The Elon Law School at 201 North Greene Street was formerly the Greensboro Central Library. The building was completed in 1960 by Edward Loewenstein, a Greensboro Architect. The artist on the project was Gregory Ivy, who was also the first head of the art department of Woman’s College, now UNCG. The aggregate, bas-relief panels at the entrance, featured above, is reminiscent of the mid-20th century style so popular in Europe. Ivy, a mid-century modernist himself was known for making bold lines and broad strokes to convey physical sensations. * That description suits the above piece well.

Greensboro has some very interesting artwork. Sometimes you just need to be standing under an eave, in an entranceway, waiting out a rain to see something new. Such was the case with discovering this beauty tucked away in plain view. Have you ever stumbled on a piece of art that has been right under your nose? Go have a look at the Elon Law School Building. It is historic and interesting, as is the art!
