ACA Galleries in Chelsea will bring “Vignettes: Where Two Roads Meet,” a show of paintings and drawings from the 19th century to the present, to Ashawagh Hall in Springs Friday through Monday from 10 to 6. A reception will be held Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.
“Vignettes” will include works by Milton Avery, Arthur B. Davies, E.M. Bannister, Romare Bearden, John Marin, Henry Ossawa Tanner, Balcomb Greene, and Doowon Lee, among others.
One of the highlights is a seascape from 1876 by Tanner, the first African American artist to achieve an international reputation. Avery is represented by "Girl With Teacup" (1952), a work from his mature period, while Marin's watercolor "Late Summer, Castorland, New York" dates from 1913, the year of the first Armory Show.
Greene's "Rough Weather" (1969) was created during the years he maintained a studio in Montauk, where he lived until his death in 1990. Lee is a self-taught contemporary Korean artist whose paintings incorporate natural fibers gathered during his travels in Asia.
