This lively work suggests at once the geometry of the city and the auto engine that once powered its economy. Graphite, paint, crayon and paper collage combine to create a disciplined abstraction of dark lines and rectangles against a pale background. A few of the pieces in the collection jump way out of the prevailing urban aesthetic. These paintings speak to the city dweller's intermittent desperation for a day in the country, but there's something oddly mechanistic about Leonard's trees and stream. A Sustaining Passion continues through Sunday, July 23, at the University of Arizona Museum of Art.
Admission is free.
