Overall this show is one of Wilson’s weakest to date. At the same time the large drawings on canvas of predatory birds in the small inner gallery are some of the finest things this artist has achieved to date. The trouble with the total exhibit is the inclusion of far too many plainly bad pictures. Unfortunately for Wilson the numerical preponderance of indifferent works obscures some really marvelous painting.
