Nelson Shanks: Mastery & Meaning, the Union League, Philadelphia

[Tom Edgerton]

Alex--

Thanks again to you both for everything...I had a great time in Philadelphia! Hope Garth got some shots, as I was too busy looking to use my camera. It was a treat to see Garth's Union League portrait in a giant hall with all of the past League presidents...it really holds its own up there.

Everyone--see this show if at all possible; it's every bit as strong as Alex says and more. The venue is rich too, and the perfect setting for the works. There are about fifty or so by Mr. Shanks, I believe, and a room of work by students and guest faculty at Incamminati.

Alex is right--there is a quality to these works that just doesn't translate in reproduction.

Best to all--TE
