Alla Prima:
Classic Paintings
by
Charles J. Pinkney

The Clara Fritzsche Library will host “Alla Prima: Classic Paintings,” an exhibit of landscapes, still lifes and portraiture by Charles J. Pinkney. Alla prima, also known as direct painting, is a style of painting where, instead of building colors up with layers, the painting is done in one session while the paint is still wet. The term comes from the Italian phrase meaning “at the first” or “all at once.” The works are oils on linen and the bright colors and lush greenery present in the paintings are, in the words of the artist, “a reflection of how welcome spring is this year.”

Dates: June 7 through August 3, 2007
Library Hours: Monday-Tuesday 9 a.m.-8 p.m.; Wednesday-Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m.-2 p.m.; Sunday CLOSED; (CLOSED July 4th)

Notre Dame College’s Clara Fritzsche Library will host “Marvin Jones: Intellect Meets Primitive,” a posthumous retrospective showing of the works of the prominent and local artist, professor and collector. Marvin H. Jones was Professor Emeritus of Printmaking in the Art Department at Cleveland State where he taught from 1976 until his retirement in 2004. Born in Flora, Illinois, he received a B.A. in Art from Anderson College in 1964. After earning an M.A. in Sculpture from the University of California, Davis in 1968, he taught in public schools in California and Indiana and at Sierra College, a community college in the Sacramento area. In the 1970’s, before arriving in Cleveland, Jones taught at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada and the Kansas City Art institute. He was a visiting artist at numerous other institutions including the Rhode Island School of Design, California State University, the University of Dallas and Karl Marx University in the German Democratic Republic.

Jones was an amazingly prolific and multi-talented artist. His works have appeared in over 550 group exhibitions throughout the world. He had over 75 one-man exhibitions of his paintings, prints, drawings, jewelry and sculpture in the U.S, Canada, Europe, Korea and Japan. Reviews of his work have appeared in major publications of the art world such as Artforum, Art in America, Artscanada, Art and Artists, Art News, West Art, Art Magazine, Artweek, and The New Art Examiner.

Northcoast Impressions:
works created in the “open air” around Cleveland by Plein Air Painters, Cleveland

July 7th through August 31st, 2005

Opening reception will be held on Thursday, July 7th from 7 to 9 p.m.

Through the months of May and June this group of artists visited the scenic Notre Dame campus to capture images of the grounds and buildings on canvas. These works plus other scenes of the Greater Cleveland area will be included in the exhibit, which will be part of South Euclid Fun Day, an opportunity for people to explore various institutions in the City of South Euclid scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 30th.

Plein Air Painters, Cleveland was formed in 2003 by Alix Hallman Travis to celebrate painting on site from life with others who share that challenge and enthusiasm. Rapid brush strokes are characteristic of the method and watercolor is often the medium of choice for this reason, although oils are also used. The French Impressionists often worked outdoors and there are similarities in subject matter and technique.

An opening reception will be held on Thursday, July 7th from 7 to 9 p.m. The event is free and refreshments will be served. Call for summer hours. For more information, contact Karen Zoller at 216-373-5267.

From the Ancient Center
Mandala Drawings and
Metal Sculptures
by Christine Siarka

April 7th through May 27th 2005

Opening reception: Thursday, April 7, 7-9 pm. Music by Still Inertia with Mike Williams and Amanda North. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome!
Gallery talk: 7:30 pm. The artist will lead visitors through a walking meditation while completing a sculpture installation by adding rings of river stones or metal discs.

Siarka’s current work with mandalas in drawings and metal sculpture was inspired by a desire to combine her practice of meditation with the line and shape found through walks in Ohio ’s natural spaces. The three-dimensional mandalas consist of stone in the form of found objects and metal. The metals are manipulated in color through combinations of patinas. The form and texture of the metal is altered to balance the rock’s natural shape, surface and color.
