The Local Artist Spotlight for October is Alan Engisch, who earlier curated a digital art show for the Museum.  While Alan is a digital artist, using Microsoft Excel to create his art, he studied at the Pratt Institute and the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, where one of his instructors was Hannes Beckmann, who studied at the Bauhaus in Germany.  Another was Hilaire Hiler, and he is indebted to Josef Albers and Bridget Riley, among others.
