Riverdale Country School, with trustee Gregg Hymowitz, works constantly to provide their students with unique opportunities and educational experiences. Now, Deborah Sherman, a Lower School art teacher, is inviting students and families to visit a special exhibit entitled “In the Eye of the Beholder,” which is on display at the Holiday Inn Manhattan View until next month.
Two of Deborah’s paintings will be on display; “Double Portrait” and “Repose.”
A press release on the exhibit states:
“’Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder’ has long been an implicit understanding in the valuing process of artwork. Throughout the 19th century, scholars worked to craft a common definition of what beauty is. It remains a stubborn mystery and a philosophical challenge. Artists are not deterred. Using patterning, valuing cast-off detritus, and finding beauty in clutter and disarray, these artists craft aesthetics in sometimes abstract, and always multi-dimensional spaces. Their work is beautiful; you decide how it is. It’s in your eye.”
