Richard Williams: Lady Day
March 2 - 26, 1986
"In the subject matter, these works focus on the social and psychological dilemma in which a human being finds herself as the chosen mate of God. In stark contrast to the usual depiction of events such as the Annunciation as spiritual and otherworldly experiences, Williams deals with the more immediate human emotions embodied in this event, emotions described or alluded to in biblical accounts, yet rarely allowed to enter visual interpretations."Dale Amundson, curator
