Wisconsin Masters: Karl Priebe
June 29 – October 5, 2012
Opening Reception Friday, June 29
5:30-8:30 p.m.
This exhibition is part of the annual Wisconsin Masters Series which focuses on work of a Wisconsin
artist who made a significant contribution to the artistic heritage of the state. Born in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin in 1914, Karl Priebe graduated from the Layton School of Art and later studied at the Art
Institute of Chicago. Best known for his intriguing and individualistic paintings of animals and people,
Priebe portrays his subjects with gaiety and charm. Priebe’s work is a welcomed departure from the
silo-cow-farmer school too often identified with Midwestern painting. With light whimsical fantasy, he
portrays whatever stimulates and appeals to his imagination.
