Bruce Cohen’s alluring interiors and exquisite still lifes continue to captivate in his new body of work. The exhibition features a dozen paintings, most on canvas and some on wood panel, ranging in scale from 16 x 16 inches up to 48 x 72 inches.
Bruce Cohen’s singular aesthetic is immediately distinguishable in its refined realism. He has explored the genres of interior and still life paintings for decades, yet his output always feels new and fresh. Nodding to the old masters and his passion for art history, he successfully summons a contemporary feel by way of a polished, yet punchy palette with a subtle, surreal compression of the picture plane. He executes a mastery of subject matter to his advantage and constantly perfects his painting to stunning effects. His inspiration culminates in an unhurried and meticulous rendering. Similar to artists like Jasper Johns and Jim Dine, who use a lexicon of repeated images as a visual vocabulary, Cohen revisits themes and objects (flowers, vases, books, window sills) finding endless arrangements. Stylistically the work’s central focus of everyday objects found in daily life connects them to the Dutch masters of the 17th century, from whom he derives great influence and inspiration.
Currently on view at our Carmel gallery location. All works available individually.
An exhibition of original etchings and drypoints by the artist considered instrumental in bringing this coveted medium to prominence in the American West.
Hansen created these exceptional prints from 1910 until 1939, receiving many awards while exhibiting throughout the United States and internationally. His graphic works are currently represented nationally in over thirty major public and corporate collections.
The late Dallas abstract expressionist painter, Zanne Hochberg had a long career in painting. She recently had a one woman retrospective at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in 2011. Her work can be found in the collections of the DMA and the Blanton Museum of Art. Zanne was born in Rochester, NY. She moved to Dallas in 1953, earned her MFA at SMU and continued her painting career here with numerous exhibitions until her death in 2001.
Her canvases are made up of colorful brush strokes, which create everything from unique organic shapes to human figuration. Dallas’ own Rick Bretell has paralleled to Zanne’s work that of works by Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner in a 2016 review.
Please join us for the opening reception of the show here at the gallery on September 21 from 5:30 PM– 9:00 PM. The show will remain up with available works until October 21, 2017. For information and inquiries please contact the gallery directly.

We are pleased to announce our fall 2017 exhibition, American Women Artists: 1860–1960, which explores the journey of women artists during this time as they sought to establish themselves as professionals in an art world dominated primarily by men. The exhibition catalogue opens with an introductory essay by Nicole Amoroso, which highlights the many challenges that these women faced and the ways in which they sought to overcome those obstacles. For example, when necessary, these determined women petitioned for admittance to life drawing classes which had traditionally been open only to men or formed their own artists’ clubs and societies when they were excluded from those already in existence.
Moreover, this exhibition features a wide variety of women artists, including such renowned examples as Mary Cassatt, Lilian Westcott Hale, and Jane Peterson, as well as numerous less familiar names, like Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts, Alice Beard, and Virginia Berresford. The exhibition catalogue contains individual essays on each of these women which delve deeper into their biographies. While their stories are unique, they were united by many of the same struggles which faced all women artists. For instance, many artists such as Mary Cassatt and Laura Coombs Hills chose not to marry because they believed that they could not marry and be professional artists; those who did marry such as Lilian Westcott Hale had to very carefully balance their domestic responsibilities alongside their artistic aspirations. And yet, despite all the barriers that these women faced, they led highly successful careers in which they exhibited widely, supported themselves comfortably through the sale of their work, and achieved considerable reputations during their lifetime. Sadly, history has not been kind to these women, and so many of them have fallen into relative obscurity. At Avery Galleries, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase these talented artists once again and grant them the hard-won recognition that they deserve.
In conjunction with this exhibition, Avery Galleries will also be featuring nine contemporary women artists, whose work will be on view during the run of the main exhibition, from October 13th to November 10th, 2017.
Eckert Fine Art is pleased to present Eric Forstmann – Still Workings, a solo presentation of artist Eric Forstmann’s latest paintings. The opening event with the artist will be held from 4-7pm on Saturday, October 14 at 12 Old Barn Road in Kent, Connecticut. The exhibition will continue through November 26, 2017. This is the artist’s 15th solo exhibition with the gallery.
This exhibition is distinguished by a notable change of venue for the artist. A native of Northwest Connecticut, Forstmann has for years focused on the splendor of the local terrain and the characteristics of quintessential New England interior, bric-à-brac, and curio. Of late though, the artist has been working exclusively from a new studio in the revitalizing downtown scene of Torrington, Connecticut. With a studio perched to overlook the main intersection, we see new indicators through Forstmann’s work that change is underway.
