Robert Schlegel: Italian Journey

Karin Clarke Gallery is pleased to present Italian Journey, a large, solo exhibit of more than thirty smaller and medium-sized works by the late and much beloved Oregon artist Robert Schlegel (1947-2021). Many of these paintings on paper and canvas were created during a trip to Italy in 2006, which Schlegel devoted to plein-air painting, sketching, and studying the country's artistic heritage. Included are charming Tuscan hill towns, rolling hills punctuated by cypress trees, as well as figures, still lives, and some of Schlegel's distinctive Oregon landscapes and houses. Most of these works are being shown for the first time and all were recently framed for this special show that will surely delight viewers and collectors alike.
