A Portrait of George Kuchar

Last summer, Gallery artist Ryan Martin was commissioned to paint a portrait of independent film pioneer George Kuchar, using his signature, expressionistic style. Kuchar sadly passed shortly after the painting was finished.
Thanks to actress Linda Martinez, a long-time Kuchar collaborator, the portrait will be exhibited in public beginning Thursday, March 8 as part of “Living in Studio Kuchar”; an exhibition honoring the legendary filmmaker at SFAI’s Walter & McBean Galleries. The exhibition will run through April 21.
Opening Reception: Thursday March 8, 5:30 - 7:30 pm
Walter & McBean Galleries, 800 Chestnut Street, San Francisco, CA 94133
