“Babe Ruth,” an oil painting by SUNY Broome Professor David Zeggert

SUNY Professor David Zeggert’s oil portraits of John Lennon, David Bowie and Babe Ruth have been selected to be part of a year-long exhibit at the Rockefeller Institute of Government located in Albany New York.

Ruth’s portrait is the third in a series that examines the subject through a painted statement exploring interesting physical attributes. The series also aims to reveal early stages of the painting process while creating indirect optical mixes completed with the Bardwell palette.

Professor Zeggert is a member of the Art and Design Department and teaches, painting, drawing and illustration. The exhibition will be on display starting in July 2019.
