The masterful realist paintings of George Nick are on view in the solo exhibition George Nick: The Edge of the Road at the Noyes Museum of Art from 1/20/12-5/27/12. Nick's handling of paint is "lively and luscious, veering from crisply detailed strokes to broad swaths of color. His subject matter ranges from vintage automobiles to Back Bay street scenes painted with an exuberant naturalism. He reignites our excitement about where we actually live, and gives us back something we didn't know we were missing: the dazzle of the first glimpse."Nick's work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan, the Hirschhorn, the Corcoran and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Registration requested but not required.
