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.

"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 -
