SUMMARY:Days of Heaven: Jeanne D'Orge and Brad Schwieger
DESCRIPTION:Days of Heaven: Jeanne D’Orge and Brad Schwieger art exhibition opens Friday\, February 19\, 2021. The exhibit can be seen during regular gallery hours: Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 4:00 pm or by appointment. \nOne of Carmel’s preeminent visual storytellers\, Mrs. Carl Cherry (Jeanne D’Orge) employed Modernist forms and muted colors to narrate an internal experience so readily indefinable in her paintings of processions\, landscapes\, rituals and ceremonies. This month\, the Cherry Center unites one of Cherry’s most groundbreaking series—Paintings Under Glass (1947–1954)—with the ceramic work of Brad Schwieger. \nCherry’s use of blues and greens\, contrasting with the whites of the figures\, grants the work a nocturnal\, dreamlike quality.  Some critics have questioned the extent to which the piece draws on spiritual principles\, suggesting instead that it might depict figures from Mrs.  Cherry’s own imaginative pantheon\, as its visionary intensity seems to suggest. The work is complemented by Mr. Schwieger’s large\, vase-like ceramic sculptures\, which suggest and refer to the Mrs. Cherry’s figures. \nBrad Schwieger has participated in more than 300 exhibitions including: The Seto Ceramics and Art Glass Center\, Seto Japan\, 2002; The 2nd Cheongju International Craft Competition\, Korea\, 2001; American Shino\, Babcock Galleries\, New York\, New York\, 2000 Different Stokes: International Wood Fired Ceramics Invitational\, at The University of Iowa Museum of Art in Iowa City\, among others. He was an Artist in Residence at The Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts in Helena\, Montana and the Watershed Center for Ceramics in Maine\, both in 1998. He has conducted more than 50 workshops and lectured across the United States\, Europe and Asia. His work has been published and reviewed in American Craft\, Ceramics Monthly\, and many other periodicals and books. \nThe exhibit will run in the gallery through March 26\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Standing\, Walking\, Sitting and Lying Down -  Lin Fischer: New Perspectives on the Figure
DESCRIPTION:The human figure has been central to art ever since people began painting. Providing the literal edge between a person’s physical and mental realms\, the human figure has become a significant form for artists to make their interior realities apparent to us.  Some artists use a processes of representation and elaboration\, procure symbols to make their interior worlds visible to others\, or infer art history while replicating the world in which they live. By presenting Lin Fischer’s newest paintings\, the exhibition considers how traditional interpretations of the body continue to convey narrative\, content and also enhance awareness and engagement with lived experience. Visit online exhibit here. \nStanding\, Walking\, Sitting and Lying Down online exhibit opens April 16 through May 21\, 2021. \nPictured: “Dark Beach Scene” – Lin Fischer

SUMMARY:A Timeless Spring Online Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:“A Timeless Spring\,” an exhibit exploring the artwork of Mrs. Carl Cherry and Reuben Kadish\, closed September 4th. The exhibit can be seen online through October 31\, 2021. \nVISIT EXHIBIT \nIn the years around World War II\, modernist art produced in the United States was varied in style and subject matter.  Artwork from this era was produced by an increasingly diverse group of artists working in a range of media\, as revealed by the works in the current exhibition. The muscular surrealism and abstract expressionism of Reuben Kadish meets the churning forms of an early WWII-era Carmel art by Mrs. Carl Cherry (Jeanne D’Orge). Focusing on the period of 1935 to 1980\, the exhibit is not a unified conjuring of American modernism\, but rather a cross-section of many-sided–even incompatible–art forms\, media and themes.\nReuben Kadish–painter\, muralist\, printmaker and sculptor–was born in Chicago in 1913. At fourteen he began studying with Lorser Feitelson. Politically outspoken\, Kadish caught the attention of Jackson Pollock and they became friends. Kadish taught at the Pacific Institute of Music & Fine Art and assisted muralist Siqueiros in Mexico and in southern California. During the 1930s\, he was in San Francisco and head of the mural division for the Federal Art Project. During WWII Kadish was an art correspondent for Life magazine. After the war\, he purchased a dairy farm in New Jersey and withdrew from the art world until the late 1950s. Mr. Kadish then took up sculpture and taught at the Cooper Union in NYC. Kadish died in NYC on Sept. 20\, 1992. \nBorn in 1887 in England\, Jeanne D’Orge spent her childhood in Edinburgh\, London\, and Paris. Her book of verse\, Voice in the Circle\, published in 1955\, focuses on her childhood in Europe. After moving to New York in 1906\, D’Orge became associated with “The Others\,” a group of iconoclastic poets that included Marianne Moore\, William Carlos Williams\, and Wallace Stevens. Her poetry was included in the anthology The Others and The Poetry Journal. In 1923 Scribner’s Magazine published her award-winning “Lobos” poems. \nPictured: Untitled Bathers – Reuben Kadish

She employs drawing\, paper cutouts and live-action footage to create both narrative and abstract pieces. After a decade of working in stop-motion animation\, she continues to investigate the language of movement in her print-based works.

For the work in this exhibit\, he takes inspiration from visualizations and analyses of sound\, such as oscilloscope displays and spectrograms\, and uses electronic synthesis techniques to produce signal patterns in sound and image.

SUMMARY:MCGives! "Big Idea" 2021
DESCRIPTION:We are writing to invite you to support the energetic role of art and literature in these difficult times. Throughout this season\, we’ve been reflecting on how the arts have taught us to comprehend and perceive. More than just another lens through which to look\, they’ve been a prism\, a means of seeing more deeply. To see through the lens of art is to flush from the deep undergrowth of the self some thought\, feeling\, comprehension\, question or music you didn’t know was in you\, or in the world.  It instructs us how to relax; how to pay attention\, not just to the notes but the silences amid the notes. This is true for discovering some newness of the emotions or uncovering new ideas—which is essentially the mission of the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts. That indeed is an enormous idea. Please join us!! \nA contribution through the MCGives! program can increase your gift with generous matching funds. Please add to the contributions of 100% of our Board of Directors and make a contribution by visiting MontereyCountyGives starting Thursday\, November 11th through Friday\, December 31\, 2021.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED "Seicento" with The Cherry Trio
DESCRIPTION:The Cherry Center seeks to put the welfare of our audiences first. Due to the rise in Covid cases in Monterey County and the aggressive transmission of the Omicron variant\, the Cherry Center is canceling the performance scheduled for January 2nd.  We apologize for any inconvenience. Ticket holders will be contacted for a full refund. \nThe Cherry Trio (Elizabeth Gaver – baroque violin\, Penny Hanna -viola da gamba\, Michael Peterson – harpsichord) with guest violinist David Wilson will perform music from the seventeenth century on baroque violins\, viola da gamba\, and harpsichord. The program includes trio sonatas by Purcell\, Rosenmüller and Muffat\, a Marais suite for viola da gamba\, and harpsichord solo by Fischer. The French\, Italian\, German\, and English styles of this period stand in contrast to one another in creative ways that are often combined within the same piece. Typical for the early Baroque period\, these works express a wide range of “affects” or emotions – the melancholy adagio\, stately allemande\, exuberant passacaglia and much more! \nThe Cherry Trio has performed at the Cherry Center annually for ten years to welcome the New Year. Unfortunately we couldn’t carry on that tradition last year\, but we are very happy to be together again in 2022! As the concert will be held indoors\, proof of vaccination is required\, as well as mandatory masking while indoors. \n

SUMMARY:Mountains and Waters Without End
DESCRIPTION:Mountains and Waters Without End\, an exhibit celebrating western landscape\, opens Friday\, April 8th at Carl Cherry Center for the Arts. Comprised of approximately 20 paintings\, the exhibit will include recent work by Margaret Rinkovsky and Jan Wagstaff. A reception for the artists will be held Friday\, April 8th from 5 to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. \nOrganized to explore various time periods\, styles\, and themes in landscape painting\, Mountains and Rivers Without End investigates the relationship between abstraction and landscape painting\, the effects of photography on landscapes and the examination of the materiality in painting. The exhibit brings together two artists who have been working with landscape and may lack conventional aesthetic hooks of expression\, narrative\, and beauty. However\, these paintings are powerful aesthetic statements that reflect the complex and ambiguous relationship between humans and the environment—a relationship of particular importance here in the West. \nThe exhibit can be seen Wednesday through Saturday from 12 to 4 p.m. through May 14\, 2022. \nVISIT ONLINE EXHIBIT  \nPictured: “Along the River” – Jan Wagstaff \n\nMeet the Artists: \nMargaret Rinkovsky \nMargaret Rinkovsky is a painter currently living in Santa Cruz\, California. She received her Bachelor’s of Fine Arts degree from UCLA. She also holds a Masters of Arts degree in Printmaking and a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting\, also from UCLA. Ms. Rinkovsky is the recipient of the prestigious SECA Award from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, was a nominee to the American Academy of Arts in New York\, and received the Distinguished Artist Award from the Santa Cruz Art League. \nMargaret Rinkovsky’s paintings and drawings are referential to landscapes. For this artist nature serves as the stimulus for her oeuvre\, not as a literal reflection but as a private and personal interpretive experience.  Her work seems to synthesize the “material and spiritual” in nature—where meaning resides in and is communicated by the formal visual elements of painting.” George W. Neubert\, Associate Director\, SFMMA \nJan Wagstaff \nOver the past four decades Jan Wagstaff’s paintings have been exhibited in museums and galleries world-wide and acquired for private and public collections around the globe. Her artwork has garnered extensive reviews\, and she has been awarded numerous Artist-in-Residence opportunities\, grants\, fellowships and prizes.  Wagstaff’s imagery derives primarily from nature\, which she renders in oil on canvas. She is especially drawn to marshland grasses\, aspen canopies\, birds in flight\, waterways and reflections. Says Jan\, “As I observe the natural world\, I am ever conscious of how I am experiencing it – how all of my senses play a part in my perception. My work is about seasons\, sounds\, texture\, movement and shapes. It is about blending colors\, subtleties of light and dark\, and things near and far. About seeing and celebrating the ordinary such that it becomes extraordinary. My paintings are visual entertainment but even more\, I hope they encourage viewers to recall places that hold special meaning to them.”

SUMMARY:The Most Beautiful Mistake You Can Make
DESCRIPTION:The Most Beautiful Mistake You Can Make\, an exhibit exploring errors\, omissions and faults in art\, opens Friday\, June 3rd at the Carl Cherry Center for the Arts. A reception for the artists will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. The Cherry Center is located at the corner of 4th and Guadalupe\, Carmel. \nThe exhibit intends to emphasis how random errors can become an artistic catalyst to an aesthetically complete work of art.  In some folk art traditions artists insert “intentional” errors into handmade textiles as a gesture to the perfection of divinity—or\, at least\, the imperfection of humans. In the Japan\, the practice of “kintsugi” (gold splicing) uses errors to enhance ceramics. Instead of discarding marred vessels\, practitioners of the art repair broken items with a golden adhesive that enhances the break lines\, making the piece unique. Abstract Expressionism is built on enhancing and using errors in painting. \nThe exhibit will include recent artwork by Tracey Adams\, Rob Barnard\, Allen D. Carter\, Laurel Farrin\, Judith Foosaner\, Nancy Genn\, Francie Hester\, Barbara Johnson\, Tom Nakashima\, Sammy Peters\, Tony Sheeder\, Mark Tanous\, and The Temple Sisters. \nThe exhibit can be seen Wednesdays through Saturdays\, 12 to 4 p.m. or by appointment through June 25th. Visit online exhibit HERE. \nPictured: “Kintsugi” – Tracey Adams\,  Encaustic\, Collage and Japanese Papers on Panel\, 45 in. x 45 in.

One of America’s most honored film critics said it: “Everything I know I learned at the movies.” So true for the millions of people the world over who celebrate each occasion they step in front of a cinema box office today. But what about yesterday\, some 100 years ago? Silents: Before Movies Talked is a multi-media show all about the romance of the silent screen\, the stars\, the directors\, the legends\, few of whom have survived into a new century\, but so many others who are still with us in appreciation and memory. \nOur narrator\, a spritely former screen actress of the ‘20s\, will be our guide through the fabulous years of the silent silver screen. Won’t you join us for a return to the movies where the car chases were fun\, the cops were called Keystone\, the girls were known as vamps\, and the music came from an old upright piano in the pit.  What a swell show! \n\n\n\nSilents:Before Movies Talked opens Friday\, June 17th through Sunday\, July 3\, 2022. Friday and Saturday performances start at 7:30PM; Sunday matinees at 2:00PM. Tickets are $30\, available by calling (831) 717-7373.

SUMMARY:Imagining Carmel: The Art of Jeanne D'Orge and Poetry of Dora Hagemeyer
DESCRIPTION:When Carmel was a small community of artists and bohemians\, many studios and living rooms doubled as galleries or performance spaces. With few formal venues available\, non-conformist artist and poet\, Jeanne D’Orge\, and her inventor husband\, Carl Cherry\, opened their home to share new ideas\, creations\, and perspectives. Their passion to enrich the community’s culture through support of experimental and intellectual arts has continued over the Cherry Center’s nearly 75-year history. \nOur latest exhibit – “Imagining Carmel” – honors the spirit of two such bohemians\, featuring the artwork of our founder\, Jeanne D’Orge\, paired with prose by noted poet and painter Dora Hagemeyer. Ceramics by Brad Schwieger complement the exhibit’s visual and literary storytelling. \n“Imagining Carmel” opens Friday\, July 29th through Saturday\, August 20th\, 2022. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 4:00pm or by appointment. \nPictured: Untitled – Jeanne D’Orge\, Oil on Glassine \n
