It has been a year rich with encounters. First there were the various workers, finishing the last details, or making a repair, whom I would catch standing in front of a painting, spontaneously telling me what they saw in it and how it made them feel. There was the young couple who had never before set foot in a gallery or taken time to look at art. They found it so engaging, they stayed half the afternoon, learning all they could and in the end making a first-ever purchase. There have been serious collectors giddy with enthusiasm over the caliber of the works in the gallery and students who didn’t expect such a warm welcome. Young professionals and curious children, artists and grandmothers, book clubs and neighbors, designers and friends and we’ve all been listening to jazz and soaking art in through our eyes and souls. Seeing art is a more communal pursuit than I knew before. While it is deeply personal, it is shared, as you would a meal, and the table is big enough for everyone. As I study the lives and stories of the artists whose work I

Our collection also includes nineteenth century American and European paintings.

Additionally, in case you haven’t visited yet, the catalog is a visual tour of our gallery space and our work. In addition to group and solo shows and receptions throughout the year, BSFA’s 2019-2020 program includes art appreciation nights, lectures on collecting, gallery talks, artist lectures and other special events. There is something for everyone. The table has been significant in my life and the life of my family. It’s where we come together and do our living: connecting with others, sharing our views and learning about the world.

MODERN The Modern Art movement emerged in 1872 with the emphasis on color, light and blurred brushstrokes of Impressionism. French painters like Monet, Degas and Renoir were at the forefront of this new era when artists were reinterpreting and challenging the rules of realistic academic painting. The Modern art genre included several major movements including Post-impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, and by the middle of the twentieth century, Abstract Expressionism. Abstract expressionists abandoned figurative styles in favor of an emphasis on color, form, composition, emotion, and the creative process.

enri Charles Manguin was a French painter associated with Fauvism, working alongside such artists as Henri Matisse, André Derain, and Raoul Dufy. He most notably employed pastel hues to depict beach scenes and bathers on the French Riviera. Manguin studied under Gustave Moreau at the

École des Beaux-Arts along with Matisse and Charles Camoin. He travelled travelled throughout France with fellow Fauve artist Albert Marquet, and began exhibiting at the Salon des Indépendants. Known for his “joie de vivre”, the artist spent much of his later life living in the south of France, attracted by the light and an enthusiasm for landscapes and seascapes.

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM

describes a movement in American painting

that flourished in New York City after World War II, also known as the New York School. These artists used abstraction, often on large-scale canvases, to convey emotional content. Emphasizing the physical interaction of artist, paint and canvas, abstract expressionists conveyed meaning through the color, texture and application of the paint itself. Given the cultural climate of the time, the movement centered on unfettered artistic freedom and had resonance in many mediums including drawing and sculpture. Within Abstract Expressionism were two broad groupings—Action painters, led by artists like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, who attacked their canvases with expressive gestural marks and brush strokes; and Color Field painters like Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still, whose work was characterized by large areas of flat color, sometimes evoking a meditative response from the viewer.

ack Roth was an artistic peer of Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, Richard Diebenkorn, and Mark Rothko, among

other first and second generation Abstract Expressionists, and exhibited alongside them. In 1954 his work was shown in the Younger American Painters exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum of Art, which was one of the first major museum debuts of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Roth later taught art and simultaneously pursued his Doctorate in Mathematics at Duke University. Art in America named him the “new talent� of 1963, and MoMA purchased a number of his paintings for their permanent collection. In 1978 he gained representation by the prestigious Knoedler Gallery that carried Alexander Calder, Franz Kline, and Frank Stella. Over the decades of his career, Roth spent every spare moment painting, working through unique manifestations of action painting, negative line, and color field painting.

oug Argue’s paintings are best described as palimpsests-- something reused or altered but still bearing visible traces of its

earlier form. His work is characterized by layers of radiant brushwork and scrims of crisp stenciled letters which envelope the entire canvas. Argue explains, “In any given moment there is a multitude of histories. I’m using atomized letters, taken from various texts, that come from different historical moments…and floating them throughout the paintings like falling leaves.” His paintings suggest the passage of time, light, motion, and how the past informs the present.

is work typified by breezy lyricism, Andre Brasilier’s real-life subjects are transformed by dream-like settings. His canvasses are a blend of abstraction, expressionism, and something distinctly his own. Born in Saumur France to an

artistic family, Brasilier attended the École des Beaux-Arts at age 20. He takes inspiration from Japanese prints, with his paintings often featuring pastoral scenes, the sea, women, musician, and horses. Brasilier’s paintings portray a peaceful word, with delicate compositional and color harmonies and soft light.

CONTEMPORARY Contemporary Art refers to art— painting, sculpture, photography, installation, performance, and video art—produced in current day. Many art historians consider the late 1960s (the end of Modern Art or Modernism) to be the starting point of the Contemporary Art genre. In reaction to the preceeding Modern Art movement, Pop Art emerged. Pioneered by artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, pop artists were interested in portraying mass culture. Other contemporary art movements include Photo Realism, Conceptualism, Minimalism, Performance Art, Installation Art, Earth Art, and Street Art.
