Herbert Simon: Painter…Sculptor…Printmaker…Master
A retrospective of the life’s work of sculptor, printmaker, and painter Herbert Simon, this exhibition presents the wide breadth of the artist’s prolific and diverse output in all facets of his artistic quest.
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, teaching and practicing throughout the United States, and finally settling in Northeastern Pennsylvania, Simon shifted from representationalism to pure abstraction, eventually settling on a place somewhere between the two. Having studied with leading figures of abstraction including Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell, and Phillip Guston in the mid-century, and highly inspired by the industrial landscape of Northeastern Pennsylvania and simple everyday objects later, Simon developed an approach encompassing both styles to satisfy his vision.
