Lifting the 'metaphoric veil' on Colleen Browning
A feature story on Fairfield's concurrent Colleen Browning exhibitions, which open Thursday, quoted Dr. Philip Eliasoph, professor of art history and author of Colleen Browning: The Enchantment of Realism: "The Colleen Browning story has the elusive elements of a Marlene Dietrich film script - intrigue, beguiling seduction and artistic independence," Eliasoph said.

Colleen Browning: The enchantment of realism
New publication details the life and art of a pivotal American realist painter. Major retrospective of her work opens on May 24th at the National Academy of Design in New York. Dr. Philip Eliasoph, professor of Visual and Performing Arts: The book, sponsored by the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art (SAMA) is the first extensive study and definitive work about Browning and details her distinctive brand of figurative painting. From depicting worshipers in a Guatemalan church to graffiti-covered Harlem subways, the artist was a major force in the American realist movement largely dominated by men. Fairfield will host a dual-platform exhibition of Browning's work from January 24 through March 24 on campus at the Bellarmine Museum of Art and the Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery. The Bellarmine will exhibit some of Browning's early work, including works on paper and signature oil paintings, while the Walsh will open 'Colleen Browning: A Brush with Magic.'
