The Work of Wolf Kahn at Surovek Gallery
September 21, 2023 Kahn’s beautiful landscapes of the views around their summer home in Brattleboro, Vermont are full of magnificent colors and a sense of serenity. Ironically, Kahn completed them in his Manhattan studio, above the noise and bustle of the city. "The environment in which my paintings grow best is at Broadway and 12th Street." he said. "I can see nature most clearly in my studio, undistracted by trees and skies. Art being emotion recollected in tranquility, I constantly find Nature too emotional, and Broadway very tranquil.” Read more -

Maurice Utrillo at Surovek Gallery
July 20, 2023 Maurice Utrillo (1883-1955) has an incredibly interesting history. His serene paintings of Montmartre, where he was born and lived, belie the turbulence of his life. Utrillo’s mother was artist Suzanne Valadon (1865-1938), whose own story is also remarkable. Valadon was the daughter of a poor, single mother. She began working at the age of 11. At age 15 she got a job with the circus, as a trapeze artist, but that career was cut short when she fell from a trapeze and injured her back. Read more -
