March 26, 1979 – Evelyn Ellwood, Collection of Arkansas Arts Center

Today is March 26, 2014, so it seems an appropriate day to feature a painting from the Arkansas Arts Center entitled March 26, 1979. The painting is by Evelyn Ellwood.

Painted in 1979, it measures 9 7/8 by 13 7/8.  It was acquired by the Arts Center in 1995 as a gift of Louis K. and Susan Pear Meisel of New York.

No artist’s statement could be obtained, so the significance of this date remains a mystery.
