Group Show

A fair to middlin’ ho hum summer potpourri group show highlighted by Jimmy Ernst’s rigid web-like Cathedral, linearly woven out of thorny amorphous and box-like shapes. Also features works by Donald Nicholson, Nino Caffe, Jacques Fabert, Joby Baker, Ernest Freed, Pierre Jerome, Max Hartstein, Barnabe, and Christian Title. The latter’s Village in Southern France is a warmly bleak, desolate landscape in which murky verdure blots out a rigid expanse of sky with sensitivity and a kind of rich color-symbolism. Barnabe’s still life, built up of closely related local colors, is like a Persian village on a desert.
