"Leonard Baskin: Imaginary Artists"

Leonard Baskin (1922-2000) was an American sculptor, illustrator and printmaker -- best known as a figurative sculptor and a creator of monumental woodcuts. His most prominent public commissions include sculpture for the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and the Woodrow Wilson Memorial, both in Washington D.C., and the Holocaust Memorial in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

The exhibit, Imaginary Artists is a collection of 25 watercolor sketches that acknowledges the Western art historical canon through irreverent references to traditional compositions and famous artists. His group of imaginary — or one can imagine uncredited — artists were often figured as the assistants, students, or rivals to the most noted painters of the centuries and include “Smedley Webb, little-known student of T. Eakins” and “Antonin du Colines, assistant to Poussin.”

Opens Sept. 8 in Gettysburg College, Schmucker Art Gallery, 300 N. Washington St. Hours: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday. Building is accessible.
