Guy Clifton: The Life and Travels of Hans Meyer-Kassel

By the time Hans Meyer-Kassel settled in Nevada in 1935, he was sixty-three-years-old with a lifetime of experience and artistic accomplishments. Drawn to the American West, the German émigré artist and his wife relocated for a short time to Reno, and then Carson City, before settling in the small town of Genoa on the eastern slope of the Sierras. Longtime Nevada author and researcher, Guy Clifton will recount the life of Hans Meyer-Kassel, revealing new materials recently discovered through his research of newspaper reviews, archives, and other unpublished articles.

Fox serves as the Director of the Center for Art and Environment, at the Nevada Museum of Art.  As one of the show’s curators, Fox will explore the significance of Marking the Infinite and the diverse island continent which influences the artistic practices of Aboriginal Australians.  Join Fox in the galleries for an in-depth discovery of the works in Marking the Infinite.
