Cape Cod

Landscape=Still Life
until June 20, 2004
Cape Museum of Fine Arts

Composition is the key element in an exciting exhibition currently on display at the Cape Museum of Fine Arts.

Curator Michael Giaquinto explains "When you view these paintings, keep in mind the composition. The first thing an artist does is orchestrate or compose the subject matter, arranging objects of different sizes against each other to form a single composition. The same approach is applied to setting up a still life as well as a landscape."

Cape Cod Artists featured in this exhibition include Howard Gibbs, Thomas T. Eastwood and Marion Hawthorne.

Richard Jolley: Sculptor of Glass explores twenty years of the artist's style, innovation and influences.

Richard Jolley employs a wide range approach using different materials and styles, a hallmark of his true independent nature.
