Beyond Abstract Expressionism

"Ascension'' (oil on canvas), by the late Budd Hopkins, in the show "Budd Hopkins: Full Circle,'' at the Berta Walker Gallery, Provincetown, July 21-Sept. 3.

The gallery said: "When the idea of creating a traveling exhibition of Budd Hopkins' work was first proposed ... art historian, artist and writer John Perrault was invited to curate the exhibition. Before Perrault's untimely death in 2015, Perrault wrote the following: 'Budd Hopkins was embedded in his time but also removed from it. His intelligence, which is clearly revealed in his writings about art, also shines through his paintings. He was an original. (These exhibitions will) display Hopkins' considerable talents as a painter and make a case for his place beyond the category of second-generation Abstract Expressionism."'
