Katonah Museum of Art Presents Self-Taught Artists from William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation

The Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah, New York is hosting "Inside the Outside: Five Self-Taught Artists from the William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation" from July 19 to October 11, 2015. This exhibition showcases five significant American artists working outside formal training traditions. James Castle and Bill Traylor contribute worlds on paper displayed in salon-style arrangements. Thornton Dial presents powerful mural works, while Nellie Mae Rowe offers intricate designs rich with color and structure. Willie Young, who attended museum school classes, contributes visionary drawings that diverge from classic art brut aesthetics. The exhibition draws from the extensive collection of the William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation, representing a selection from their substantial holdings of both trained and untrained artists. Located in Westchester County approximately one hour from Grand Central Terminal, the museum provides an alternative destination for art enthusiasts during New York's late summer gallery closures.
