More than a dozen life-size figures by the renowned hyper-realist sculptor Duane Hanson will take etheir places in the Gallery. This controversial master of illusionism has explained that he is "...not duplicating life, [but] making a statement about human values." Exhibitions of Hanson's work have attracted large crowds, as audiences indulge their natural human tendency to "people-watch" without getting caught. But watching Hanson's people is disquieting, for, with some exceptions, they carry the burdens of life heavily. This exhibition has been organized by the Edwin A. Ulrich Museum of Art at The Wichita State University, Wichita, Kansans.
