THE CONSTANT ARTIST
Opening June 9–August 12
Paul Feinberg’s photographs and interviews, or “word portraits,” have enlivened magazine articles, books, and exhibitions both locally and nationally for decades. He has been particularly obsessed with interviewing and photographing artists in our own community. This exhibition features early and late works of art by nine Washington artists, together with Feinberg’s photographs of the artists early and late in their careers.
Artists in the exhibition include, Lisa Montag Brotman, Manon Cleary, Rebecca Davenport, Clark V. Fox, Sam Gilliam, Tom Green, Fred Folsom, Margarida Kendall, and Joe White.

From Schiffer Books
 
“The Greater Washington, D.C., capital region is not only home to some of the best art museums in the world, hundreds of art galleries, non-profit art spaces, alternative art venues, and art organizations, but it also supports one of the best visual art scenes in the nation. Celebrating this art scene, award-winning artist and prominent critic and commentator, F. Lennox Campello, has compiled works by 100 leading contemporary visual artists who represent the tens of thousands of artists working in this culturally and ethnically diverse region. Equally diverse are the artistic styles and media you will see in this catalog, the first of its kind for the capital area. With more than 640 works of art, Campello offers a primer for both the savvy art collector and the beginning collector, highlighting his selection of emerging artists who deserve more attention.”
