Stella Ebner’s One Day, in the main gallery of this Kenwood institution, features lovely, quiet woodcuts with domestic themes—a pile of bills, a tumble of opened envelopes, a sink full of dishes. These simple prints echo the matter of everyday existence, the true flowers and landscape of our lived urban hours. And in The Annex, behind the main building, one finds a counterpoint to these human artifacts: Larry Hofmann’s smooth, dreamy, and mossy green paintings with transfigured trees and slightly Martian landscapes. He invites you to step out of the paper-and-telephone world and imagine that you have different eyes.
