On July 8, we will explore Northside Light by Kendall Shaw.

Kendal Shaw, Northside Light, 1961, Oil on canvas, Gift of the artist, 2003.17.1

Kendall Shaw is a New Orleans artist who gained national and international recognition with the Pattern and Decoration movement in painting. Combining his interests in mathematical patterns and systems, his work is an accumulation of diagonals and shapes delineated by contrasting colors. “How can I make a work so alive that one must react as if to a living creature overflowing with energy? I want to place life upon the wall.”
