Los Angeles Art Show, 2011

The LA Art Show ended yesterday. The fair and the weather were beautiful. There was a giant sign on the Convention Center and it was 70-ish, sunny, calm – just terrific.

     
      We showed paintings from Hugh Mesibov’s surrealist period, The Wartime Shipyard, 1942-45, and works by Missourians-turned-Californians, Dorothy Browdy Kushner and Fred Shane. The  California theme was continued by natives Fred Becker, Claire Mahl Moore, Pele deLappe, and Ansei Uchima.

      
      Not to be out-done, New York City was represented by Will Barnet, Peggy Bacon, James Daugherty, Peter Grippe, Bernard Rosenquit, Anne Ryan, Louis Schanker, and Harry Sternberg.
