CAPE ANN COLLECTORS Summer Show, Line, Form, and Color: Art’s Highest Calling, opens Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1, 2-6 p.m. (Saturdays through June 21). This compelling collection (among 53 works) celebrates an enlightened yet accessible body of work conveying emotion and creating mood through selective and purposeful design.
Australian born Cape Ann master Hayley Lever states, “This is my rule for artists: be a good craftsman and then paint as you feel – using art as a vehicle for conveying emotion.”
Lever articulates art’s highest and best calling – bold and energetic work (often from natural forms) using line, form, and color – creating mood with line, form, and color to capture vitality, emotion, and intellect. Answering the call, CAPE ANN COLLECTORS’ new acquisitions from cherished masters Leon Kroll and Nell Blaine combine advanced strategies relative to form and design for irresistible appeal.
Burst into summer with CAPE ANN COLLECTORS’ dazzling designs!
