The Butler Institute of American Art has acquired a painting by mid-twentieth century master artist, Jackson Pollock. The work, titled Silver and Black, measures 21.25 x 15.75 inches and was painted with oil and metallic paint in 1950. The painting is a gift from a Western Pennsylvania collector whose family acquired the work in 1958.
Jackson Pollock (1912-1956) was known for a particular gestural style in which he would drip paint from a variety of tools to create a web of energetic strokes over the surface of a canvas.

Artist-photographer Stephen Althouse draws from personal experiences as inspiration for his visual expressions of life. He combines found or fabricated objects into cryptic assemblages and then photographs the assemblages onto large format film. Lacing his images with visual autobiographical narrative themes that recur and crisscross throughout his images, Althouse has created a unique and mysterious visual language of personal symbols and metaphors.

Esther Nisenthal Krinitz, along with her sister Mania, were the only members of their family, and among the few Jews in their Polish village, to survive the Holocaust. At the age of 15, Esther refused the Nazi order for the Jews to report to a nearby railroad station for relocation. She and her sister separated from their family and never saw them again. In 1977, at the age of 50, Krinitz began creating works of fabric art to depict her stories of survival. The exhibition is on loan from Art and Remembrance. E.N. Krinitz
