You’d be right to expect a rash of politically motivated shows this spring. And there are a
few — mostly in the college galleries. They feature artists who’ve been in their own
particular trenches for a number of years, and not without some personal risk.

The subversive, anonymous Guerrilla Girls get a retrospective at Moore College of Art
and Design. Philadelphia’s Diane Burko has a show of paintings and photos at Rowan
University Art Gallery documenting the planet’s melting glaciers. At Haverford College,
by Edith Newhall, For The Inquirer

Jacqueline Hoang Nguyen’s “Black Atlas” explores issues of race, labor, and the shipment
of artifacts — to Stockholm.
The spring forecast also promises lots of color, in paintings that emphasize its inherently
expressive qualities. Some noteworthy shows in this vein are Cary Leibowitz at
Fleisher/Ollman Gallery, Kazimira Rachfal at Larry Becker Contemporary Art, and Neysa
Grassi at Locks Gallery.
Another highlight: The University of Pennsylvania’s Arthur Ross Gallery showcases 30
impressionist and post-impressionist ink prints from Mr. Ross’ own collection — by
Cezanne, Daumier, Degas, Gauguin, Manet, Matisse, and more — visiting from the Yale
University Art Gallery.
Kazimira Rachfal (Feb. 10-March 17, Larry Becker Contemporary Art). The New York-
based artist’s first solo show here, with small oil-on-linen paintings of a single, icon-like
