 Gerard Baldwin
Then & Now
Oct. 1 - 27, 2013

The Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts is pleased to present an exhibition featuring the work of Lone Star College-Kingwood art faculty member Gerard Baldwin. With over sixty years of experience in the world of animation, Baldwin is an Emmy Award-winning animator, director, writer, and producer. His work can be seen in such animated series as The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, Mr. Magoo, the Flintstones, Yogi Bear, the Grinch, and the Smurfs. Gerard Baldwin received his formal art training from the Chouinard Art Institute (now the California Institute of the Arts) and the Instituto Allende in Mexico, where muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros served as one of his mentors. Baldwin later became one of the first lecturers in animation at the California Institute of the Arts. Throughout his career he worked with several notable animation studios, including UPA, Jay Ward Productions, and Hanna-Barbera.

After moving to Houston in 1989, Baldwin found more time to devote towards another life-long passion – painting. Then and Now features two series of paintings that have emerged since then. One series, based on his previous animation work, features iconic characters placed in real-world environments. The second set of work illustrates an imagined exotic world that the artist refers to as the “Paleocene.” Baldwin is the seventh artist to be featured in the Lone Star College System Faculty Exhibition Series at the Pearl Fincher Museum of Fine Arts.
