The work of Black Mountain artist Lorna Halper (1924- ) will be featured in a solo exhibition at the Asheville Art Museum. Evident in her earliest work is the indelible influence of Josef Albers. She went on to develop a highly unique approach that combined the principles of Albers's teaching with her own individualized style. Adept in a wide variety of media including drawing, sculpture and painting, Halper''s work displays a masterful exploration of the descriptive qualities of line as well as a thoughtful examination of the relationship of line to the space between, echoing Albers''s directive to "see things in context."
