Listing influences or making accolades for the late Northwest master William Ivey (1919-1992) would have made this reclusive and modest artist uncomfortable. Even so, Ivey’s passion for painting is abundantly evident and has been highly acclaimed by critics, curators, historians and collectors.
This exhibition of oil paintings embodies the high points of William Ivey’s work. Exuberant, moody, lyrical–these elusively sensual works are superb examples of the artist’s fluency in the language of color, light and form.
