Twentieth century American painting from New England's summer art colonies will be the focus of ACME Fine Art's summer-long SUMMER SALON exhibition. The something for everyone- exhibition will open on Friday 15 June and will run through 11 August 2007. More than thirty artists and over forty works will be included in the exhibition that will present a stylistic cross section of modern art in America. Coastal New England art colonies such as Monhegan Island and Cranberry Island in Maine, and Westport and Provincetown in Massachusetts are the sources for much of the artwork that will comprise the exhibition, and the New England coastline will be the loosely interpreted theme. Artwork from the early twentieth century will include paintings by, Edwin Dickinson, Blanche Lazzell, Grace Martin Taylor, Ben Shahn, Agnes Weinrich, T. Lux Feininger, George Yater, Jo Cain, and Howard Gibbs. Mid-century artists whose work will be represented include: Jack Tworkov, Robert DeNiro Sr., Lester Johnson, James Rosati, Myron Stout, Stephen Pace, Maurice Freedman, Karl Knaths, Peter Busa, Herman Maril, Philip Malicoat, Nanno de Groot, Kenneth Stubbs, James Gahagan, Haynes Ownby, Jim Forsberg, Peter Grippe, William Freed, Leo Manso, Lillian Orlowsky, and Michael Loew among others. ACME will also feature a fine selection of paintings by late twentieth century and contemporary artists such as, George Lloyd, Robert Beauchamp, George McNeil, Dorothy Eisner, Rose Basile, Tony Vevers, and Myrna Harrison.
