New Paintings by Margaret Buchte
Read More......
Great Barrington, MA – New Paintings by Margaret Buchte will
be on view at Art On Main, The Gallery at Barnbrook Realty from January 3 to
February 26, 2015.
Working primarily in oils for this show, Margaret Buchte,
one of the Berkshire’s best-known regional artists, has captured the light and
energy of the rural landscape and the urban streetscape. Though her easel and palette are commonly
seen in and around Great Barrington, Lenox and other small hamlets of the
Berkshire hills, Buchte has widened her reach and is working in “plein aire”
further afield these days. Indeed, there
are horses and cows out below the blue sky and clean air of grasslands but we
are also treated to the man-made, architectural and decidedly grayer concrete
of life in the city.
For those of us who have lived in the Berkshires for a long
time, when the commonplace scenes of everyday life can become stale or just too
familiar to notice, the paintings of Margaret Buchte enliven our attention and we are invited to see them
again through Buchte’s rich color and dazzling light. This is a very enriching experience.

Goldstein himself, having lived in the
Berkshires for many years, is surprised by his sudden interest in the subject of
the late fall and its weathered forms.
Having been an active shutterbug throughout his many trips some of which
to exotic destinations where landscape was seductive and photography somewhat
of a mission, the “Flora After Frost” images came out of a deep but unexpected commitment.
An unlikely subject turned into a project that has resulted in these fifteen
images. During late fall, when snow and freezing rain was in the air, he continued
to seek out the textures, forms and linear compositions with zeal.
Goldstein, author, retired professor and
department chair at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, found within the
narrow range of subject, many challenges to be confronted. His photographic vocabulary, inspired by some
new photo gear and the desire to test its range with seed pods and dried flower
heads, is the reason for his closer look at what turns out to be a visually
rich and rewarding world. This is a world
where photography can invite contemplation in the profundity of nature, its
natural cycles of growth and decay reminding us of own transience.

MIA LE COMTE
1909-2003
In
a letter of October 7, 1944 to Mia Le Comte, Albert Einstein wrote, “Your
paintings deeply impressed me”.
Mia Munzer Le Comte was born in Prague and received
her master’s degree there at the Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture by the
time she was 20. She also studied as an exchange student at the Berlin Academy
under Karl Hofer. Later she moved to Paris where she worked privately with
Oscar Kokoschka and with Paul Colin, making theater design and posters.
Madame Le Comte displayed her works at one-woman shows
at the Feigl Gallery in Prague, the Galerie Rousseau in Paris, and at numerous
galleries and museums in the USA. Soon after she immigrated to the States, her
work was included in an exhibition of modern Czech artists which toured the
United States and Canada. Paintings by Le Comte have appeared in
group-exhibitions in Prague, Paris, Nice, and from New York to San Francisco.
Her works have hung in the Prague Museum of Modern Art and Ministry of
Education, as well as in many private collections in Europe and America.
Shortly after her exhibition at the Galerie Rousseau
in 1939, Hitler occupied Paris, and Mme. Le Comte fled to the United States,
arriving after a harrowing journey which took many months. She left most of her
paintings in the custody of a friend, the writer Andre Germain. When she
returned to France after the war, her friend had disappeared without a trace,
and the paintings have never been located.
The Berkshires were her home from 1966 until 2003. She
brought something of Central Europe with her which lent special character to
her works. Wit and humor infuse her art. “The enthusiasm – strength—the
ebullience – the originality of her work deserve the widest audience.” (Renova
Art Gallery)
“I
admire the art of Mia Le Comte”.

Mia Munzer Le Comte at Art On Main
The Garden Party, Oil on Canvas by Mia Le Comte
Monday, June 23, 2014
Mia Munzer Le Comte: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" begins Saturday, June 29, 2014
For Immediate Release
Mia Munzer Le Comte: “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”
June 28 – September 4, 2014
Reception to honor the artist: Saturday, August 30, 2014
from 5-7 p.m.
Art On Main, The Gallery at Barnbrook Realty
271 Main St., Great Barrington, MA 01230
Contact Information: Peggy Reeves, Curator, (413) 528-2446
Open during regular business hours of Barnbrook Realty, 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. daily
Great Barrington, MA – Art On Main is very pleased to present
the work of Mia Munzer Le Comte, (1909-2003), who lived and painted in the
Berkshires from 1966 to 2003 at her home in Alford. The exhibition of her paintings was made
possible with the help of her son, Douglas Le Comte who has been caring and
keeping track of the collection through the years. A tour through the home in
Alford, now a family retreat, traces the trajectory of his mother’s life, an
account of her odyssey through her art.
Married to a writer, John Milton scholar, college professor,
Edward Le Comte for 60 years, Mia Le Comte was herself a writer. Much of what
we know about the life that gestated this art is from her memoir published in
1986 which is dedicated to her mother who perished in a concentration camp in
Poland. “I Still Dream of Prague” is the story of “the halcyon days in Prague
before World War I, the aftermath of that war, her marriages, her success as an
artist, and the approach of World War II.”
Hitler’s occupation of Prague on her 30th birthday is the
beginning of the story of her survival as she escapes the horrors of the war
and her transformation from innocence to worldliness through the emigration
experience. In this exhibit, we will see Le Comte’s deep connection to the
universal longing for the “land that I heard of once in a lullaby,” in
paintings such as “The Flight,” and “The Leaving” which recounts the Biblical
exodus from Egypt. We make the long psychic
journey as Mia Le Comte did escaping to Rome, Nice, Paris, Lisbon and finally
to “the blue skies” of America in a series of paintings with more idyllic
subjects set in the “Garden of Eden” and “Garden Party” with friends in the
Berkshires.
After earning a Master’s degree in Fine Arts in 1929, Le
Comte studied with two famed Expressionists, Karl Hofer (1878-1955) in Berlin
and Oskar Kokoschka, (1886-1980) in Paris.
Hofer’s lighter, happier palette appears to be the greater
influence. From Hofer we see domestic
scenes, families and gatherings of figures in stillness and tranquility while
from Kokoschka, Le Comte has absorbed the power and direction of the
brushstroke and movement. The dream is always present as it filters through her
subjects and appears on canvas in the forms, sometimes floating, of people and places
from a rich imagination. One may feel
the presence of Chagall, of a Surrealism based on the deep connection to the
immigrant consciousness, framed by the pogroms of the past and the Holocaust
about to happen.
Shortly after her
exhibition at the Galerie Rousseau in 1939, Hitler occupied Paris and Mme. Le
Comte fled to the US, arriving after a harrowing journey which took many
months. She left most of her paintings
in the custody of a friend, the writer Andre Germain. When she returned to Paris after the war, her
friend had disappeared without a trace and the paintings have never been
located. After seeing New York for the first time in January 1941, she set to
work for an exhibition of modern Czech artists which toured the US and Canada.
The Berkshire Museum mounted two one-women shows in the 70s and her audience
expanded here and abroad.
The collective title of the 26 paintings exhibited in 1970
at the Berkshire Museum “The Family Album,” was inspired by a visit to Prague
in 1965 which brought back memories to her of “all that is lost and gone.” She
brought with her to the US something of the trauma of her central European
heritage but adversity is, very often, the breeding ground for humor. Le Comte farmed that wit with a series of
plywood cutout figures of cultural icons of theater, politics, music and
literature. Josephine Baker, Benny
Goodman and many others are in private collections but Norman Mailer and Ed
Koch will be attending this show.
With representation at the Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York
and the show at the Berkshire Museum, Le Comte’s work was very briskly
collected in the 70s and then again shows at the Spencertown Academy in the 90s
propelled her work into the spotlight. Her
paintings are widely exhibited internationally and in many public and private
collections in the Berkshires. An
extensive list of galleries and private collectors is available at www.artonmain.blogspot.com.
Mia Munzer Le Comte’s work is represented in Great
Barrington and is on view at Wingate Ltd., 420 Stockbridge Rd., Great
Barrington.

Irmari Nacht PhotoCollages at Art on Main Gallery during May-June
Irmari Nacht of Englewood, NJ and South Egremont, MA will be showing photocollage assemblages from her "Facades/Background" series and "Pages " series at Art on Main, the Gallery at Barnbrook Realty in Great Barrington, MA from May 3 through June 26. In this show, the artist uses one or more photographs to create compound or fragmented images exploring the concepts of altered realism, segueing of colors, and multiple imagery.
Irmari Nacht’s art is in many corporate and public collections, such as AT&T, PSE&G, ADP, Newark Museum, International Museum of Collage, Mexico, Bowdoin College, Jimmy Carter Museum, Cleveland Institute of Art, Rutgers University, and Yale Art Museum. She has exhibited internationally, as well as nationally, and received two NJ State Council on the Arts Fellowships in Sculpture. She received a second Puffin Foundation Grant for “Who Am I?” an interactive project where the viewer becomes part of the artwork.
Her work has been recently exhibited in the Newark Museum, NJ State Museum, Berkshire Museum, Belskie Museum, NJ, Lichtenstein Center for the Arts, MA, Doverodde Book Arts Festival, Denmark, Westport Library, Conn, WAH Center, NY, June Fitzpatrick Gallery, ME, Univ of Northampton, UK, and in solo shows at the Atrium Gallery, Bard College at Simon's Rock, MA and the Intermezzo Gallery, BergenPAC, NJ.
The “Facades/Backgrounds” series, uses small round raised pictures to tell a story that relates to the larger images. Nacht explained, "Because the work appears on two planes, you can see the images in details or fragments, as well as viewing it as a larger, complex picture." In “Cellphonia” and “Glitterati” Nacht depicts celebrities as well as everyday people in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. The “Sunset Segue” pieces explore the relationship of color placement - the changes of light, tone, and mood as one color is placed next to another.
The photo collage series "Pages" incorporates the ancient technique of encaustics, the traditional media of painting, photography, photogram, recycled objects, with the contemporary methods of computer enhancements. The inclusion of written materials from books - words, sentences, fragments, and slivers - add another dimension imparting information and new ideas. The images of shadows and reflections through windows, clouds on a beautiful sunny day and during the deepening skies of sunset, artifacts of murders, money from around the world, fasteners and unfasteners, tiny watch parts and metal shavings are unified by slivers of cut-up book pages and the grid format.
The public is invited to the opening reception Saturday, May 17 from 5-7pm at Art On Main, the Gallery at Barnbrook Realty, 271 Main Street, Great Barrington, MA. The gallery is open from May 3 to June 27 during Barnbrook's regular business hours, usually 10 - 5 everyday.

"Cuban Odyssey: Photography by Elaine Radiss" Now Showing at Art On Main
“Cuban Odyssey: Photography by Elaine Radiss”
March 1 – May 1, 2014
Reception for the artist: Saturday, April 5, 2014, from 5 to
7 pm.
Art On Main, The Gallery at Barnbrook Realty
271 Main St., Great Barrington, MA 01230
Contact Information: Peggy Reeves, Curator, (413) 528-2446
Open during regular business hours of Barnbrook Realty, 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. daily
Great Barrington, MA – Art On Main is very pleased to
present “Cuban Odyssey: Photographs by Elaine Radiss ”during the months of
March and April 2014. While love of nature
was her initial portal into photography, Radiss’s vision has expanded with
experiences away from her garden toward life in far away cultures such as Tanzania
and Mexico. This latest body of work
marks a departure away from her usual focus on the natural world and presents
her photographic impressions of the people of Cuba as well as the rich,
colorful culture of the country which has kept its doors only slightly ajar for
travelers from the USA.
Happy to invite you into their homes, Radiss found the
people of Cuba warm and open. The gorgeous colors inside and outside their
houses and the textures of crumbling facades provide a wonderful backdrop for
the images. “Cuban music was heard everywhere and the whole trip was a feast
for the senses. Of all the bodies of work I have produced thus far, Cuba has
been my favorite.” Though vicarious, there is no doubt that the viewer will
feel some of the visual and emotional thrill of the Cuban experience while
viewing these works. Travel along with us to Cuba at Art On Main.

Art On Main, The Gallery at Barnbrook Realty
271 Main St., Great Barrington, MA 01230
Contact Peggy Reeves, Curator, at (413) 528-2446 for more
information
Great Barrington, MA – Marilyn Orner Cromwell will be
exhibiting her recent paintings at Art On Main, The Gallery at Barnbrook
Realty, through the months of January and February 2014. A resident of Egremont, MA, the artist is
also an art educator at Berkshire Country Day School and has taught art there
for over 30 years. She has a Masters in
Creative Arts in Teaching from Lesley University.
Having raised her own children and juggled a committed
teaching schedule for so long, Orner Cromwell is now more focused on her own
studio practices. With her children
grown, she has moved her attention to creating oil paintings that concentrate
on readily available still-life subjects.
Working with inanimate domestic objects as her main theme, she is able
to work on aesthetic problems which she intentionally sets up to challenge
herself. Placement, light, color,
compositional weight, spatial relationships and textural surfaces are combined
to form an interesting problem for which she is drawn to paint a solution.
Orner Cromwell’s work has been seen in solo and group shows
throughout the country and locally at the Lenox Library and the Image Gallery
in Stockbridge.
Art On Main is open during the regular business hours of
Barnbrook Realty. It is located in the
center of downtown Great Barrington at 271 Main Street. Please join us for the opening reception on

Great Barrington, MA – Art On Main is pleased to exhibit the
recent watercolor paintings of Deborah Hanson Greene at the office of Barnbrook
Realty on Main Street in Great Barrington.
The spacious walls will showcase Berkshire landscapes and still-lifes
which are matted, framed and under glass.
A reception for the artist will take place on Saturday, November 16,
from 5 to 7 pm. All are welcome to
attend.
Greene, a Lenox native who returned to the Berkshires from
the Washington-Baltimore area after a long hiatus, paints in-between her
full-time development job with the Norman Rockwell Museum. Her work has been accepted into juried
exhibits in Annapolis, MD and Alexandria, VA and was represented by several
galleries in the that area. In 2009, The
Marketplace Café in Sheffield hosted a solo show of her paintings.
A graduate of Vassar College, majoring in anthropology,
Greene worked most of her life in the Midwest and Washington – Baltimore
corridor. She also spent a
transformative nine months camping across Africa, and two months in Nepal, trekking
and camping in Everest National Park.
Despite these world adventures or perhaps because of these
experiences, Greene’s paintings reflect her intimate relationship with the
local landscape and the everyday objects of her home and personal collections. Appreciating the north light and familiar
landscapes that inspired her to paint as a child, she returned to her childhood
roots in the Berkshires where she shares her Victorian home with her boyfriend
and two cats.

"iphone Artistry" an annual event?
Great Barrington, MA – Art On Main presents “iphone
Artistry” an exhibit of cell phone photography by local artists of Berkshire
Co. through October 2013. A reception
for the artists will take place on Saturday, August 31 from 5 to 7 pm at the
gallery of Barnbrook Realty, 271 Main St., Great Barrington.
Smart phones, in particular Apple’s iphone have been around
for less than a decade. In that short period of time they have become
ubiquitous as the easy-to-reach, simple to use camera of choice for sharing
images with friends as well as fine art photography. With access to free or inexpensive apps for
shooting, resizing, distorting, stylizing, framing, blending, texturizing,
stitching panoramas, and painting, these self-contained units are also
miniature darkrooms where creativity is unleashed using the many tools in a
very big toolbox.
This exhibit explores the various approaches to iphonography
by nine Berkshire artists. Many of the
photographs are created from images taken with the iphone camera but later put
through one or more post-processing steps. Some use the basic iphone’s built-in lens
while others utilize options most people are surprised to learn are available
as options such as HDR (High Dynamic Range) and panorama. Most clearly demonstrated in this exhibit,
is that in the hands of an artist, a camera phone can be an expressive vehicle,
lots of fun and inspiring for the viewer.

Ruth Kolbert "Friends, Artists and Special Places: New Paintings"
Art On Main presents the oil
paintings of Sheffield, Massachusetts artist Ruth Kolbert beginning June 29 until August 29 with a reception for
the artist on Saturday, July 13, 2013 from 5 to 7 pm.
Kolbert was born in Czechoslovakia
and studied with Oscar Kokoschka in Salzburg, Austria who was deeply rooted in
Expressionism and, in the US with abstract painters Nicolas Carone and Charles
Cajori both known for their exploration of color as well as strong movement in
painting. Though her unique individual
style is anchored in portraiture, the influence of these artists is evident in
the energy and strong presence of her subjects on the canvas.
After a long career in publishing
and graphic design with such notable companies as Random House, Crown, and as
Art Director at Scribner’s, Kolbert continued to paint but made the move to the
Berkshires where she met other artists, musicians and writers. She chose to make these friends the subjects
of her paintings inviting them to sit for her and has continued to do so for
the last 23 years. Often these paintings
are life-size or larger and reveal the relationship of her subjects to their
environment which provides a wider context for deeper understanding of the
people we are viewing.
The exhibit also includes
portraits of Berkshire farm structures, a subject Kolbert has developed a close
tie to as an active member of the Sheffield Land Trust. Barns as well as the surrounding land and its
conservation, are vehicles for compositions that echo her desire to preserve
the landscape in art and in life.
