Anyone familiar with his paintings is aware of his skill with drapery and table linens. The draped fabrics in his work reflect the symbolic ritual of his early-life religious background. Light bathes each scene, casting shadows that affirm the compacted effects of perspective depth, adding to the spectators' evanescent sense of reality. Pensive and meditative, each picture asks for a sensory or memorialized response, drawing a self-fulfilling observer into a monologue flooded with images of daily ceremonies, or better still, an event where everyday habits and expectations easily give way to special rituals. The museum is closed Monday and holidays.
All exhibits are free and open to the public.
