East West Encore
Last April's "East-West" show at Murphy-Hill Gallery
was so exciting,
Mary Qian and Miguel Malagon
decided they would mount it again
at the Palette and Chisel.
Here's some of the pieces
that were also shown
at Murphy-Hill:
Zhi Wei Tu
Sherrie McGraw

As before,
the concept of the show
is a little fuzzy.
Since the traditional
Chinese brush painters,
like Andy Chan,
have been left out,
this time it seems to be
mostly about
Chinese social realism
and its European roots
with an emphasis
on the Russians.
While the artists
who are neither Chinese, Russian,
or social realists
seem to have been included
only because the organizers like their work,
making this a motley conglomeration
like every other
Palette and Chisel group show.
And like almost every other P&C show,
no attempt was made
to publicize the show
beyond an email
to the membership.
Zhi Wei Tu
Here's my favorite,
a portrait of Jerry Ruiz
done at the weekly
3-hour members' portrait session
late Sunday afternoon.

Helen Oh
Nicolai Fechin (1881 - 1955)
(the three Fechin pieces come
from Val's collection.
It's a real shame
that the Art Institute of Chicago
does not have a single piece
by this important Russian-American artist)
