James Stewart Place Setting, Paintings Inspired by Georges de la Tour

James Stewart is a painter who trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In the fall of 2021, I made a movie about his show based on poet Ilya Kaminsky’s Deaf Republic. In January of 2022, I made a movie about his monumental painting of the January 6th insurrection.
His new show, at Gross McCleaf, is called Place Setting. Inspired by French Old Master Georges de la Tour, this new body of work features a group of Jim’s friends arrayed around a dinner table at night.
James Stewarts exhibition will be on display at Gross McCleaf through March 30, 2024.

Simply wonderful work, John. I feel like I'm in the same room with James' friends. What a great show. Everyone should go who can. Thanks again for bringing Philly art to a broader audience.
