About the September 2013 Calendar
“E. A. POE” by Rebecca VennThe ++ of Falling in Love — Guest curator for September, Claudia Seymour, former president of the Salmagundi Club, selected the September Curators’ Choice nominees for the Best-of-the-Rest calendar. Barebrush publishes three calendars per month. This all non-nude genre, all media calendar is growing in popularity with both the traditional figurative artists and nude art photographers. Each calendar is an opportunity for Barebrush artists to showcase the depth and breadth of their work.
“”Valley Stream Picnic”” by Pacifico PalumboMs. Seymour selected a sparkling watercolor, Formentera Terrace, by the late Jacqui Morgan of New York City to appear on September 1. Ms. Seymour also chose: a watercolor portrait, E. A. Poe by Rebecca Venn of Kenosha WI; and and oil painting,Valley Stream Picnic by Pacifico Palumbo of Colrain, MA.
Jacqui Morgan (1939-2013) was a superlative watercolor artist, author and a popular Illustration Department professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in NYC since 2000 and was noted for her flagship course IL 126 Watercolor Compositions. A memorial is scheduled for Sept 19 at FIT.
