THE CLASSICAL TRADITION: SIMPLICITY, SERENITY, AND HARMONY
November 16, 2016 - August 5, 2017
In contemporary artistic practice, an increasing number of artists strive to emulate the serene harmonies and mathematical order championed in antiquity. Commonly referred to as the Classical Tradition, these principles inspire artists to seek for perfection in form and theory through an ongoing observation, study, and execution of these time-honored ideals.
