Amazingly Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, The Raven, still resonates and provides inspiration well over a century after its writing. PAPA artist Danna Gardner provided the supernatural atmosphere that immediately calls to mind her chosen title, “Never More.” Her colorful moon, deep shadows and luminous fence wire set the mysterious stage. But we quickly take it all in and turn our focus to the raven. You may wonder if it just spoke or you might pause an impossible moment to see if the words are yet to come.
This painting earns its place on the special People’s Choice wall this month and we hope you’ll come by to see it in person. We also have fresh art works to savor in our summer exhibit. Next time you’re in downtown Paducah, remember we love to simply enjoy art with you!
