American Masters has raised the bar in the quality of art work shown at Salmagundi and continues to be instrumental in raising funds for one of the oldest, most lively, and beloved art organizations in the country. The 10th Annual American Masters Fine Art Exhibition and Sale at Salmagundi runs from Oct. 8 to 26. Any remaining works after the exhibition are on sale online. American Masters will take a one year hiatus in 2019 and will continue in 2020.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has mounted the most comprehensive exhibition possible of Delacroix on this side of the Atlantic. The retrospective, aptly titled “Delacroix,” follows its Paris debut this past summer. In solid collaboration with the Louvre, practically every major work by the French artist that was not too massive, too precious, or simply impossible (his murals) to transport can be seen at The Met until Jan. 6, 2019.
NEW YORK—How could it be possible to convey the poetry, the depth, the sweat, the soulful interpretation of life in the watercolor paintings by Mario Andres Robinson? The essence they emanate can only be fully appreciated in person, because they are the results of countless moments transformed into multiple thin layers of paint. The washes and glazes he applies to render a beautiful luminosity is a testament to the love of the people and places he has immortalized on paper made of cotton rag and linters.
