Arthur Singer
|
April 13-June 9Curators: Elizabeth Sayles and Rick Beyer
OPENING RECEPTION: April 13, 5-7 PM An exhibition of original works by soldiers in “The Ghost Army,” an extraordinary World War II deception unit loaded with artists. This top-secret group of GI’s helped win the war with inflatable tanks, sound effects and illusion. As they travelled across the battlefields of Europe they documented everything with watercolors, ink, and pastel, creating a vast array of artwork. Artists in the unit included fashion designer Bill Blass, painter/sculptor Ellsworth Kelly, and wildlife artist Arthur Singer. This exhibition features wartime paintings and sketches by more than 15 Ghost Army soldiers. It includes Blass’s wartime sketchbook and exquisite Singer watercolors, as well as works by Rockland County Ghost Army veterans Bill Sayles and Ned Harris. See the New York Times review here!

A photographic journey through Hopper's world by Charles Sternaimolo

Ongoing in the Hopper Hallway Gallery
By searching through Josephine Hopper’s meticulous notes, studying the work of fellow Hopper scholars, checking with local residents and historians, and even walking through an area in search of a “Hopper scene,” photographer Charles Sternaimolo has identified and documented well over 150 places painted by the artist, culminating in a visual comparison through photography of Hopper’s painted locations. |
