John Daniel: Sculptures & Drawings 1964-2007
November 30, 2007-March 7, 2008

This exhibition celebrates 43 years of art-making by John Daniel, SFA professor emeritus of art. During his tenure at SFA, Daniel developed the sculpture and expressive drawing areas, both of which remain important to the mission of the School of Art. Daniel is best known for his work as a sculptor and as a draftsman, and his work is noted for its sensitivity to materials and its comment on the human condition.
