Bos taurus: A Portrait of the Cow as a Young Artist Through May 10

Bos taurus by A. M. Maguire

A reception will be held in the Burrison Gallery on Friday, April 28, 4-6 p.m. for the new exhibit: A Portrait of the Cow as a Young Artist. The cow has co-existed with humans since the beginning of modern civilization. It has provided warmth and sustenance, clothing and food, shelter and companionship. We rarely celebrate a species other than our own to which we owe so much. Albert Mahler Maguire paints cows to celebrate a fellow animal that has evolved with us, as we ourselves. This show will feature archival prints made from Dr. Maguire’s original oil paintings. He is professor of ophthalmology at HUP and at the Scheie Eye Institute. His research is focused on gene therapy. The Gallery is located in the University Club at Penn on the 2nd floor of The Inn at Penn. It is open Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. The show runs through May 10.
