Previous Exhibitions at PAAM - 2007 Pauline Palmer (1869 - 1938) The Lumber Wharf, n.d.,oil on canvas, 28 x 32" Gift from the estate of the artist Selections from the Town Collection November 30 2007– January 13, 2008 Curated by Stephen Borkowski and Christine McCarthy The Town of Provincetown Art Collection consists of artwork by local artists, as well as nationally prominent artists who have resided in town over the course of the last century, and includes paintings, sculpture and murals as well as prints and drawings. The Town's collection represents many fine examples from our own "art colony," an art community with the longest continuous history in the United States. The Selections Exhibition highlights works by PAAM’s founding member/artists – Charles W. Hawthorne, E. Ambrose Webster, and Edwin Dickinson; the Provincetown Printmakers - Blanche Lazzell, Agnes Weinrich, and Mary Bacon Jones; as well as some contemporary artists – Arthur Cohen, Ciro Cozzi, and Lois Griffel.

A vital part of his work uses an interplay of surfaces that are crumpled or smooth, objects that are opaque or transparent, substantial or insubstantial, small or large, hard or soft. The instability of one form is a foil for the stability of another,” -Tony Vevers PAAM is grateful to Lenore Ross and Patricia Shultz for making this wonderful body of work available for exhibition in the Alvin Ross wing. Christine M. McCarthy Executive Director Alvin Ross (1920 - 1975) Apples on Chair, 1973 oil on canvas, 20 x16", PAAM Collection The Provincetown Art Association and Museum is pleased to present the work of Alvin Ross. A former President of PAAM, Ross was best known for his paintings of still-life, interiors and the figure. In his artist's statement Ross notes that "Ideas for my paintings may be taken from situations which I have seen, experienced, or drawn directly from my life. My paintings are conceived in a variety of ways: Drawing directly from upon nature of a subject seen or experienced; Recording through sketches and watercolors; Memorizing a situation or experience seen; Long stretches of drawing, practically doodling, to search from schemes or themes; By creating abstractions or abstract patterns for the possibility of determining construction of a composition."

Lillian Orlowsky was a well-known member of Cape Cod artist’s community from the 1940’s until her death in Provincetown in 2004.  We are grateful to the estate of William Freed and Lillian Orlowsky for their major support to make this important retrospective possible. In the show’s catalogue, co-curator Robert Henry tells us “Lillian Orlowsky was a member of that special group of artists who experienced the excitement of the introduction of Abstract Art into America…struggling to adapt a new vision to their own world.  There was little recognition for the male artists and still less for their female colleagues.”  The title of the show refers to the fact that Orlowsky rarely signed or dated her work.  “She was remarkably self-effacing, but was a terror when she felt that artists and their cause were in any way threatened, dismissed, or endangered,” Henry tells us. Orlowsky was born in New York in 1914. She grew up poor during the depression and her education as an artist in the 1930s and 40s took place in a time when artists were affected by social issues. According to art historian April Kingsley, who wrote an essay for the show’s catalogue, Orlowsky considered this “the happiest time of my life.” The artist said this period was" one of the most important periods of art in this century” because the Works Progress Administration (WPA), supported artists financially to make their work and because she found her way to the classes of Hans Hofmann who “taught her to see.”  Kingsley says that Lillian and her husband William Freed “grew to be among Hofmann’s closest friends.  She never lost her connection with Hofmann’s aesthetic theories and with her fellow Hofmann students."

Young, Joyce Zavorskas Edwin Dickinson in Provincetown, 1912-1937 July 20 - September 23, 2007 The exhibition Edwin Dickinson: The Provincetown Years, 1912-1937 curated around the paintings, prints, and drawings done during the 25 years that American modernist painter Edwin Dickinson (1891-1978) resided and worked in Provincetown, Massachusetts from 1912-1938. He is considered a "painter's painter" due to his ambitious, multifigured compositions of ambiguous and fanciful content within complex spacial compositions. The show is curated from many unknown works from private collections as well as drawing on many of his better-known pieces, and includes numerous graphic works of Provincetown locales. Dickinson was honored with three earlier single-artists shows at the Provincetown Art Association (of which he was a founding member) held in 1948 and 1967 with a retrospective in 1976. This is the first exhibition devoted to Dickinson to be held at PAAM since the artist’s death in 1978. His history within the community is conveyed through the subjects within his work. Contemporary audiences are provided with an opportunity to examine the life and career of an artist within the context of the town that was central to his art and life. Interior, 1916, 72 x 60 ", oil on composition board private collection Provincetown was one of the major centers for the development of 20th century modernism in this country, and Dickinson was a friend and colleague of many well-known artists who helped establish Provincetown as central within the concerns of contemporary art in the early years of the last century. His practice was infuential to and informed by the New York School of Abstract Expressionists, whom he was associated with in Provincetown and New York. His work is in the collections of numerous museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Hirschorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, The Pennslyvania Acadamy of the Fine Arts, MOMA, The Metropolitan Museum, and The Chrysler Museum, among others.

Walker Gallery Exhibition at FAWC, 24 Pearl Street in Provincetown. www.fawc.org Selina Trieff : MASTER OF THE LOOK A 30 Year Overview July 27 - September 9, 2007 Selina Trieff has pursued figurative subject matter throughout her nearly 60 year career.  Called “an American original” by New York Times critic John Russell, Trieff generates allusively gripping figurative compositions that are richly pensive, introspective, and strangely self-like.  In concurrence with this exhibition, The Fredi Schiff Levin Lecture Series presented: Selina Trieff- An Artist's Gallery Talk on Tuesday, August 14, 2007 at 7PM This exhibition and accompanying catalogue are made possible by a generous grant from the Hans, Renate and Maria Hofmann Trust. The Travellers (diptych, left panel) 1991, 72 x 60 inches, oil on canvas The splendor of the ensemble and the distinction of the individual works testify to the strength of Trieff’s contemplative sensibility and the quality of her workmanship. Knowledgeable painting is not hard to find. Less common, and more compelling, is painting that bears witness to something worth knowing. Trieff’s uncommon wisdom has created a universe in which the painter herself stands revealed as an emblem of the folly and the vanity of each mortal one of us. Hers is a painterly cosmos that dares to move and to disturb at the same time that it delights the eye. For all the opulence of her work – the stained-glass radiance of the color, the theater of gold leaf, and the bravura application of the paint – the power of the work is not in its will to please but in its ability to provoke. It takes up the challenge of Goya’s caustic aquatint “No Man Judges Himself as Others Judge Him,” defying us to look at ourselves as ruthlessly as the artist looks at herself. No sentimentalist, she turns a hard eye on herself and her own mortality. No mawkish naturalist, she uses anatomy metaphorically, as an emblem of certain of the great mythic themes that repeat themselves in our fantasies, longings, and fears.…The magic in Trieff’s works is that, in viewing them, we realize how lonely we are for such intimations of something wholly other than the rational world we have come to accept as real. These eloquent works speak for that buried part of us that would resist forever the action of sun, wind and weather, gravity and time. -Maureen Mullarkey Arts Magazine, New York.

Victor and Charles DeCarlo: BROTHERS IN ART June 8 - July 29 Victor DeCarlo attended art school at the Corcoran School of Art, Washington, DC in 1946 and later that year began working under the well known muralist and fresco painter, Jean Charlot.  In 1948 he continued studying at the Arts Student League, NY and went on to Europe. In 1954 he returned to the US and continued to teach and paint.  He exhibited widely in galleries and museums nationally and internationally.  DeCarlo eventually ended up in Provincetown in 1969 until his death in 1973.  This exhibition highlights the work of Victor and his brother Charles.  Charles DeCarlo, four years older than Victor, had also established an artistic direction as a WPA artist. In addition to studying with Jerry Farnsworth in Truro, he eventually taught art as a means of supporting his family. They both were completely and wholeheartedly devoted to the pursuit of an artist's life, and the brothers set up a studio together in New Haven, CT which they shared from 1954-68. Often in total disagreement about approach, Charles tending to objective, Victor to the non-objective. In 1972 Charles and his family moved to Wellfleet, where he died in 2003. Victor De Carlo, People on the Beach, c.1970 oil/canvas, 30 x 36" Charles Di Carlo, North Truro, Red Pump , c.1946 watercolor, 15 3/8 x 22" Looking back on the life and the art of these two brothers, one is struck by their special camaraderie. This fraternity in art, let alone “en famille,” is certainly rare. One is reminded of the unusual closeness of the brothers Maurice and Charles Pendergast, but very few other such instances come to mind. From their earliest days as young artists in New Haven, Victor and Charles led separate artistic lives together, each contributing to, but not overwhelming, the other’s individual vision. That they managed so beautifully in this special rapprochement is a testament to their mutual respect and understanding. Often in disagreement about approach, they yet agreed to disagree. Today, as we are privileged to enjoy this double retrospective of their work, we also pay tribute to their singular achievement–”Brothers in Art” and in life.   - Josephine Breen Del Deo Untitled, c. 1990's, mixed media, 24 x 22" Jim Hansen Curated by Pasquale Natale and John Donovan      June 15 - July 22 As a painter and sculptor working in bronze, gouache, mixed media, and oil, James Hansen's art employs various levels of abstraction and representation within metaphorically rich compositions. Hansen’s relationship with Cape Cod began in the late 70s. Hansen maintained a studio in the Day's Lumberyard at the Fine Arts Work Center, and his first Provincetown exhibition was held in August of 1981 at the Julie Heller Gallery. A catalogue of this exhibition, with an essay by scholar and historian Christine Temin is available at the Museum. Hansen’s early work was comprised of wood found along the beach – a neo-expressionist style, somewhat rustic and totemic. He concentrated on sculpture, watercolor, painting, printmaking – it was deeply felt work that continued to grow. Hansen’s creativity was boundless – he worked in virtually every visual medium and moved beyond the confines of even that broad spectrum. Hansen’s work was deeply connected to the AIDS epidemic which eventually took his life. Hansen was a recipient of a 1987 National Endowment for the Arts grant in Painting, and was a Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities Fellow in 1986. His work is in numerous public and private collections, including The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, The Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, and PAAM's permanent collection. untitled, c.1995, oil/canvas, 48 x 40" Hyman Shrand (1921-1999) June 8 - July 15 Physician and Painter Hyman Shrand was born in South Africa in 1921. Shrand said of himself, “I now realize that for almost 50 years I was a painter locked up in the body of a Pediatrician. "Some paint to live – I, fortunately, live to paint.” Circus for the Animals, c.1993, oil/canvas, 30 x 40" Dandy Sailor, c.1976 oil/canvas, 36 x 24" Shrand's artistic practice was self-learned and was highly influenced by visits to countless galleries and museums worldwide; art books and manuals; critical discussions with artists, classes and encouragement from PAAM. Shrand cited the work of the German Expressionists as a key influence and the subject matter of all his paintings was taken from his life, highlighted with great flourish. exhibition checklist The Art of the Garden Curated by James R. Bakker and Christine McCarthy To complement the 10th Anniversary Secret Garden Tour. This exhibition features works from the historic to the contemporary including art by Kathi Smith, Connie Black, Michael Walden and others. Opening Friday, May 25 7-9pm, in the Hofmann Gallery, and continues through July 15 thanks to all who made the 2007 secret garden tour a day to remember! The Provincetown Portuguese Festival Members' Open Exhibition June 1 - July 8, 2007 Provincetown's artistic and cultural heritage has continued to be supported and informed by the Portuguese Community.

Visit the Festival's Page exhibition checklist \ Go Figure: Members' Open Exhibition May 5 through June 10, 2007 An exhibition of figurative works from the Membership. exhibition checklist Ross Moffett Curated by Christine McCarthy April 20 - June 3, 2007 Moffett protrayed a world of bleak strength, fateful mood and stark poetry. The sheer power of the forms and color Moffett used in these paintings seems to have been his most forceful statement about man and his fate. It is, moreover, expressed as only a painter can express it without loss to rhetoric. Few American painters so successfully incorporated the figure in a landscape as Ross Moffett. - Josephine del Deo    exhibition checklist Keep It a Secret May 11- 27, 2007 On Wednesday, May 16 from 6-8:30 PM, The Provincetown Art Association and Museum and PAAM's Youth Education Program will present the Annual Provincetown High School Academy of Art Science and Technology Exhibition with an Opening Reception. Spring is here and with it PAAM will celebrate the 8th year of our partnership with Provincetown High School's Academy of Art, Science and Technology. The AAST is a collaborative mentoring program in which students in grades 9-12 work one on one with mentors and members of participating organizations on individually designed projects over the school year. Sixteen students participated in this year's program, exploring a diverse range of interests, including videography, veterinary science, T-shirt design, black and white photography, computer networking, screenplay writing, and fashion design.   George Elmer Brown Untitled (sorting fish) oil/board 14 x 18" Selections from the Napi and Helen Van Dereck Collection Curated by James R. Bakker and Christine McCarthy A collection of early Provincetown art representing a vital pursuit. The artwork Napi Van Dereck displays in his Freeman Street restaurant is a small part of a collection concentrated mainly on painting and print media, and dates back to 1871. This exhibition- and the collection from which it is drawn- present a window into the past. The formal means of the artists, and the subjects rendered, speak directly to the concerns of art and our unique regional history. In the Hofmann Gallery , opening March 2, 6-8 pm, and continuing through April 29.   Members' Juried Exhibition March 30 through May 6, 2007 Juried by Nora Donnelly, Senior Registrar and former Assistant Curator of the ICA, Boston exhibition checklist   Oranizing an exhibition is very similar to assembling a large and complex puzzle. Each piece needs to seamlessly fit with its neighboring pieces and can not be jarring or forced. Instead many individual images must come together to form a cohesive group and ideally become a series of small conversations between works. It is what makes the act of curating an exhibition a thrilling and a challenging exercise. When I began this process, 162 artist’s submissions of varying size, shape, medium and subject matter awaited me. The works were stacked three deep against the walls of the gallery and there were many hidden gems. It was a wonderful process of discovery. I was struck by the impressive quality of the overall submissions and was left holding many more works I would have liked to include. In the end, this selection represented what I saw as a dynamic conversation between artworks. Individually the works show a high level of talent and achievement, and together form a fantastic portrait of a vibrant artist community. Nora Donnelly Senior Registrar The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston Recent Gifts ll Works by Peter Busa, William Hicks, Fred McDarrah, Frances Manacher, Penelope Jencks, Milton Wright, Ferol Sibley Warthen, and others that have been contributed to the permanent collection.

Polly Burnell Leaving 1996,oil/panel, 15 X 12" Polly Burnell - Irene Lipton March 2 – April 15, 2007 Curated by Donald Beal Irene Lipton Untitled 2007, oil/canvas, 36 x 48" Sincerity and feeling mark the work of Polly Burnell and Irene Lipton. They are artists of very different personalities. Perhaps Cezanne’s mysterious word temperament is better, for temperament, not style, novelty or subject matter count in art. The quick silver fantasy and delicacy of Polly Burnell’s work; the powerful, rhythmic movement of Irene Lipton’s painting, continue the great Modern tradition of Provincetown Art. - Paul Resika, January 2007 I am very happy to bring the work of Polly Burnell and Irene Lipton together in this exhibit. It’s an opportunity to view a body of work by two artists who have been a very important part of the Outer Cape arts community for many years, and whose work has found its full stride. I’ve admired Polly and Irene’s work since first seeing it years ago. Their paintings do what I think good painting always does, that is to convey some vital feeling that transcends the material and literal stuff that paintings are made of, and speak of things that can’t be expressed in any other way. Irene’s paintings contain a strange and exuberant life, and Polly’s are like peering into a mysterious, intimate dream. Both find a visual poetry that is born from a deeply sensitive and intuitive nature and expressed through an equally deep understanding of painting. - Donald Beal exhibition checklist   Norman Barr, Low Tide 1980, oil/board, 6.75 x 9" Small Works from the Collection Curated by Dick Caouette, David Foley, Peter Macara, Lynn Stanley, Carl Wallace, Mike Wright, and James Zimmerman March 2 - April 15, 2007 exhibition checklist Learning To See: The Legacy of Charles W. Hawthorne An Exhibition created by Kindergarten through Sixth Grade Students of Veterans Memorial Elementary School Student Curating Program: The VMES exhibits student art and writing in response to works chosen from PAAM’s collection. Fourth and Fifth grade students created sculptures with Visiting Artist Tracey Anderson producing clay busts of family members, friends and admired individuals and drew inspiration from a portrait bust of Hawthorne that is part of the permanent collection. Second and third grade students worked with artist Mike Wright to compose collages inspired by “His First Voyage,” in which they imagined places they’d like to travel; students included photos of themselves in their collages, taken by photographer and PAAM preparator James Zimmerman, and the Sixth Grade worked with Visiting Artist Vicky Tomayko to create a 9 foot high mural of “His First Voyage.” Through March 25 in the Hawthorne Gallery.   Vicky Tomayko Debatable Blanket, 2007 fabric and thread, 80 x 80" The Museum School Faculty Works by the Museum School's Teaching Artists: Bob Bailey, Meg Sheilds, Franny Golden, Anne Flash, Vicky Tomayko, Doug Ritter, Susan Lyman, and Jim Peters.
