Robert
Colescott
b. 1925
M.A.,
B.A., University of California, Berkeley
Internationally
acclaimed artist Robert Colescott strives to reveal truths of personal
significance in his work. Satire,
social commentary and humor each play a major role in his unique artistic vision
of history, as well as the virtues and vices of our society.
“ I pull the viewer in with humor, but when they begin to understand
what they have to deal with in the paintings, they don’t know whether to love
them or hate them. It’s this
integrated ‘one-two punch’ that gets them every time.”
Colescott
has had solo exhibitions at the Phyllis Kind Gallery, Chicago, IL; the Koplin
Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; and the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of
Pennsylvania, PA. Selected Group
exhibitions include the Stamford Museum, CT; Galerie Paradis, Paris; Delaware
Art Museum, Wilmington; the Allan Frumkin Gallery, New York, NY; The American
Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, New York, NY; the Hirshorn Museum and
Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C.; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
His work is in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum in New York,
Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., The Denver Museum, as well as the
Whitney Museum of American Art and the San Francisco Museum of Art, as well as
numerous private collections. Robert Colescott was chosen to be the featured
American artist for the 1997 Venice Biennale.
