Title: Artists
Description: Artists: The Creative Personality presents a record of the creative talent which has enriched the American art scene from the 1960s through the 1990s. Jim Arkatov has turned his lens on the wide diversity of artistic styles which have collectively identified our time. The artists represent a wide cross-section of America's creative landscape, ranging from the conceptual to the conservative, from performance art to classical painting, sculpture, ceramics, multi-media and photography.

Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Jim Dine and Billy Al Bengston embody the standard of innovation from the late '50s, bridging the freedom of the abstract expressionists and the popular imagery which would result in "pop" art - epitomized here by such artists as Claes Oldenburg, Roy Lichtenstein and Ed Ruscha. In a gallery of world-class figures that includes Ellsworth Kelly, Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Robert Graham and Alexis Smith, Arkatov has assembled 90 subjects for this collection.
