This exhibit reflects a lifetime of creation. Lerner was a prolific artist with the restless spirit of a wanderer. In his later works, his images depict recurring characters on enigmatic pilgrimages: “The Man with the Wooden Arm” and “The Lost Boy” explore panoramic landscapes, reflecting the vistas of Lerner’s own global and spiritual travels. Lerner’s last body of work,”My Life in America,” explores “oil, wealth, and foreign policy, which takes the form of a donkey.”
Lerner was a painting instructor at Ringling College of Art and Design for 15 years and twice a recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Achievement Award. His work is in numerous museum collections, including the Corcoran Museum of Art, Arkansas Arts Center, Oakland Museum, the Progressive Corporation and the Norton Museum of Art.
