BROOKLYN COLLEGE— On Feb. 10, the Brooklyn College (BC) Art Gallery unveiled its newest exhibit, titled “A Radiant Simplicity,” a collection of paintings created by Lois Dodd, a New Jersey-born, Brooklyn-Based painter whose iconic works are featured in exhibits across the world. Nearly 50 paintings by Dodd were chosen to be displayed, as well as featured in an accompanying catalog prefaced by BC Professor Mona Hadler.
“A Radiant Simplicity” also featured a 45-minute documentary about Dodd, created by Gerrit Schreurs Fotografie & Film, to accompany Dodd’s art as well as a way for Dodd to share her own life story. This documentary was created as a companion piece for her exhibit at the Kunstmuseum in The Hague, and now remains as much a part of her exhibit as the actual paintings she created.
