Excerpts from one of the reviews of #LibbieMark’s

Excerpts from one of the reviews of #LibbieMark’s summer 1962 solo exhibition at Knapik Gallery in New York, possibly describing this beautiful rich red collage painting:“Chromatic variations of reds and pinks interweave, revealing minor color shocks and the mottled texture of dulled silver foil...Considering the technique used in many of these collages, Miss [sic] Mark’s spontaneity is all the more remarkable. With a foundation of acrylic paint, varied types of tissue-thin paper are glued onto a gessoed masonite board to form interesting transparencies of color and texture. These paintings are assuredly the work of a mature, imaginative, and dynamic artist.” -Jane Jaffe, Manhattan East (May 4, 1962)“AT&T,” 1961. 28 x 40 in. paint and collage with silver leaf on canvas. LMPF Inv. No. 01DG, Private Collection. (Libbie’s family says the title means “After Titian and Tintoretto”! )Swipe for a detail of the silver leaf and the full review.

Our last Provincetown post. Just as #LibbieMark li

Our last Provincetown post. Just as #LibbieMark likely looked at her contemporaries when she spent her summers painting here, we visited a couple galleries exhibiting art made in this current time. One of our favorites is @TheSchoolhouseGallery. They always have a great selection of interesting work in a variety of media. Standouts on this visit were Jeff Leake and Kahn & Selesnick. Both play with mixing up subjects from range of time periods or referencing historical events or media.@JeffJamesLeake’s shaped panel paintings’ imagery pull from art history, world history, surrealism, zoology, suburban/domestic/consumer culture, and on and on. Hunt around for the tiny weird and anachronistic details in these paintings!@KahnSelesnick’s installation and book feature the theme of “The Arch,” with AI imagery pulled from and inspired by historical illustrations. From the gallery statement: “... they construct a joint silicon- and carbon-based dream life from the low information epoch of the Northern and Southern renaissances hoping to both embrace and push back against the extreme flood of content that bombard our brains at every waking moment.”In the Stanley exhibition space behind Schoolhouse, a temporary pop-up generated by @Twenty_Summers and @LaMontagne_Gallery show a range of work from historic to contemporary. Highlights include 98-year old @SalvatoreDelDeo, with @DanielRanalli_Studio, @TabithaVeversStudio, @EstebanDelValle112, and @Joe_Wardwell. Swipe for images in that order (I borrowed the Vever’s image from the gallery website, somehow my pictures disappeared!).It is clear why Libbie thought Provincetown was such a draw, now, as in the 50s and 60s, it is so full of art and artists as well as enough color, texture, and environment to inspire any creator.

This weekend in Provincetown we also paid a visit

This weekend in Provincetown we also paid a visit to the Provincetown Art Association Museum, a very important institution here on the Cape. Amazing CEO and curator Chris McCarthy took the time to walk us through a couple of the shows, including the huge and very diverse Members 12 x 12; there is definitely something here for everyone! Bidding is open through September 13 online via their website: https://e.givesmart.com/events/PNV/ All of the works are 12 x 12” so you can find a place to fit one of these in your house!Sharing here some paintings from another show at the @PAAM1914 museum – “Marcia Marcus: Strange and Clear”. Standouts for me were three of her self portraits, in which she depicted herself in strong poses, locking eyes with the viewer and standing against a historic landmark or architectural background: the Parthenon, Stonehenge, and what seems to reference a villa in Pompeii. Marcus (1928–2025) was based in NYC and then also in Provincetown beginning in 1952, just a few years before Libbie started her yearly summer trips to this important artist colony in 1957. Interestingly, Marcus kept to a figurative style, not following other abstractionists of the 50s. The exhibition also has a few cases with ephemera, including photographs by Marcus, a few shown here.Recognizing important women painters with solo exhibitions is something that PAAM does often and well… to list only a few others from the past: #HelenFrankenthaler, Blanche Lazelle, Mira Schor, and Ann Purcell. (@apurcell2001 also had a solo exhibition at Berry Campbell in June, the tandem show to #LibbieMark’s second solo show at the gallery.) Go see the Marcus show before it comes down on August 30!Click link in bio to read more about Libbie and the Libbie Mark Provincetown Fund.

We are visiting Provincetown this week, following

We are visiting Provincetown this week, following in #LibbieMark’s footsteps. She painted here every summer here from 1957 to 1971, the first one of which was spent studying with #HansHofmann.We can assume Libbie also spent time looking at other artists work while she lived and made her textural collage paintings in this creative environment.We visited @BakkerGallery the other day which, unusual for them, displayed one artist’s work throughout the entire space: William H. Littlefield (1902–1969). Libbie’s contemporary (she was born in 1905 and died in 1972), Littlefield’s style changed multiple times during his long art making life, but I was mainly drawn to his abstract expressionist works from the 1950s. Who would’ve guessed?! 😂All the works here had a really interesting odd and subdued palette (in a good way!), especially compared to most of Libbie‘s more saturated works. I was also drawn to Littlefield’s painted patterns within his abstract compositions. Please swipe to see a few of these works, including a couple pattern detail shots. The last painting is on carved wood, and it is double-sided. It gas a loop on the top of the frame, presumably so you can hang it and flip sides. Sorry for the terrible photo through the window! Sharing some informative texts in the last photos.“William H. Littlefield: An Anniversary Retrospective” through September 7, 2026 at Bakker Gallery and Auctions, Provincetown.Click link in bio to read more about Libbie and the Libbie Mark Provincetown Fund.
