Conflict is a given in our lives. Too often, the result is war. This exhibition samples some of the ways artists show us the carnage, physical and emotional, that we inflict on each other as humans. One of the questions asked here, by example..., is: does the power of that imagery dissipate as the artwork gets reproduced over time? Featuring a mix of original art, old and new, that relates to particular human conflicts over the globe, over the centuries – this exhibition also examines how imagery reproduced from original works of art as, in one case, Picasso’s famous Guernica painting of 1937, still echoes powerfully down the years.

Langdon Quin retired from teaching at the University of New Hampshire in 20...08. We celebrate his efforts as an artist and teacher with this exhibition of works which straddle the millennium, that is, several years either side of Y2K. From the early 1990s to the early 2000s, including work done in America and Europe, this exhibition features his colorfully rendered landscapes, enigmatic figure studies, and taut still life arrangements, in honor of his service to the University and its students.

Alice Spencer has been a collector of different cultures’ textiles – and, by extension, their culture and art – for thirty years. For the last half-dozen years she has paid homage to them as she redesigns and redefines these collected motifs and geometries to extend her own aesthetic vision. Improvising richly-hued yet... highly nuanced compositions, she maintains the integrity of the designs and cultures from which she borrows. And while incorporating their inspiration into a more global culture stream, perhaps she’s shrinking our differences in the process.
The Museum of Art, UNH is pleased to host this colorful blend of recent paintings and collected textiles by this artist who hails from Cornish, New Hampshire and resides in Portland, Maine. We thank her gallery, Aucocisco Gallery in Portland and the Gallery’s owner, Andy Verzosa, for making these paintings available to us. This exhibition also is made possible in part by the Friends of the Museum of Art, UNH.
