The Painting Center is pleased to announce an Invitational exhibition of paintings entitled Color Key. Painting Center member Patrick Webb has selected 22 artists to participate. He has chosen artist of many different styles of work.

The curator writes in his Notes on Color Key, “In thinking about this invitational I initially intended to explore only a fairly conventional idea of color key in which the overall color tone of a painting sets a tone. It is an idea that is particularly present in landscape painting where the unity of the light colors the entire palette. However while walking through the Museum of Modern Art I began to reflect on how in the early part of the 20th century color harmony, like that of music, began to expand. So I have decided in my selection of paintings to explore how color harmony directs the viewer towards meaning.
