Art is Life: Frank Lee Craig, the Bauhaus, and I at BRAHM

Dr. Margret Kentgens-Craig will talk about Frank Lee Craig, one of the featured artists in the exhibition Pulp & Bind, who was also an architect, musician, and writer. She will address her late husband’s challenging transition from being a principal in a major architecture firm to a new calling as a visual artist, after a devastating diagnosis with terminal brain cancer. This was facilitated by his education and training at the Bauhaus-inspired NC State University’s School of Design which had provided him with the fundamental and universal principles and skills of art production. Although he had made small pieces on occasion for years, now he dove into art-making with a passion, producing a massive collection of works that ranged from multi-media collages and photography to paintings, drawings, jewelry, and found-object sculptures, amazingly ending up with success, both in Germany and NC.
