Mars Hall Gallery will celebrate 100 years of the late artist Carl Sublett, (1919-2008), with a retrospective exhibition of his work. Born in Kentucky, Sublett moved to Knoxville after WWll where he painted and taught at the University of Tennessee from 1966 till he retired in 1982. His artistic career was split between Port Clyde, Maine, where his late wife Helen Davis Sublett was from, and Tennessee. Known for his diversity of style in watercolor and oil, Sublett painted for eight decades right up to his death in January 2008. He received countless awards and exhibited throughout the US, Europe and China and is arguably Knoxville’s most successful and prolific artist of the 20th century. Through Sublett’s inspiration and influence, several generations of artists are carrying on his legacy and highly personal artistic expression. “The true value of a man’s art, I believe, does not depend upon the capacity with which it is received by others, but the degree of personal conviction exercised in a lifetime of creating it.” Carl Sublett 1980. The celebration of his art and life runs through Monday, October 14th.
