NYCITY FIELD TRIP



Freshmen and upper class Compass students and faculty took a day trip to New York city. We visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Art Museum and had a rockin' lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe.


Doug and Mike Starns' work on that last day on the roof of the MET.

FRED TOMASELLI
This focused mid-career survey presents a selection of Fred Tomaselli’s unique hybrid paintings and collages from 1990 to the present. These layered paintings combine cutout images of plants, birds, smiling mouths, and hands (clipped from field guides and magazines) with passages of paint and actual prescription pills and hallucinogenic plants to create highly stylized, eye-popping compositions. Tomaselli’s artwork draws upon a wide range of sources from both popular culture and art history, and from his own hobbies of gardening, kayaking, and bird-watching.
