John LoftusExhibition: June 1–30Opening: Friday, June 7, 5–7 pmOpening reception music by Smooth GroovyJohn Loftus described himself as a “buoyant malcontent” – a man at odds with the world around him yet still productive. However, his teacher and legendary painter, Hans Hofmann, understood his former pupil in a different way. He saw a novice who persevered despite his surroundings, and recognized in him an artist with a unique vision who faced the world courageously. Loftus was as active a teacher as he was an artist. He spent 1963 to 1967 at the Philadelphia College of Art, during which time he was recruited to become head of the art department at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Loftus died in 2008, but he lives on as a legend in Geneva.(315) 325-8160Location and Hours465 Exchange Street, Geneva, NY 14456Wednesday–Sunday, 12:00 to 4:00 PM
