourt Collection, an exhibition of landscape prints, drawings, painting, photography, and sculpture, owned by Edmonton artists Nola Cassady and Ryan McCourt.
"Harvesting", Shiro Kasamatsu, 1953, woodblock print.
Sights to See features a diverse selection of abstract and representational explorations of landscape by well-known local, Canadian, and international artists, including Gwen Bailey, Nola Cassady, Terry Fenton, Jodie Harpe-Lesperance, Kawase Hasui, Shiro Kasamatsu, Tsuchiya Koitsu, Ryan McCourt, David Shkolny and Rob Willms. These artworks span generations and continents, from 1930s Japan to Canada in the 21st century. Each work selected, in addition to being artistically outstanding, serves also as a personal landmark in the private lives of their makers and their owners.
Sights To See: Selections from the Cassady McCourt Collection opens with a public reception at 1 – 4 pm on Saturday, June 19, 2010, and the exhibition runs until July 19.
Admission to Common Sense is always free, by appointment or by chance.
