 "Do Faces Tell a Story?"
and Portraits by
Edwin Maltz
February 2-27, 2010
Reception: Sat., Feb. 6, 4-7 pm
Maltz brings a harmonious connection between the structure of place and the soft graceful lines of the figures of his focus. The two subjects intermingle with each other as a storybook does with words and illustration. The narrative among his strokes, lines and shadows of his images, capture our interest and lure you in for a closer listen. Many of Maltz's images begin in the studio or on a drafting board, studies of a model or a place he's visited, perhaps a European piazza from a travel abroad or a well rehearsed and translated passage from a history book. From there here takes us to a place from the past or to a place we can visit from his own imagination.
