Sherrie Wolf

In August Sherrie Wolf will show “Faces” at the Laura Russo Gallery. All the paintings of faces are from art history. Each piece is no bigger than a foot square. Some will be hung in a long line-up, some will be put into a grid. If you’re down with your art history, you’re going to see some familiar faces – Wolf has lifted from Rembrandt, Ingres, Vigee Le Brun, Vermeer, Goya, Caravaggio and many others. She seems to have adapted the approach of each individual painter, not just the details of a face.

Comments

Wonderful interview!  Sherrie Wolf is a very thoughtful and articulate artist.  I learned a great deal about how the portraits were choosen and intepreted and how the show developed. Thanks for the insights!
