One of Olympia's favorite businesses, Browsers Books, is holding an artist showing this August. Brett Rude is the featured artist. Brett Rude is a self-taught artist. He finds his greatest inspiration in the Color Field movement of the 1940s and 1950s in New York. As the subject of his art, Brett explores the expressive power of color. Like music and literature, color can dramatically affect one's moods, feelings and emotions. Color can awaken joy and fear; it can create a place of peace or stimulate high anxiety. "This mystic quality of color should likewise find expression in a work of art." Hans Hofmann Event details: * Saturday, August 4, 5:00 - 7:00 PM Browsers Bookshop <https://www.facebook.com/browsersbooks/> 107 Capitol Way N, Olympia, Washington 98501
