Meet the artists:
Saturday, November 26, 2011 5-9 pm
Rising New York artist, Eddie Rehm, and surprising new-comer Emanuel Buckvar will be featured at Davenport and Shapiro Fine Arts in an exhibition of cutting-edge contemporary art in its East Gallery through the end of December.
“We are committed to bringing our clients high quality, but reasonably priced, investment grade art, not limited to one period. We feel both artists’ work is on-the-cusp,” says co-owner Howard Shapiro. “We were intrigued to exhibit these two artists with distinct styles, one almost disturbingly energetic with his “Instant Gratification Abstract”, and the other … calming, for his now almost classical allusions to the AbEx tradition,” says his partner, Leonard Davenport, “Both artists call Long Island home, but,” says Shapiro, “they have a raw, uncensored New York City feel.”

Babcock Galleries is proud to present Edwin Dickinson In Retrospect—the gallery’s 6th solo exhibition dedicated to the artist. This show surveys Dickinson’s paintings from 1911 to 1955, exploring his stylistic innovations from the 1920′s through the 1940s, which attracted the attention and admiration of the likes of Willem de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, and Jack Tworkov.
Elaine de Kooning described Dickinson as “a great artist [who] reconciles poetry with perspective.” His visual innovations and the technical fluency had significant currency with the Abstract Expressionists. He regularly accepted invitations in the 1950s to exhibit with them at the Stable Gallery, but the romantic and representational elements of his artwork continued to defy the boundaries of any single art movement. Dickinson remained an independent visionary painter, and from the 1920s through the 1970s was among the most respected and prominent artists in America.
