Over the past few years, many have pointed to the supposed end of the world as seen in the Maya calendar that seems to show an end point of December 21, 2012. This exhibit, scheduled to take place before that end, will look at both historic and contemporary artists who have illustrated The End. We are fortunate to have in our Permanent Collection a number of works created in Post World War I Germany. Internationally renowned collectors Marvin and Janet Fishman donated the items and the work demonstrates the depth of the devastation that took place in Germany following the end of the Great War. This group of drawings and prints by George Grosz, Rudolf Schlichter and Wilhelm Höpfner depict macabre scenes reflecting the post war chaos and destruction of lives and property. In work by more contemporary artists we will see evidence of another round of anxiety brought on by fears of global conflicts and economic collapse.
The exhibit will include examples from the Permanent Collection, and special loans from artists and collectors. Proposed artists include John Balsley, Tom Berenz, Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, Warrington Colescott, Jeffrey Bogartte, Karl Jahnke, Maxim Kantor, Käthe Kollwitz, Norbert Kox and William Thompson, Richard Notkin, Jean-Pierre Roy and James Stephens. Other artists are also under consideration.
Opening reception date: October 17 from 5-7 pm

SPECK OF ATLANTIS - BIMINI: THE TOP OF GOD'S MOUNTAIN, by
visionary artist Norbert H. Kox, now available (8 1/2 x 11 paperback, 118 pages, 149 color images, printed in USA on archival paper) http://nkox.homestead.com/BooksByNHK.html
This writing connects the last remaining speck of Atlantis with a tiny island in the Atlantic called Bimini, and presents many of the artworks (including esoteric energy paintings) created by Kox on the Island over a period of eleven years, along with the Apocalyptic Visual Parable paintings inspired directly by the Bimini setting.The Picture Perfect Jesus series was created in Bimini (2003-2004). Many of those images are included in A SPECK OF ATLANTIS - BIMINI: THE TOP OF GOD'S MOUNTAIN. Several of the images have appeared in the Raw vision article mentioned below, along with a detailed description of how they came to be:"Masquerade" is an article by Professor David Damkoehler, in the Raw Vision 2008 Winter Issue #65 (December) about Norbert H. Kox's artworks depicting Warner Sallman's Head Of Christ. Damkoehler offers insights into understanding the subversive imagery in Kox's paintings: "In 1992 Norbert H. Kox inherited a framed print, a portrait of Christ that had hung in a prominent position in his parents' home in Green Bay, Wisconsin. This portrait was to inspire a series of skillfully executed works that exploit visual and textual puns to illustrate Kox's deeply skeptical attitude towards organized religion. ..." http://www.rawvision.com/resources/norbert-kox
