These Moved Me.
A few years ago Sepncer Museum curator Steve Goddard asked artist, musician and thinker, Dalton Howard (1943-2010) to list his favorite artists. The list he jotted down after much reflection was not just a run down of Howard's influences, but a thoughtful pairing of figurative artists with abstract artists. As it turned out, a number of the artists were represented in the Spencer's collection by works that are wonderful to see together, and the idea of an exhibit emerged. Exhibited here is a selection from Howard's list, with several of his own works from area collections displayed in the center of the gallery.
Since 1992 Howard's "day job" was serving as a security officer at the Spencer Museum of Art. This exhibition is offered in celebration of the many ways he touched members of our local arts community.
