… And So Are The Masters: Exhibits Spotlight Seuss, Picasso, Chagall, Dali & Miró By Linda Dougherty
cean Galleries in Stone Harbor will host two outstanding art exhibitions in July: “Modern Masters” (Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalí, and Joan Miró), and “The Art of Dr. Seuss – 20th Anniversary Collection.” Each exhibition offers an opportunity to view and acquire artwork, and to meet the curators in gallery receptions. “Modern Masters” runs from June 29 through July 8, followed by “The Art of Dr. Seuss,” July 20 through July 29. Picasso, Chagall, Dalí and Miró were contemporaries who influenced one another, each working in various media such as painting, printmaking and sculpting. Their works are highly sought and prized by collectors. “Curating the ‘Modern Masters’ exhibition was a true pleasure,” says curator Pamela Walsh. “The work of these four masters is still so compelling and relevant today, half a century or more later. Each of these artists developed a unique pictorial language, pioneering new styles and techniques that had yet to be explored. Although they each had distinctly different artistic voices, their work dialogues in a fascinating and profound way that brings new meaning to these iconic images. This exhibit is a delightful exploration of these titans of 20th century art, and the works that have shaped the way we experience art today.” The “Modern Masters” collection, while not thematic, is a survey of the type of work for which each artist was best known and represents a variety of media for each: * Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) almost single-handedly created modern art, and during his artistic career, which lasted more than 75 years, created thousands of works using all kinds of materials: paintings, sculptures, prints and ceramics.

“Le Danseur” by Pablo Picasso “Daphnis and Chloé - Lamon’s and Dryas’s Dreams” by Marc Chagall
* Marc Chagall (1887-1985) stands out as a romantic genius and masterful colorist, and is known for his recollections of village life, presented in surrealistic juxtapositions and color, imbuing the works with an air of yearning, nostalgia and childlike wonderment. * Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) is considered the greatest artist of the Surrealist art movement. Though chiefly remembered for his painterly output, during the course of
his long career he successfully turned to sculpture, printmaking, fashion, advertising, writing and filmmaking. * Joan Miró (1893-1983), an inventive and imaginative painter, sculptor, ceramicist and printmaker, forever changed the course of modern art. Although he derived his own visual vocabulary from nature, his works are frequently viewed as interesting abstract compositions, an effect that is enhanced by his vivid palette. There will be three curatorial receptions for “Modern Masters”: Friday, June 29; Saturday, June 30, and Sunday, July 1, from 7 to 10pm each evening.

The catalogue of artwork for the “Modern Masters” exhibit can be found on the Ocean Galleries website, oceangalleries.com. “The Art of Dr. Seuss” exhibition offers visitors the chance to explore and acquire works from Dr. Seuss’ best-known children’s books, as well as “The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss,” a collection based on decades of artwork continued on page 54

that Dr. Seuss created at night for his personal pleasure. “We love bringing the whimsical and legendary artwork of Dr. Seuss to the Jersey Shore community,” says Kim Miller, owner of Ocean Galleries. “His artwork truly is magical and beloved by many generations. This is a great show for the entire family and an excellent way to introduce children to fine arts.” Perhaps the wackiest and most wonderful elements of the collection are Dr. Seuss’s three-dimensional “Unorthodox Taxidermy” sculptures with names like The Carbonic Walrus, The Two-Horned Drouberhannis, and the Goo-Goo-Eyed Tasmanian Wolghast, to name a few.
Each estate-authorized limited edition has been adapted and reproduced from Theodor Seuss Geisel’s original drawings, paintings, or sculptures. Additionally, each work bears a posthumously printed or engraved Dr. Seuss signature, identifying the work as an authorized limited edition commissioned by the Dr. Seuss estate. Guests will have the opportunity to learn about the collection during special receptions with the show curator and noted Dr. Seuss expert, Jeff Schuffman. Receptions will be held on Friday, July 20 and Saturday, July 21, from 7 to 10pm, and on Sunday, July 22 from 1 to 4pm. Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, began his career as a little-known editorial cartoonist in the 1920s. His intriguing perspective and fresh concepts ignited

During his varied career, he delivered 44 children’s books, more than 400 World War II political cartoons, hundreds of advertisements, and countless editorials filled with wonderfully inventive animals, characters, and clever humor. “The Art of Dr. Seuss” offers a rare glimpse into the artistic life of this celebrated American icon and chronicles almost seven decades of work that, in every respect, is unique-

Kim and Joshua Miller started their gallery and framing business in Avalon in 1986, adding the Stone Harbor location four years later. Today, both locations showcase local and world-renowned artists, but stylistically, the two are more like cousins than siblings. The Avalon site has a nooks-and-crannies intimacy; the much larger Stone Harbor location is wide and deep, with high ceilings, creating an immersive experience for visitors. Both regularly show new works by legendary pop artists Peter Max and Daphnis and Chloé: Lamon’s and Dryas’s Dreams by Mark Charles Fazzino, neo- Chagall pop cubist Romero Britto, modernists Aldo Luongo and Josef Kote, and expressionist Hessam Abrishami. David Wight’s glass sculptures of cresting waves are also popular. Gallery prices range from a $200 beach print to $200,000 for works by marquee names. This summer, the Stone Harbor location is hosting seven one-person shows by artists including Max, Kote, and Autumn de Forest, a 15-year-old painter whose work hangs in the Vatican.—Lynn Martenstein 2199 Ocean Drive, Avalon, 609-967-4662; oceangalleries.com. 9618 Third Avenue, Stone Harbor, 609-3867777; oceangalleries.com

This Soho-style gallery opened in 2007 in a neo-Victorian mall just off Washington Street, Cape May’s main shopping district. Its collection is as eclectic as its surroundings. Paper-cut pieces by Beatrice Corron hang alongside beeswax-on-wood works by Jim Inzero, and beneath circus banners painted on drop cloth by Molly Mcguire. All three artists debuted at the gallery last year. Each summer, SOMA Gallery stages a series of exhibits of new and returning artists. In its first decade, SOMA helped launch the careers of realist artist Victor Grasso, pastelist Stan Sperlak, and oil-and-acrylic painter Carol King Hood. The trio returns to the gallery this season with new works.—LM Carpenters Square Mall, 31 Perry Street, 609-972-1994, somagallery.com MONTH JULY 2018 NEW JERSEY MONTHLY 57

The Ordinance The ordinance calls for a ban on plastic bags and other environmentally- dangerous packaging material by Jan. 1, 2019. The borough is working with the business community to lessen negative financial impact caused by stock that may have already been purchased for use in stores. The ordinance speaks to alternative products that can be used instead of the banned materials. It provides for some exemptions and a procedure by which an exemption to the ordinance could be sought for a one-year period if the ordinance causes a demonstrable hardship. The ordinance sets up penalties of $200 for a single violation, $350 for a second violation within a 12 month period and then $500 for each additional violation in the one-year time frame.
