This exhibition highlights the contemporary appeal of Oelze’s work by featuring drawings and sketches of imaginary landscapes, fantastic objects, and figures that he drew in the years following World War II.
Organized by the University Art Gallery at Colorado State University, Drawing Inward reveals how Oelze plumbed the depths of the conscious and unconscious mind through visual experimentation. The exhibition also sheds light on a rare, early landscape drawing by Oelze from the Smart Museum of Art’s collection.
