Foltz Fine Art will present "Legacy," a solo exhibition of works by William Anzalone. The exhibition is more an ode to the loving partnership Anzalone shared with his late wife than a reflection on the legacy of the artist himself, even as he approaches his 90th year of life.

Anzalone speaks openly about the lasting impact his wife Louise continues to have on his life. Louise, often the subject of his figurative paintings, passed away in 2012, and her presence is keenly felt not only in conversation with the artist, but also in the enduring images of her Anzalone has painted over his lifetime

Legacy will feature new, large-scale, landscape paintings on canvas accompanied by a selection of works on paper. In these paintings, Anzalone often organizes his compositions by loosely alluding to architectural elements as viewed from his Round Top home, such as a wooden structure from his porch.

These structures, painted with one of his favorite black pigments (Anzalone readily expresses his love of the color black) serve to ground the painting, calling to mind the grids of Piet Mondrian but with the bulk of Robert Motherwell. From these black structures, Anzalone can then riff with paint, and that is exactly what he does. Energetic bursts of mark making explode with color and light creating lush, foliage-likepassages. The resulting image is a lush, light filled landscape of the artist’s own invention.

The exhibition will remain on display through January 18, 2025.
