Duncan Hannah (Not Duncan Hines) Offers Cautionary Tales (Not About Cake)

Cautionary Tales: Works by Duncan Hannah
Pierre Menard Gallery (10 Arrow Street, Cambridge)
Opening Reception Friday, November 14, 6-9 pm
Runs through December 14

Duncan Hannah's austere, delicate works have an introspective quality and a focus on development from adolescence to adulthood. His paintings have been described as recording "Edwardian daydreams" and compared to Edward Hopper, Francis Picabia, Giorgio di Chirico, and Balthus. Hannah himself says, "I have a personal agenda, roaming around an alternative art history, to see what I can and can't do. It's all part of a lifetime search for an artistic self that could mirror my own interior world." Visit his Cautionary Tales to see what you can learn about art, life, and the ties between the two.
