January 19 through April 13, 2008 Although more widely recognized for her early Precisionist paintings, Elsie Driggs (1898-1992) created plant life paintings, animal paintings, watercolors of figures in urban settings, as well as murals based on folktales. This exhibition will present over 50 works from throughout Driggs' life, including collages, mixed media constructions, and oil paintings inspired by memories of her student days in Italy and the dynamism of New York during the seventies and eighties.
