We are pleased to present the works of two distinguished American artists: Bob Kane and Bernard Chaet, January 29 – February 10. Kane has exhibited at our gallery with annual solo exhibitions since 1987, while Chaet is a newcomer to our gallery stable of artists. Both artists use color, texture, and form to express their feelings towards landscape, still life, and the figure. Their locale is quite different however, the Mediterranean region, versus the northeast United States.

Interestingly both artists had initial solo exhibitions at the historic Bertha Schaefer Galleries in New York, Kane in the early 1960’s and Chaet ten years earlier in 1954. Both have had numerous exhibitions at prominent galleries in many major cities and both are in about thirty museum collections.

Kane studied with another of our gallery artists, Will Barnet at the Art Students League of New York around 1961, while Chaet studied with a former gallery artist, Karl Zerbe, at the School of Museum of Fine Arts in Boston during the 1940’s. Chaet in turn spent much of his career teaching painting at Yale University from 1951 to 1990.

Health conditions for both artists prompted us to create this two-person exhibition in order to relieve them from the obligation to “fill the gallery”. The result is a fascinating collection of paintings.

The Harmon-Meek Gallery is open Monday through Friday, 10 am to 5pm. We hope you can join us for this and the other exhibitions that are part of this season’s scheduled exhibitions. As always, works by any of our artists are available for show by request or appointment. Please call or stop by. A show catalogue is available for $5 including postage

Warm regards,
