Collecting American paintings was an adventure in art appreciation for the Weyerhaeuser family. Interest in American paintings was fostered by museum co-founders Carl and Edith Weyerhaeuser and went back several generations. The collection came to encompass canvases from important phases in American landscape painting as well as other genres.
Among the holdings are works by Hudson River School painters: Albert Bierstadt and Jasper Francis Cropsey; American Impressionists: Childe Hassam, Dennis Miller Bunker, and John Singer Sargent, as well as paintings by George Bellows, a devoted member of the Ashcan School who helped to organize the 1913 Armory Show. Also included are works from other American artists: Eric Aho, Charles Burchfield, Elisabeth Weber-Fulop (Duxbury), Clarence Gihon, William Sargent Kendall, George Nick, Paul Sample and more.

You Are Here!
at 4th Floor Gallery in Rockland

You’re invited to a new exhibit, You Are Here!, opening this September at the 4th Floor Gallery in Rockland, Massachusetts. You Are Here! is a guided tour through the states and towns of New England as seen through the lens of pattern. Design Pool’s Kristen Dettoni joined forces with artist and designer Dayna Hartford of Dayna’s Textiles to explore the personal histories that connect them to this region in both literal and symbolic ways.

#image_title

In the work exhibited, they draw inspiration from their own personal map tacks, the physical locations where they have lived, worked, and played. They also examine the idea that they are here because of the decisions made by their ancestors, who chose to immigrate to America and grow roots in New England. Original artwork and printed products will be on display. Displayed together, they will show the journey from idea to pattern to product and the rest stops along the way.

2024-09-01 00:00 - 2024-10-31 23:59 | Norwell Public Library, 64 South Street, Norwell, MA, 02061, United States
Come meet artist Keith Conforti to hear about his art and process and view his current exhibit at NPL which explores neglected and abandoned worlds, allowing him to create stories about the contradiction of beauty and decay. Keith’s photos will be on display in the meeting room from September through October.

Keith Conforti works professionally as a photographer, graphic designer and college professor. He teaches classes and workshops on both disciplines.

His visual style relies heavily on composition, honed by his years as a graphic designer, to create order out of nature’s chaos. His photos possess a silent dignity and structure that presents his subjects simply and honestly.

Today, Keith photographs all across the country. His interest is discovering abandoned and shuttered locations that have historic pasts with meaningful stories and captivating beauty (usually created by decades of neglect and decay). He has photographed asylums, prisons, theaters, shipyards, hospitals, schools, mill complexes, and just about any other location that offers a glimpse into a forgotten past. Each place has a story to share about its former purpose and how time, nature and neglect have conspired to transform it.

Industrial Beauty—Luminous Desert
Jürgen Robert and Lisa Ryan
August 18 – November 3, 2024
Reception: September 15, 2024, 1:00 – 4:00 pm
Lisa and Jürgen demonstrate that industrial views, which are typically ugly, polluting, noisy and dehumanizing, can appear more like a tourist attraction at night. Night photography is transformational and nowhere is that seen more prominently than in Industrial Beauty. Colorful lights sculpt shapes and shadows, creating shimmering reflections or glowing clouds.
In the Luminous Desert series, layers of light sculpt and paint the city scenes and natural landscapes. These images are about creating an experience rather than documenting a place. The works are also opposites: human-made city scapes versus nature, color vs. black and white, warm vs. cold.
While there are other contrasting aspects to these two bodies of work, the artists chose to focus on the difference in the quality of light. The brilliant flash and sparkle of industrial settings contrasted with the quieter, softer glow of desert landscapes.

John Cook: Another Lifetime Fine Art

John Cook: Another Lifetime Fine Art
On Display from August 10 – September 5
Join the artist for a reception in the Gallery on Thursday, August 15 from 6:30-8:30.
This exhibition focuses on the various style and composition changes that the artist, John Cook has encountered since learning to paint in early 2017. His style of painting is reminiscent of a combination of the romantic period and the realism period styles. Both styles are late 19th century genres, that captured subjects and nature in their natural settings as they actually appear. Most of his works are created using oils on canvas, however, an occasional piece composed in acrylics comes along.
Although Mr. Cook does make attempts to capture different subject matter, most of his works are studies of the sea as the sea is where his heart finds solace. It is a constantly changing element, capable of showing darkened merciless rage in one moment and in the next, calm seas displaying beautiful hues of emerald and turquoise. His desire is that you find enjoyment in these pieces and perhaps they would draw you in, giving you a glimpse of how he views our world.
About the Artist:
John L. Cook (b. 1957 Ammersee, Germany) received his Associate Degree in Fine Arts Visual Arts from Quincy College, Quincy, Massachusetts in May 2018. He received his Bachelor of Art Degree from the University of Massachusetts Boston, in May 2020 with concentrations in studio art, painting and drawing.
Mr. Cook retired from the United States Army in July 2016 after 28 years of service where he served in both the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy. Upon retiring, while studying at Quincy College, he realized a talent for creating art through painting and drawing. He has since displayed his works at the Hull Art Association Gallery in Hull, Massachusetts. Realizing that displaying and selling his works was not enough, he has created a customer based in- home paint party business. He brings paint nights to the customer where they and small groups of their friends and associates can experience hands-on painting as he shares the gift of art with those who might not have ever been exposed to creating art. John typically creates art 2 – 7 hours a day.
His latest venture is that of a live wedding painter on the south shore of Massachusetts, capturing couple’s special moments on their wedding day as they happen, on canvas using both oil and acrylic paints.
Mr. Cook a member of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts.
