This exhibition honors the singular vision and dedication of the determined woman whose name the art school bore. Neibert Chouinard started out with nothing but her love for young artists and their creative spirit and her generous need to offer them encouragement and training.The number and diversity of well-known artists who passed through Chouinard remains astounding crossing at least three generations: first Millard Sheets, Lorser Feitelson, Emerson Woelffer, Frederick Hammersley and later John Altoon, Robert Irwin, Connor Everts, Joe Goode, Ed Ruscha, Llyn Foulkes, John Mason and the next generation Chuck Arnoldi,Mary Corse, Larry Bell, Allen Ruppersberg, Tom Wudl, Elsea Rady to mention a few. They embody our history from plein air impressionism to post surrealism, from Abstract Expressionism to Light and Space, from Pop and Minimalism to the Conceptualism of the early seventies.
