One of the country’s most important painters of the early 20th century, John Sloan (1871-1951) made his name painting urban daily life in New York City before coming to Cape Ann for five summers (1914-1918) to paint scenes of the sea, marshes, homes, rocky outcroppings, downtown views, and landscapes that proved to be a hallmark of his career.
In a special loan exhibition, the Cape Ann Museum will feature 39 paintings that Sloan created while in Gloucester, thought to be among his finest work and most prolific period. The Museum holds five major paintings in its permanent collection and will be borrowing 30 more pieces for the exhibit from a wide-reaching network of institutions across the country. JOHN SLOAN Gloucester Days opens July 11 and runs through Nov. 29.
Sloan was born in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania in 1871, grew up in Philadelphia, and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In 1904, he moved to New York City where he affiliated with a group of artists known as “The Eight;” in addition to Sloan, the group included Robert Henri, Maurice Prendergast, William Glackens, Everett Shinn, Arthur Davies, Ernest Lawson, and George Luks. The Eight evolved into the better-known Ashcan School, a loose-knit group of artists who sought to capture the reality of daily life in New York City.
The forward-thinking Armory Show of 1913 in New York was a turning point for Sloan. Inspired by the progressive work he saw there, Sloan sought new venues for painting. He was invited by fellow artist and friend Charles Allan Winter to Gloucester in the summer of 1914, and together they rented a little red cottage near Rocky Neck where Sloan would often paint two landscapes a day. The house was a popular gathering spot for many of their friends, including Stuart Davis. The red cottage still stands on Gloucester’s East Main Street.
Intrigued by the lush green seaside grass juxtaposed against the blue sea, Sloan captured recognizable scenes downtown and along the shoreline. He returned to Cape Ann for four more summers. “After coming back with our easels, canvases, and paint boxes, we would each sit in a corner of the dining room to study our work,” Sloan recalled. “One summer Stuart Davis and family shared the cottage. We went out painting together. All of us were interested in developing different orchestrations of color on the palette.” By 1919, Sloan sought new landscapes for his work and moved to New Mexico.
Cape Ann Museum’s Sloan collection includes: Sunflowers, Rocky Neck, 1914; Old Cone (Uncle Sam) 1914; Glare on the Bay, c. 1914; Red Warehouses at Gloucester, 1914; and Dogtown, Ruined Blue Fences, 1916.
The exhibition will also feature additional paintings on loan from the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College; Lehigh University Art Galleries; Arkell Museum in Canajoharie, NY; Bowdoin College Museum of Art; Syracuse University Art Collection; Delaware Art Museum; Duke University Museum of Art; University of Washington Museum of Art; Norton Museum of Art in Palm Beach, FL; New Britain Museum of American Art; Tacoma Art Museum; Kraushaar Galleries; Parrish Art Museum in NY; as well as private collections.
“Gloucester afforded the first opportunity for continuous work in landscape, and I really made the most of it,” Sloan recalled. “Working from nature gives, I believe, the best means of advance in color and spontaneous design.”
Related JOHN SLOAN Gloucester Days lecture series:
Thursday, July 23 at 7 p.m.: Three Moderns Paint Gloucester: Sloan, Hartley, and Hopper on Cape Ann
Presented by Carol Troyen, an independent scholar and author, and the Kristin and Roger Servison Curator Emerita of American Paintings at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Although they never overlapped in Gloucester, three of the greatest painters of the early 20th century – John Sloan, Edward Hopper, and Marsden Hartley – spent significant parts of their careers on Cape Ann. The three artists’ responses to the region differed markedly, but the area’s appealing vistas led each to a new and modern style. The lecture will trace their steps through Gloucester and compare what each found there.
Thursday, Aug. 13 at 7 p.m.: John Sloan, Robert Henri, and John Butler Yeats: A Portrait of Friendship
Presented by Avis Berman, an independent writer, art historian, and author of Rebels on Eighth Street: Juliana Forceand the Whitney Museum of American Art; James McNeill Whistler and Edward Hopper’s New York.
Understanding how artists consider portraits and the deeper emotional currents that inspire them is especially revealing in the case of American painter and printmaker John Sloan. He could not have matured into the artist that he was without his connection to two other forceful personalities and fellow painters, Robert Henri and John Butler Yeats. The intense, transformative, and intellectual friendships were central to Sloan’s life and work.
Friday, Oct. 30 at 7 p.m.: Passing through Gloucester: John Sloan Between City and Country
Presented by Michael Lobel, Professor of Art History and Director of the Master’s Program in Modern and Contemporary Art, Criticism, and Theory at Purchase College, State University of New York and author of Image Duplicator: Roy Lichtenstein and the Emergence of Pop Art; James Rosenquist: Pop Art, Politics and History in the 1960s; and John Sloan: Drawing on Illustration.
In contrast to the urban setting of John Sloan’s most memorable Ashcan School paintings, the works the artist produced in Gloucester are more pastoral in nature. Sloan’s time in Gloucester overlapped not only with his own political interests but during the era of World War I. Those political considerations will be discussed in how they relate to Sloan’s images of New York and his treatment of Gloucester’s seemingly idyllic scenes.
Tickets for the lecture series are $10 for members and $15 for non-members. For the series, tickets are $25 for members and $40 for non-members. For more information, call 978-283-0455 x10 or email: info@capeannmuseum.org.

Captivating Moments: Music, Dance, and the American Landscape
The exhibit dates: July 1 – 27
Where: Beverly Public Library, 32 Essex St., Beverly, MA 01915
Photographer Thom Adorney of Beverly, MA will have a photography exhibit at the Beverly Public Library during the month of July. The exhibit will feature photographs of artists, such as Angie Miller, Livingston Taylor, Steve James, and Comedian Patty Ross, who have performed at The Cabot Theater, as well as landscapes from across America.
“I love capturing artists in that exquisite moment when they are lost in the act of creating,” says Thom. “There’s a purity in that.”
A New England native, Thom spent 35 years in Colorado and traveling the West. He’s photographed in the canyon lands of Utah and Arizona, the Colorado Rockies, and the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone in Wyoming. “There’s something supernatural about the vast spaces and dramatic landscapes in the West,” he says. “But the North Shore, with it’s rocky coastline, marshes, and towering woods, is no less beautiful. I’m delighted to have a new palette to work from.”
The photographs in the exhibit, as well as those on his website, will be available to purchase, with a portion of the profits being donated to renovating The Cabot Theater. “Volunteering at The Cabot is truly gratifying,” says Thom. “I feel that I am helping re-create a cultural hub for Beverly and the North Shore.”

Receptions for both the Small Works and Associate Members’ Exhibits will be held Sunday, August 23, 1 – 3 pm. Refreshments served. Open and free to the public.
Many giants of the art world including Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Vermeer painted much treasured and highly prized small art works. The appeal of small works is manifold with flexible display options: the work can be clustered in and around other pieces; or placed in tiny, sometimes awkward spaces; or hung in discreet groupings, and easily placed on small easels atop a side table, and often lower price points are also an advantage. The main appeal, however, is to enjoy an intimate and condensed expression of the artist’s focused vision.
Come join the North Shore Arts Association as it celebrates its “Year Of The Artist!” with a Small Works members exhibition and Associate Members Show.

Gallery 53 Artist Demonstration – Second in series Saturday July 18th, 2015 from 1 pm-3 pm
Gallery 53 on Rocky Neck is having their second live-artist demonstration to be held in the gallery on Saturday, July 18th from 1-3 pm. They will be featuring Pam Stratton, mosaic artist. Pam is mostly a self-taught artist but has studied in Ravena, Italy and Spilimbergo, Italy along with many weekend workshops to hone her craft[kb1]. She comments that creating mosaics “Is a deeply focusing activity like a meditation. I enjoy the solid permanence of the materials, their weight, their texture and their history. I often work with stone and glass together as it reflects my surroundings… the granite coast and ever changing sea.”
For the demo Pam will be working on a mosaic and demonstrating the use of the hammer and hardie. She says, “Since antiquity, the most satisfying tools for accurate cutting of glass smalti, stone and marble have been the mosaic hammer and hardie. The hardie is like a chisel mounted in a wooden stump.”
Please come down and see the art of mosaics and talk with Pam as she shows you how it’s done.

Steve Lush: oil and cold wax on linen on birch panel, “Beached” 18×24
Steve Lush: “Through the Fog” oil and cold wax on linen on birch panel, 24×24
Abstracts by Nella Lush: oil and cold wax, “Tramonto” 25×36
Abstracts by Nella Lush: “Untitled”, oil and cold wax, 25×36
“I don’t look for inspiration. Inspiration comes from hard work,” says Nella Lush, whose Italian heritage of family artists, musicians and poets living and working near the Adriatic Sea, has informed her artistic career.
Working on several canvases at once, developing the imagery through a process of surface changes, she constantly explores human history which becomes for her a spiritual and intimate journey. Drawing on her intuition and experience she never follows a formula. She brings together the alchemy of materials, classical forms and the appearance of centuries of aging in all of her work, whether it is an abstract, a fresco, a floral, figurative or marine.
Working in series mainly with oils, cold wax, often with marble dust, Nella plumbs the depths of exhilaration, angst and pure joy in the human experience. Her vibrant visual energy radiates from the canvas stirring our souls to come alive.
Nella is a Signature Member of the American Society of Marine Artists and President of the National Association of Women Artists, MA chapter . A juried member of both the North Shore Arts Association and the Rockport Art Association, her work is held in many private collections around the country.
Steve Lush’s artistic talent energizes his stunning marine art for which he has won many awards including the Winslow Homer Special Merit Award, and two Museum Purchase Awards from Mystic Seaport for their Annual International Maritime Art exhibition. His watercolors have been included in every annual international and regional exhibition of the New England Watercolor Society since 2008, and Steve is a contributing artist with the Coast Guard Art Program. His watercolors are on continuous exhibit at various Coast Guard venues.
Steve shares, “My art has been influenced by my experiences at sea, and the ports I’ve visited. Model shipbuilding has influenced my eye for form while literature of the sea has influenced my taste for individuality. I try to convey emotion, understated activity and contrasting light in my work.” Steve will be including work using oil and cold wax on canvas in this exhibition.
NORTH SHORE ARTS ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES AWARD WINNING CAPE ANN ARTIST, CAROLE LOIACONO, SOLO SHOW, “Reflections of Cape Ann”, Thursday July 2 – Saturday, July 25, Reception Sunday, July 12, 2 – 4pm.
Carole Loiacono: “Beach Play”, o/c, 16×16
Carole Loiacono: “Serene Moment”, o/c, 24×30
Carole Loiacono: “Harbor Sails”, acrylic, 29×17
Carole Loiacono declares, “I’m always in love with Cape Ann!” She is an award winning plein air painter who has fulfilled her dream of living, teaching and painting on Cape Ann for the last 30 years, also following the sun to paint in Tarpon Springs, Florida in the winter months.
Carole works in watercolor, acrylic, pastel, pencil, pen & ink and oils, and can often be seen painting on site throughout Cape Ann and Tarpon Springs. She likes to absorb the feeling of the moment. “Sometimes,” she says, “it takes me in a weird direction which leads me to start with a color I don’t normally use, and let the painting evolve from there.” Often described as a Romantic Impressionist, she likes to exaggerate the moment, the feelings, the experience of the day, pushing the envelope through color and texture. “I’m trying to be a conduit through the painting to convey to the viewer the essence of the moment by experiencing the energy of the scene. If I am able to express some of the feelings of excitement and joy that I experience while painting the beauty of Cape Ann, then I feel I have created a memorable piece of artwork.”
Loiacono earned a B.S. in Art Education from Pratt Institute and has taught art classes in the New York and Long Island school districts. In addition to numerous art show awards she was commissioned to create a 20 panel acrylic series and a 15 panel acrylic series for the Rockland Psychiatric Center in Orangeburg, New York.
