Eschewing curatorial narratives and thematic groupings, <i>50 Paintings</i> invites visitors to explore a wide array of artistic styles and strategies, engage in close looking, and formulate their own assessments of painting as it is practiced today. From internationally recognized names like Cecily Brown, David Diao, Nicole Eisenman, Judy Ledgerwood, and Amy Sherald to rising talents like Jake Troyli, Carmen Neely, GaHee Park, and Cinga Samson, the 50 artists in <i>50 Paintings</i> are each represented by one painting created in the past five years. Works on view reflect a range of painterly styles, expressions, and concepts, but all were created through the application of oil or acrylic paint with a brush to stretched canvases or other traditional painting techniques. The exhibition is co-curated by Margaret Andera, Senior Curator of Contemporary Art, and artist and scholar Michelle Grabner.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class=\"image\"><img src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419283/qal4upff8by426jhxzeh.jpg\"><figcaption>On view through October 28 at James May Gallery in Milwaukee is \"The Architecture of Everything\" featuring Ellen Weider, Damien Hoar de Galvan, &amp; Liz Rundorff Smith &nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</figcaption></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A group of galleries based in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward hosts a bustling art walk four times a year called Gallery Night MKE.
