Inside Out: The Paintings of William Harsh

Harsh’s works have been described as Expressionist, Surrealist and Metaphysical. With 40 yrs of art practice, these are distinguished by virtuoso draftsmanship + painting, combine not only modernist art styles but traditionally different genres: landscape, still life, nature study, portrait. Harsh’s oeuvre, w/roots in Picasso, Beckmann & Guston, makes a convincing case for virtues of authenticity, beauty, humor and power; his art delivers aesthetic goods w/out apologies or excuses. —DeWitt Cheng
