Terrain Gallery 50th Anniversary Exhibition Opening / Aesthetic Realism Foundation

In 1955, the Terrain Gallery opened. I remember the New York art scene was filled with lively discussions about art. Beauty, it was felt, couldn't be defined. Eli Siegel, founder of Aesthetic Realism, asked: Is Beauty the Making One of Opposites? Since then--1955--the Terrain Gallery has had shows of many different styles of painting, sculpture, mixed media--with artists participating in discussions. These exhibitions have been of the highest calibre, showing that whatever style of art was popular, what Eli Siegel saw and explained about the meaning of beauty is true. He saw that beauty is the making one of opposites--and at the same time, he showed the value of art in our everyday lives--how it explains how we want to be.

This 50th Anniversary Exhibition Opening is important in the history of art. Be there!
