The David Winton Bell Gallery will celebrate the artistic and educational accomplishments of one of Brown’s most senior faculty members in its exhibition, Walter Feldman: The Work of Five Decades. The exhibition spans Feldman’s career, beginning with a macabre image of a skeleton-faced soldier—done in 1946 shortly after he returned from his service in World War II—and continuing through his most recent artist’s book, The Ballad of Rodger Young, completed in 2003. Between the two, Feldman has created works in a wide range of materials: paintings in egg tempera, gouache, oil and acrylic; pen and ink drawings; mosaics and stained glass; silk screens, woodcuts, etchings and engravings; and mixed media sculpture, collage and hand-set letterpress books.
