Humanities Center Gallery: CLAUDIA STEEL opens Sept. 6 with a talk + reception Sept. 8

The Humanities Center Gallery is exhibiting Claudia Steel Sept. 6-Oct. 27 in Trinity 100. The exhibition spans fifty years of the work by Claudia Steel and will include non-representational serigraphs made during the late 1950s and early 1960s; realistic etchings made from the 1960s through the 1980s; and her newest pieces—large oil paintings, which feature more and less abstracted landscapes. She studied teaching and art at UC Berkeley, Mills College, and the California College of Arts and Crafts and taught at CSU, Chico. At 87, Steel is still filled with energy and enthusiasm for making art.

Steel exhibited with members of the “Berkeley School,“ a moniker coined by Alfred Frankenstein of the San Francisco Chronicle in 1937. She continues to exhibit nationally and internationally, but a significant part of Steel’s efforts over the years have been contributions to Chico’s artistic community. This past spring, Steel showed all new work with her older sister and artist Alice Hutchins in the two-person show Sisters at the 1078 Gallery.

The Humanities Center Gallery is typically open M-F, 8-5. A reception will be held Thursday, Sept. 8, 5-7pm. Steel will provide an artist’s talk at 4pm preceding the reception. For information, call x4642.
