"Ruth Miller’s Enduring View" Gallery Talk with

The canvases in the exhibition highlight Miller’s ongoing interrogation of place, temporality, reality, and symbolism. As an artist who nearly always paints from observation, Miller has developed a practice that is profoundly informed by the specificity of her environs. Rather than painting transient moments, Miller searches for what she calls an “enduring view” in a process of working that uncovers the underlying geometry of the “unique individuality of the whole.” She continues, “And if I’m lucky, the painting will look back at me with a force of a portrait.” Ruth Miller’s Enduring View foregrounds the artist’s persistent pursuit of truth by repeatedly revisiting recurring motifs of trees, skulls, gourds, and pitchers.

Upcoming Gallery Talks:
Wednesday, October 11, 1pm ET
Janice Nowinski and Clintel Steed

Wednesday, October 18, 1pm ET
Glenn Goldberg, John Goodrich, and John Mitchell

Each part of this journey has been a metamorphosis; but together the experiences are layered one upon another creating a dense foundation of scholarship. I will feel the reverberation of this deep learning forever as I incorporate my new insights into my art practice." - Catherine Bickford (CERT 2024) @bickfordcatherine
