Professor Emeritus Manny Farber at the Quint Gallery

Comprised of approximately 70 drawings the exhibition will feature works completed over the last two years by the 91 year-old artist. The drawings, which are vibrantly colored, expressionistic views of his garden will be hung salon style, pinned to the wall as they where in Manny’s studio.

Born in Douglas, Arizona in 1917, Farber began painting in the 1930s. Before joining the faculty of the University of California, San Diego Visual Arts Department in 1969, he was a film critic in New York, writing for the New Republic, the Nation and ARTFORUM. Known in the 1950s and 1960s for his shaped canvas abstractions, Farber began painting still life’s in 1974. He retired from teaching in 1987 and has been painting at his studio in Leucadia, California ever since. His solo exhibitions since 1982 have included the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Gagosian Gallery, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburg; PS1, New York and the Rose Art Museum, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA.
