Dan Christensen, Untitled (1967)
Dan Christensen, Untitled (1967)

Local jazz musician Stuart Ashley relates the practice of jazz music to the studio practice of visual artist Dan Christensen. A new survey of paintings by the late artist (1942-2007)documents Christensen's "never-ending quest to understand the possibilities of color, paint, and pictorial space."
