Figurative artist Jean Seidenberg’s portfolio of work spans more than fifty years. He is a prolific artist whose work includes paintings, drawings, sculpture and photography. Originally from New York, Seidenberg relocated to New Orleans in 1951 and has contributed to the contemporary art market that now flourishes in the city. He established New Orleans’ first independent bronze casting foundry, was a founding member of the city’s first nonprofit contemporary art collective, the Orleans Gallery, and was an instructor at Tulane University. His subject has “persistently been family and friends, children and lovers, and the relationship of artist to model within the intimacy of the studio.” This modern realist’s exhibition at the St. Tammany Art Association will include several new pieces as well as a sampling of his work over time.
“un soupcon” will be on display at the St. Tammany Art Association April 13th – May 11th. The artist’s opening reception will take place on Saturday, April 13th from 4pm to 7pm. Copies of Jean’s book will also be available. The exhibit and opening reception is free and open to the public.
