FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Janaury 13, 2000 CONTACT: Alina Campana (781) 283.2071   LENNOX DUNBAR: THIRTY SIX UNITS ON EXHIBIT AT WELLESLEY COLLEGE WELLESLEY, Mass. -- LENNOX DUNBAR: Thirty Six Units Dunbar, a professor of art at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, Scotland, created this series of 36 intaglio prints from over two hundred plates. "The plates were made as directly and spontaneously as possible," writes Dunbar, and their creation "involved cutting into the surface as well as painting on it." He spent three years working and re-working, proofing and re-proofing, as he tested various color and design alternatives. The work is allegorical in content, many of the pieces dealing with aspects of agriculture, archaeology, and "the evolution of the landscape, architecture, and the making of art itself." Lindsey Gordon, Director of Peacock Gallery in Aberdeen, writes, "This is an artist at maturity where hard won skills look effortless and where the images seem to flow equally effortlessly and without contrivance. The resulting work is both particualr in that it is Auchnagatt and universal in that it is about the biggest and simplest of things -- man and nature and their impact on each other." All events are free and open to the public. Hours of operation: Monday-Friday: 9 am - 8 pm Weekends: noon - 5 pm ### Wellesley College: Providing an excellent liberal arts education for women who will make a difference in the world.
