(from the press release) Colorado artists Albert G. Wynne (b. 1922 in Colorado Springs) and Louise Wynne (b. 1930 in Burlington, Iowa) have been exhibiting art for over half a century. Abstract painter Al Wynne went to the University of Denver, where he studied art with Colorado artists John E. Thompson, Watson Bidwell and Vance Kirkland. He also studied at Iowa’s Wesleyan College and the University of Iowa. Al has taught art for over thirty years, from grade school to the university level. Ceramist Lou Wynne attended Iowa Wesleyan College and later did graduate level work in ceramics, printmaking, painting and sculpture at multiple universities including the University of Iowa and on University of Colorado campuses in Boulder, Denver and Colorado Springs. The pair married in 1951 and moved to Colorado Springs in the early 1960s. The Wynne’s work can be found in many collections throughout America including the private collection of General Colin Powell, as well as the collections of the University of Denver and Kirkland Museum. Wynne / Wynne will gather together the works of Al and Lou Wynne from numerous public and private collections, including the collection of the artists. This will be the first museum retrospective on either of the artists.
