From the beginning of time, man has peered into the night sky and pondered the vast realm that extends out, far beyond the boundaries of terra firma. This mystifying world of darkness, inhabited alternately by silent distant planets and exploding super nova has long been a source of inspiration to artists throughout the ages.  This exhibition of works by Terry Braunstein, Susanna Meiers, Victor Raphael and June Wayne explores four individual reactions to the mystery of deep space. 

Dedication

This exhibition is dedicated to the memory of June Wayne, who passed away August 23, 2011 at the age of 93. June was a visionary artist and pioneer in the revival of fine-art printmaking in the 1960's when she founded the Tamarind Lithography Workshop. June was an original and an inspiration to several generations of artists. She was truly out of this world.

About ten years ago, while cleaning out my parents’ home after my father died, I came across a box of maps.
I almost tossed them out along with other accumulated papers, but something stopped me,
and instead, I brought them home, never thinking that those maps would become the springboard
to three bodies of work that encompass family portraits, the figure and the image of a circle as an icon.

“Ruth Weisberg: Now & Then” presents paintings and works on paper by one of Los Angeles’ most celebrated figurative artists since her arrival in 1969.  The exhibition, which includes her most recent paintings, and spanning more than three decades, reveals Weisberg’s unique vision through which the viewer sees the convergence of art history, personal memory, and cultural experience.

The exhibition reveals Weisberg’s decades-long interest in re-imagining the works of such past masters as Titian, Velazquez, Blake and Corot.  Through fresco-like effects in her unstretched paintings as well as the veils of washes in her masterful lithographs, Weisberg brings past-time into contemporary context.

Ruth Weisberg is currently a professor at USC, where she was one of the longest tenured Deans of the Roski School of Fine Art.  Weisberg is the first living painter to have been afforded a solo exhibition at the Norton Simon Museum of Art. She holds that distinction as well at the Huntington Library.  Her first major survey in Los Angeles was in 1979 at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery. The subject of over 80 solo and 185 group exhibitions, Weisberg’s work is included in the permanent collections of over 60 museums, including the Metropolitan Museum, National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., Whitney Museum of American Art, Portland Art Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Getty Research Institute, Norton Simon Museum, Art Institute of Chicago, Detroit Institute of Arts, Biblioteque Nationale in Paris, and Rome Institute Nationale per la Grafica, among many others.

The Marshall~LeKAE Gallery is pleased to announce an upcoming art exhibit by Los Angeles based artist Pat Berger, whose poignant paintings of homelessness have raised awareness and consciousness about this avoided topic. This art show was originally inspired by Pat’s visit to a food and shelter outreach in LA around 1985. This experience was followed by at least five years of activism, interacting and getting to know her subject, which then transpired into a series of 35 paintings and lithographs intended to spread knowledge and hopefully influence action to be taken to encourage change for this worldwide problem.

Pat Berger’s paintings depicting the crisis of homelessness in our society are formally straightforward and uncompromising works. These pieces are not only beautifully done in a technical sense, but also speak loudly on the subject manner at hand. With these paintings, Berger points to the callousness and disregard that we, as a society, have developed towards the people experiencing struggle and/or poverty. The support, protection and care that a community affords is often blotted out in the homeless experience by the alienation, hopelessness and dehumanization wrought by life on the streets.

Twelve of Berger’s paintings are now in the permanent collection of the Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum in Buffalo, other paintings are in the permanent collection of LA’s Skirball Cultural Center. Her work has also been in a number of documentaries including the Emmy award winning “Trouble in Paradise.”

As part of the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time initiative, Bleicher Gallery is pleased to present an exciting exhibit by Los Angeles based artist Simone Gad. A painter and assemblage/collage artist, Gad rose to prominence in the Los Angeles art scene in the 1970’s. After being introduced to the Fluxus movement in 1972 by Al Hansen, she began making collage and assemblage painting collages on vinyl.

An actress herself, Gad’s work focuses on Hollywood, exploring ideas of celebrity and stardom and providing unique insight into the world of fame. Her career includes numerous exhibits through California, showing at LAICA Downtown and Molly Barnes Gallery, among others. Gad is highly regarded in the Southern California art scene, being the recipient of numerous awards and grants, as well as being included in many publications and texts.

The exhibition will feature a multi-cultural group of four generations of nationally and internationally recognized artist-mothers
selected to represent the multi-faceted and changing realities of motherhood. The exhibition explores the intimate
experience of the artist as mother, and the evolving image and place of the mother, which underwent huge
transformations during the Women’s Movement of the late '60s and '70s.
