Its collection includes works of art that feature some of the best-known names in portraiture: William Hogarth, Thomas Gainsborough, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Benjamin West, John Smibert, or Smybert (the Scot who died in Boston in 1751 and who is credited with bringing portraiture to the Americas), and my personal favorite, Rembrandt Peale.

On May 17, the LSU Museum of Art opened Reunion, an exhibition featuring the works of three Southern Louisiana artists, James Burke, Edward Pramuk, and Robert Warrens. This fantastically rg whimsical exhibition reunites and celebrates the artistic careers of these men, who taught at the LSU School of Art from the 1960s through the 1990s.

in the pages of Life magazine in 1949, it signaled a shift whereby American art became the standard against which all other art would be measured. During this time, many artists flocked to large U.S. cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, but three talented artists chose to make their creative marks in Louisiana. James Burke, Edward Pramuk, and Robert Warrens, each from Northern- Midwestern states, exhibited their works in galleries and museums throughout the country, but ultimately decided to make their place in art history in Baton Rouge. Burke and Pramuk arrived at the LSU School of Art in 1964; Warrens came three years later. They taught painting, drawing, printmaking, and design throughout much of the 1970s, ’80s, and ’90s. Their works range in size and medium, but assuredly define each era with a true attention to current art trends.

Robert Warrens became three of the most influential and legendary figures behind contemporary art in South Louisiana. Reunion features over 50 of their works, including prints, paintings, collages, drawings, works on paper, and large sculptures. The exhibition includes pieces both created by the artists during their tenures at LSU and artworks representing their current styles. Among the works on display are insightful self-portraits, unique depictions of animals and nature, nonfigurative representations of interiors, landscapes, and cities in South Louisiana, and artworks illustrating their creative processes.

Edward Pramuk, and Robert Warrens, will be on display through When Abstract-Expressionist artist, Jackson Pollock, appeared August 9.
