CHARLES CAMPBELL - LITTLE TREE - FEMINA POTENS SHOOTING GALLERY - GALLERY 1988 - CHILLIN' PRODUCTIONS MILLION FISHES (WITH ASSISTANCE FROM DEWITT CHENG) 12.01.07 Charles Campbell Gallery: William F. Wolff - Paintings from the 1950s-1960s. Review and photos by DeWitt Cheng: Wolff, known to the Bay Area as a woodcut artist specializing in literary and symbolic themes, made Arcadian-themed paintings during his formative postwar years that belong to the Bay Area Figurative School but point ahead to his later imagery, too. These paintings have been rarely if ever exhibited since Wolff made them forty years ago. DeWitt Cheng writes for Artweek, Art Ltd., www.SanFranciscoArtMagazine.com and www.Shotgun-Review.com. Painting titled "Three Men in Conversation." Painting titled "Bath at Fountain." Art. Stage set model. Memorabilia - photos, announcements, stage set model, mask. Memorabilia close-up.

Comment: Paintings, drawings, collage, and installation by Anne Faith Nicholls are often autobiographical in nature, and about as direct and honest as it gets.

Comment: What do you get when you pack 80 artists, 60 fashion designers, 40 filmmakers and 7 DJ's into Mezzanine on Jessie Street? Another exceptionally successful and well-attended Holiday event in an eminently peppy setting with tons of creatables to peruse and purchase. Being a professional lightweight, I'm in and out early; there's plenty of time left in the game and the line to get in already stretches down the alley. Art + fashion. Fashion. Art. Art + literature.
