Gallery Talk with Ruth Fine on the Figurative Work of William Daley

Lecturer: Ruth Fine, retired curator of special projects in modern art at the National Gallery of Art and author

 

Join Ruth Fine in a presentation on the early ceramic sculpture of William Daley on exhibit in Woodmere's exhibition, Drawn From Earth: Figurative Sculpture and Works on Paper by William Daley.  Fine will offer insight on Daley’s life and influences and his figurative works of the 1960s, a period of work that is less well-known than his later large-scale vessels. She will show how the exploration of the human figure was an essential component of his creative vision that would evolve over the next fifty years.  Fine is the author  of William Daley: Ceramic Artist.
