After seeing a daguerrotype (one of the very first photo processes), the painter Paul Delaroche declared "Painting is dead."  Of course that was more than 150 years ago, and yet people are still making paintings and painting is still a highly valued art form.  Bruce Linn, who curated this show, is a painter himself and works for UofL.  If you go in the Cressman Center downtown, you're likely to meet him.

There are a lot of good artists in this show, including Denise Burge who will be showing at the 930 in a couple months for the exhibit "Conspiring with Nature".  Letitita Quesenberry is also in this show and she's one of my favorite local artists for sure.  I've never met her though, so I'll try to meet her at the reception thursday.
