Internationally-acclaimed artist Norman Laliberté will visit Prescott to host the Valentine’s Celebration Opening of his print show, talking about his work and process. This exhibit of lithographs, silk screens and giclées features his signature expressionistic images of ebullient flowers, playful portrayals of love and relationships and sensuous figures, a palette perfect for a holiday commemorating LOVE. The artist’s presence will make this special opening a rich experience.

Laliberté first achieved international recognition as the design consultant for the Vatican Pavilion at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, creating an installation of 88 cloth banners that commanded the glass-walled atrium with surprising splendor.

His work can be found in over 75 public and corporate collections, including the Smithsonian Institute, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Collection and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, as well as appearing on TIME and LIFE magazine covers. As a teacher and prolific book author, his highly original approach to art has influenced legions of aspiring artists.

In a rare Southwest appearance, Laliberté will host a special Celebration Reception at Gallery Beyond Words, on Sunday February 12th, from 2:30 to 5PM. The gallery is located at 204 North McCormick Street in downtown Prescott’s McCormick Arts District.

The show runs through March 31. Hours 9am – 5pm daily.
