James Crable Photography Exhibit
School of Art Design and Art History
Join us as we celebrate the return of James Crable, emeritus professor of Art and Art History at JMU! An early adopter of large-scale color photography, James Crable has been exploring the possibilities of the medium for nearly 40 years.
WHEN: May 2nd- June 24th
WHERE: Duke Hall Gallery
His patterned yet geometrically diverse artwork, which generally includes features such as doorways, sidewalks, walls and stairways, has been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad, including at the Taubman Museum of Art.
Like a quilt-maker, Crable weaves together a variety of simple images into an engaging whole.
