James M. Smith: Unscripted

The Unscripted exhibition at the Saint Louis University Museum of Art includes drawings, paintings and constructions based on myths that Smith creates, including motifs that are part of his entire oeuvre. Smith’s work is influenced by his lifelong love of cultural anthropology and desert environments. Aside from the obvious effort of making both paintings and three-dimensional forms, he follows a tradition of object-making that is present in the history of primitive and modern cultures.

Through Aug. 25.
