Kinda late but i went to the mishkin gallery today. The gallery mostly had paintings done by Mercedes Matter, who was the daughter of a famous painter Arthur Beecher Carles. One of her notable mentors was Hans Hoffman.
Her paintings in the gallery were mostly untitled still lifes. One of the paintings that were actually titled was called “Sea and Harbor” and although it was simple, her point was to convey the feeling of being in the harbor in Provincetown. Another one of her paintings that stood out to me was the one made with a bunch of triangles. The triangles formed a table with a bunch of fruits on it. I thought it was interesting how she could paint something like that just from using a simple geometric shape and an assortment of colors.
I also saw two other self portraits but wasnt sure if they belonged to her or not. The gallery itself was pretty small but it was cozy. The tour only took about fifteen minutes but its interesting to visit an art gallery because I rarely go to see one.
