I know that Harry Liggett, Tom Moore and Kathy Hagedorn have posted on this blog previously about the 4 Guys art exhibit, but I must chime in after checking out the art gallery at Moca Maiden on 20 N. High Street.
This is a treat art-wise but also an intriguing stroll down memory lane for those of us who made the BJ zing and sing in the 20th century.
There's Art Krummel's interesting nudes, John Backderf's zany and WAAAAY out comic strips, Chuck Ayers' intriguing and always magnificent productions and Dennis Balogh's classy portraits of celebrities. The bonus is a trip down memory lane with Bud Morris' and Walt Neal's weekly sports and news events strips from the good ol' days at the Beacon. Dennis and Walt did a lot of Channels covers for me when I was the BJ TV Editor. Walt and Bud, unfortunately, are deceased.
And there are looks at the work of oldtimers so old that they left before I arrived in 1969. I retired in 1996.
The building houses the Upstairs Gallery in the Musica Complex with Moca Maiden. The front entrance is 20 N. High Street but Paula and I were lucky enough to find a parking spot at the rear entrance on Maiden Lane, the alley that is parallel to and west of High Street.
It was an hour well-spent, even if you didn't know the artists.
But hurry! The exhibit ends Thursday, May 28. Hours for the exhibit are 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. till closing on Saturday.
