Through most of September, the Carroll House Galleries (238 Main Street) will exhibit paintings by Robert S. Neuman, who taught art at KSC from 1972–1990. Neuman, an abstract painter, currently works and lives in the Boston area. He was the very first artist to exhibit at the prestigious Pace Gallery of NY when it first opened in Boston 50 years ago, and he has received Guggenheim and Fulbright fellowships. He began teaching in 1952 and subsequently taught at several schools, including Brown, Harvard, and Keene State. He has shown widely and has work in major museums and private collections.

Neuman’s work has an ability to combine precise hard-edge geometries with bold physical gesture and studied primitivism. This exhibit will include a selection of works dating from 1961–1987 and several works by some of Neuman’s former students, who wished to pay tribute to their admired teacher.

Art faculty member Craig Stockwell will curate the exhibit, which will be on display from September 6–30. The gallery hours are Wednesday from 2–5 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from  noon–5. There will be an opening reception, free and open to the public, on Wednesday September 5, from 4–6 p.m. For more information, contact the Art Department at 603-358-2040.
