Last year’s American Masters exhibit was so successful that the Sommerville Manning Gallery decided to mount it again, and this time add a few European masters as well.
The exhibit, which runs through May 28, opens with a reception from 5:30pm to 7:30pm on April 15.
Revolving around major American artists from the 19th and 20th centuries, the exhibit includes works by William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, John Singer Sargent, Georgia O’Keeffe, John Marin, Man Ray, Oscar Bluemner, Milton Avery, and others, but also adds European works by artists such as Henri Matisse and Raoul Dufy.
Unlike a museum, a gallery is limited to the artwork available in the marketplace, but in spite of that restriction, this exhibit showcases a variety of masters.
