Reed Cardwell: All the Presidents (Men)
1955 Julian Avenue, San Diego, 92113
Cost: Free
The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library is pleased to exhibit the paintings of Reed Cardwel at the Athenaeum Art Center in Logan Heights (Studio at Bread & Salt) from November 7 through December 31. During the exhibition, we will have a hands-on art activity to paint the new President. Between 2005 and 2009 Reed Cardwell painted a series of all 44 presidents from George Washington to Barak Obama. The expressive paintings are based on official portraits. Each president looks at the viewer with a pensive, determined, and self-confident manner. Reed Cardwell (1954-2013) was an artist and teacher at the Athenaeum from 1997 to 2013. He taught abstract art at the Athenaeum’s School of the Arts to a group of fiercely devoted students.
