January 21 - April 18, 2004
John Wilson's life traverses much of the twentieth century. Early training at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and study with Fernand Leger in Paris and muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros in Mexico City encouraged Wilson's strong interest in the human condition and profoundly influenced his artistic vision. In 1985 the Congress of the United States awarded a commission to Wilson for a memorial bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. This retrospective exhibition includes paintings, drawings, sculpture and prints dating from 1938 to 2003. |
