Mark your calendars! This summer International Poster Gallery will be celebrating it's 20th anniversary with their exhibition: Tour de Force!Â
"The exhibition opens with classics from the 1890s, the lithographic poster’s first decade, which is often called the Golden Age of the Poster.It takes its cue from Eldorado, Toulouse-Lautrec's iconic portrait of an imposing Aristide Bruant announcing his performance at his famous Parisian cabaret in 1892. The poet and balladeer was famous for his sharp-tongued musical reviews that shocked and enthralled Parisians. Toulouse-Lautrec only produced 31 posters before his untimely death in 1901, but his pioneering efforts, this one of his earliest, would fuel a poster craze through the decade and forever elevate the poster as an artistic medium." (read full press release here)
The Exhibition opens on Thursday May 1 and runs through June 30, 2014. The show is free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Mon. through Sat. 10am to 6pm and Sun. noon to 6pm. The gallery is located at 205 Newbury Street, Boston. Call (617) 375-0076 or visit www.internationalposter.com.
We wish you a happy 20th anniversary IPG and look forward to working with you during this years Summer Arts Walk!

Today we are so pleased that we get to showcase a donation from the very talented Janis Sanders. Janis has not only donated to our auction many times, but also did an amazing live demonstration at our first annual Summer Arts Walk last year!Â
This piece is titled "A Dock & A Fish House"Â
Janis writes: "The scene is in Cape Porpoise, Kennebunkport, Maine and painted en plein air, all with a palette knife."
"Janis Sanders is an accomplished oil painter, who has won awards for his unique painting style. His work is done with a palette knife, often en plein air. He melds elements of American Realism with Modernism/Impressionism for a dramatically contemporary visual result. He works to convey light glancing on a surface to communicate the spirit of place of each singular American setting. He paints muscularly, enthusiastically, vigorously outdoors throughout the year, from the rugged coast of Maine to the verdant marshes of the North Shore of Boston, to the quiet sand dunes of the Outer Cape. Janis is represented in galleries throughout New England as well as Sante Fe. His work hangs in prestigious collections in the United States and overseas." (source)

Thank you so much for you donation Janis and for your continued support!
Title: Back To Square One Medium: Oil on Polymer Artist: Louise Weinberg
"Louise Weinberg's work is concerned with the ebb and flow of human relationships. The paintings suggest the sometimes ambivalent paths we must navigate in our relationships with others- closeness/ distance, connection/ disconnection, containment /freedom. Much of her past work has focused on the issue of containment -the very basic human desire for the safety of enclosure and structure vs. the terror of entrapment. The images which reoccur in her (mostly abstract) paintings -spheres, eggs, buildings, grids, bowls, bottles, jugs serve as metaphors. In her most recent series of paintings entitled Connect/ Disconnect -she has focused on how one navigates the issue of closeness/ distance in a relationship." (source)
What a beautiful piece Louise! To see more of her work, visit her website here: www.louiseweinbergart.com
Thank you so much for your donation and support!

Karen McFeaters resides in Boston and is a member of the Fort Point Artist Community (FPAC) in Boston...
