Etching Out Dreams in Contemporary Prints

NEW YORK - July 4, 2016 - PRLog -- KADS New York is pleased to announce an exhibition "Etching Out Dreams, Contemporary Slovak Prints by Dusan Kallay, Kamila Stanclova, and Katarina Vavrova" at Derfner Judaica Museum + The Art Collection at Hebrew Home at Riverdale. A wide range of color etchings selected by curator Emily O'Leary are on loan from KADS New York and will be on view at the Elma and Milton A. Gilbert Pavilion Gallery from July 27 until October 23.

Three contemporary award-winning Slovak artists will be featured, Dusan Kallay (b. 1948) and Kamila Štanclova (b. 1945)-both students of Slovak master Vincent Hloznik (1919-1997)-and Katarina Vavrova (b. 1964), who studied with Hloznik's protégé Albin Brunovsky (1935-1997).

"The graphic arts have long played a pivotal role in the history of Slovak art, before, during and after the Communist era. Key characteristics of modern Slovak art include figuration, narrative, the influence of Surrealism and an underlying sense of fantasy alongside an incisive, subtle social critique." -- curator Emily O'Leary

This exhibition will take place in conjunction with a separate showing of 20 linocut prints by Hloznik from the Hebrew Home Art Collection, which will be on view in early September at the BBLA Gallery at Bohemian National Hall, 321 East 73^rd Street in Manhattan.
