‘Dance of Death,’ Reginald Pollack, 1963, oil on canvas.

The NOMA on the Northshore exhibition series continues with Reginald Pollack & the Dance of Death through November 26 at the St. Tammany Art Association, 320 N. Columbia St., Covington.

Vibrant colors and ethereal figures are featured in most of Reginald Pollack’s prints and paintings. But during the 1960s, amid the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights movement, and a host of political assassinations, Pollack created a grey series that considered the “question of evil.” Dancing skeletons, hanging angels, and bullying animals play across the canvases in muted colors.

A selection of paintings from this series will be shown alongside the bright prints from later in his career, letting visitors examine the scope of his artistic practice across media, content, and style.

Reginald Pollack & the Dance of Death: Selections from the New Orleans Museum of Art will be on view at the St. Tammany Art Association in Covington, La. October 8 – November 26, 2016.
