‘Elusive Americans’ Exhibition Coming to Hopkins Arts Center

Editor’s Note: The following announcement comes from the . The Elusive Americans runs from Sept. 20 to Oct. 20, with a public opening reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 22.

This show explores, from the artist’s perspective, the heroic and passionate figures who inhabit the margins of American culture — The Elusive Americans. Mostly self-taught, Tina Blondell’s early exposure to and study of the visual arts took place in the great museums of Europe, she having lived as a child in Austria, France and Italy. Her life as a polyglot has revealed the inherent limits of written and spoken language as tools for expressing the human condition. Accordingly, she has dedicated her life and career to mastering a more universal form of communication — the visual imagery of painting.  Ms. Blondell’s work is included in the collections of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and Weisman Art Museum.

Additional information regarding Ms. Blondell is available at: www.tinablondell.com
