William Arnett
William Arnett is the co-curator of the traveling exhibition
"The Quilts of Gee's Bend"and co-author
of the acclaimed
The Quilts of Gee's Bend and
Geeâ's Bend: The Women and Their Quilts, as
well as the editor of the two-volume
Souls Grown Deep: African American
Vernacular Art of the South. Â
The Quilts of Gee’s Bend
Gee's Bend is located in southwest Alabama, on a sliver of
land made into a virtual island by a bend in the Alabama
River. Isolated without a ferry service for decades, the
women of Gee's Bend developed a unique, innovative, and
resourceful quilting aesthetic. The quilts were brought to the
public eye by the traveling exhibition, co-curated by Arnett and
sponsored by the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, in 2002.
"Prints from Gee's Bend" at the
Elizabeth Leach Gallery
Mary Lee Bendolph and Louisiana Bendolph, two of the Gee's
Bend quilters, have worked with master printers in Northern
California to produce a set of twelve colorful etchings.
These new works reflect the aesthetic of improvisation and color
play that inform the quilts. "Prints from Gee's
Bend" opens simultaneously with "2D from
3D," an exhibit of contemporary and historical drawings
from artists known primarily for their sculptural work. There will
be a reception for Mary Lee Bendolph and Louisiana Bendolph from 2
p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, October 22 at the Elizabeth Leach
Gallery at 417 N.W. 9th Avenue in downtown Portland.
"Prints from Gee's Bend" will be on view
through October 29, 2005.
