Compositions in Black and White juxtaposes a multitude of objects—from Pueblo pottery and contemporary prints to sculptural reliefs and a 19th century dress—that share a similar color palette of black and white.  Not just a formal comparison of objects and ideas, this exhibition investigates the symbolic, metaphoric and practical use of color and dynamic composition to convey meaning.  Features over 55 works including selections by Leon Golub (1922-2004), Philip Morsberger, Julian Stanczak, Thom Shaw and Kara Walker.
