Louis G Redstone: Dreaming in Watercolor
Art Preview Exhibit at Detroit Waldorf School
Presented by Kalissa Maxwell of Co Tour Gallery
Join us for an afternoon of art at Detroit Waldorf School on Saturday, March 14th from 2:00 to 5:00pm. Our DWS community has early access to a rare collection of artwork by Louis G. Redstone, the renowned Detroit architect whose artistic vision reached far beyond the buildings he designed.
This exhibition will feature Redstone's watercolor paintings that reveals him as a significant voice in the mid-century Abstract Expressionist movement. Spanning more than 60 years, the collection is currently being digitally archived and released in a curated series, with this DWS exclusive preview marking the first public release.
This special opportunity is presented by DWS parent and Co Tour Gallery owner and archivist Kalissa Maxwell, who has been leading the archival documentation and public reintroduction of Mr. Redstone’s artwork. Paintings available for purchase. Light refreshments will be served. We hope you will join us!
About the Artist
Louis G. Redstone (1903-2002) was one of Michigan's most renowned Modernist architects, known for integrating art and architecture into his work. His visionary designs helped shape the Detroit landscape, including Northwestern High School, Somerset Mall, Manufacturers (now Comerica) Bank Building, and B’Nai David Synagogue. In Detroit’s Greenwich Park neighborhood, Redstone designed and built International Style homes—now collectively recognized on the National Register of Historic Places as the Louis G. Redstone Residential Historic District.
While Redstone is best known for his architectural legacy, he may be one of the few American abstract expressionists to work almost exclusively in watercolor.
Redstone earned his degree from the University of Michigan School of Architecture and a master’s degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art. He founded Redstone Architects in Detroit in the late 1930s—a firm that continues to operate today under the leadership of his son, Daniel Redstone, Principal-in-Charge. Louis G. Redstone passed away in Detroit in 2002, just five days after celebrating his 99th birthday, leaving behind a remarkable legacy.
