The Everhart Museum is pleased to host a special opening reception for Herbert Simon: Sculptor… Painter… Printmaker… Master, a retrospective of the artist’s life’s work, which is on view November 21–February 16 in the Museum’s Main Gallery.

Wine, beer, and light fare are all included with the cost of admission. The program features remarks and an opportunity to meet the artist.

Herbert Simon: Sculptor… Painter… Printmaker… Master presents the wide breadth of the artist’s prolific and diverse output in all facets of his artistic quest. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, teaching and practicing throughout the United States, and finally settling in Northeastern Pennsylvania, Simon shifted from representationalism to pure abstraction, eventually settling on a place somewhere between the two. Having studied with leading figures of abstraction including Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell, and Phillip Guston in the mid-century, and highly inspired by the industrial landscape of Northeastern Pennsylvania and simple everyday objects later, Simon developed an approach encompassing both styles to satisfy his vision.
