Ray Must: Paintings, Prints and Sketchbooks

January 9 through February 19, 2006
Robert L. Ringel Gallery, PMU

Ray Must is a prolific and multi-faceted artist and a well-established presence in the Dayton, Ohio art community.   His works include large abstract paintings on unstretched canvas, figurative drawings, technically inventive prints, and intimate and inspiring daily sketchbooks.   His printmaking skills and flair for social commentary are evidence of early studies with Sidney Chafetz at The Ohio State University.   After over 30 years of teaching, achieving emeritus status at Wright State University, Must has committed his retirement to ardently pursuing new directions and technical possibilities in his work.   This exhibition is presented through the generous support of the Ben and Louise Klatch Jewish Arts Series.
