EVERYDAY PEOPLE: Mel Leipzig's Figurative Realism Comes To Morris Museum This Week

This week, a retrospective of Mel Leipzig's work will open at the Morris Museum in Morristown, NJ.

Everyday People: Mel Leipzig's Figurative Realism will run from December 6, 2019 - April 19, 2020. Heralded as one of today's finest figurative realist painters, Leipzig's subjects-family, friends, acquaintances, and fellow artists-occupy self-constructed places of identity, such as home or work, in subtle psychological portraits that place an equal importance on the setting. The exhibition features highlights from Leipzig's career of over 60 years.
