Gallery Talk: Jack Boul: Perceptual Painting
June 29, 2:00 p.m.

While Boul is justly famed for his etchings and monoprints, this exhibition concentrates on his accomplishments as a painter and on his influence as a teacher. Boul focused on capturing the essence of his subjects using basic shapes, light and dark values, and color, rather than detailed accuracy. As a teacher, he advocated the importance of overlooking small details in favor of interpreting in paint the people, places, and things as they appear to the eye. He was able to move beyond mere appearances to capture profound, poetic truths in his art.
