Harry Stanbridge, Transfer, Zion Series. Acquired in 2008.

November 1 – November 14, 1983

McPherson Library Gallery

An exhibition of 7 years of paintings by Harry Stanbridge that embody the motif that human existence is made up of many, often painful, passages.

Human existence is punctuated with passages, doors in and our, exits and entrances through which we move, at times hindered, at other times freely. … Every canvas, (shape as a vertical rectangle) is itself a passage, one preceding onto and into the next, carrying along the spiritual, emotional and intellectual baggage that escapes fires at the gate.

-Harry Stanbridge, November 1983
