Thursday, March 1, 5-7pm. The Conscientious Eye –Drawings by C. Waldo Love.
Please join us at the CSU-Pueblo Fine Art Gallery for an exhibition of figure drawings by Colorado Artist C. Waldo Love. Born in Washington D.C., Charles Waldo Love was a long-time staff member in Denver at the Museum of Natural History, where he created habitat backgrounds, many of them atmospheric, colorful dioramas. He was also employed by the Colorado State Historical Society and did a number of historical portraits. On display will be drawing he completed between 1899 and 1902 while he was a student of Henry Read (a founder of what would become the Denver Art Museum) at the Reed Art School. It was on the basis of his work here that, in 1902, he won a scholarship to the Art Students’ League in New York City. From there, C. Waldo Love went on to study in Paris and worked as a commercial artist in New York City. In 1937 he came back to Denver got a position creating the dioramas he become known for until his retirement in 1954. Biology students Mackenna Fair, Jessica Gorski and Rocky Spencer, drawing inspiration from some of C. Waldo Love’s work, created nature dioramas in the Life Science Building. At 5pm they will be presenting a talk about the building of their dioramas. On display will also be a diorama created by CSU-Pueblo art students. Free and open to the public, refreshments provided.
