March 2, 1946
On March 2, the Art School of the Brooklyn Museum opened an exhibition of paintings, drawings, and water colors by members of the Saturday Painting Groups, classes without instruction. The exhibition will run until March 16. The Art School Gallery is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Mr. William Penkalo, a member of the class, has described the exhibition as follows:
Each Saturday artists meet in the Brooklyn Museum Art School to paint from the nude and from models in costume. They paint as they please and are stimulated by the techniques and ideas of others in the group. Some of the pictures in this exhibition are the results of these studies. Others are motivated by the events and emotions in our lives. Most of us earn our living during the week--we look forward with eagerness to these weekends of painting.
Among the artists represented in this exhibition are Milton Harris, Rae Harris, Jean Harris, Henri Oren, William Penkalo, Henry Tietjen, Lizzie M. Palmer, John Atkins, John Wilson, Janet Lorentz, Helen Drogaris, A. Belair, Eugene M. Krameroff, and Marion T. Cronk.
