Description
Location:
Baron and Ellin Gordon Art Galleries
Description:
To look at an artist's work critically involves the opportunity to look at a number of works that artist has produced. Old Dominion University is fortunate to have the Baron and Ellin Gordon bequest of self-taught artists of the 20th and 21st centuries in which works by a number of the artists have been collected in depth by the Gordons. For this third installation of the Baron and Ellin Gordon Collection of Self-Taught Art, members of the ODU art faculty discuss diverse artists in the collection and his/her place in contemporary art. These contributions give scope to the collectors' vision that has shaped this unique body of contemporary self-taught art and add insight to this field of study. These discussions address the concept that self-taught art should be approached with the same seriousness and inclusion as the work of academically trained artists.

Old Dominion University
Located in historic Norfolk, Va., the 188 acres of the Old Dominion University campus stretch from the Elizabeth River to the Lafayette River. Although situated in a metropolitan setting, the University offers a small-college look and feel, with tree-lined walkways, a mix of old and new buildings, and colorful gardens and ponds. Founded in 1930 as a division of the College of William and Mary, Old Dominion has grown into its own over the years and is now one of only 101 public universities with a Carnegie/Doctoral Research-Extensive distinction.Post a Countdown Widget
