Glenside, Pa. – An exhibition of recent works by Robert Godfrey, artist-teacher, from New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, will be held from February 21 to March 16 at the Richard Eugene Fuller Gallery of Beaver College, Easton and Church Roads, Glenside.
The public is invited to the gallery talk Mr. Godfrey will give on Wednesday afternoon, February 21st at 3:00 o’clock and to the opening reception following the talk at 4:30 p.m. in the art gallery.
Mr. Godfrey works in representational modes which includes figures and landscapes and is an artist interested in extending these scenes beyond the immediate act of mere reproduction.
Assistant Professor of Art at Westminster College (New Wilmington, Pa.) and Director of the Westminster College Art Gallery, Mr. Godfrey has exhibited extensively– in the Charlottenborg Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark; Philadelphia College of Art; Indiana University Museum of Art; Krannert Art Museum, University of Illinois; Art Institute of Philadelphia, and the Woodmere Gallery (Chestnut Hill).
Mr. Godfrey received his B.F.A. degree in painting from the Philadelphia College of Art, his M.F.A. in painting from Indiana University (Bloomington, Ind.) and has studied at the Royal Academy for the Fine Arts, Copenhagen, Denmark where he was a Fulbright-Hays Scholar. He has been the recipient of a Buhl Foundation Grant, two faculty research grants at Westminster College and research and materials grant while at the University of Illinois.
In the Fall of 1977 Mr. Godfrey was the juror of the Eastern Pennsylvania Regional Drawing Exhibition held at Beaver College’s Fuller Art Gallery.
This exhibit is sponsored by the Beaver College Fine Arts Department and is part of its program to bring both nationally known artists to Beaver, and those artists, such as Mr. Godfrey, who are building their reputations.
