Master Artist Tribute IX: Richard McLean

April 22 - June 17

Begun in 1990, the Master Artist Tribute series is designed to showcase artists whose significance as teachers of art is nearly as profound as their estimable bodies of work. Past recipients have been Wayne Thiebaud, Nathan Oliveira, Manuel Neri, Ruth Bernhard, Frank Lobdell, Stephen de Staebler and Carlos Villa. The exhibition will present several of McLean’s major equine oils and watercolors as well as landscapes and still lifes plus a series of never before exhibited watercolor portraits of friends and artists. It will be McLean’s first retrospective.
