Forum Gallery was founded in New York City in 1961 as a gallery of American figurative art. Forum Gallery was founded in New York City in 1961 by Bella Fishko, as a gallery of American figurative art. Among the first artists represented were Raphael Soyer, Chaim Gross, David Levine and Gregory Gillespie. The gallery is a founding member of the Art Dealers Association of America. From inception, Fo

rum Gallery’s contemporary exhibition program has been augmented by mounting curated, thematic exhibitions of historic importance, in keeping with the gallery’s focus on humanism. Forum Gallery’s program expanded internationally in the 1980’s, and the gallery soon represented the American artists William Beckman and Robert Cottingham as well as the Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum. Today, Forum Gallery represents more than thirty American and European artists and estates, including Chilean born masters Claudio Bravo and Guillermo Muñoz Vera, Spanish realist Cesar Galicia, and Austrian artist Xenia Hausner. American artists whose work is now represented by Forum Gallery include Steven Assael, Linden Frederick, Alan Magee, Alyssa Monks, Clio Newton, Brian Rutenberg and Tula Telfair. Forum Gallery regularly exhibits at art fairs throughout the United States. The gallery exhibited at the inaugural edition of The Art Show (ADAA – Park Avenue Armory) and has since participated twenty times. An early exhibitor at the Chicago International Art Exposition at Navy Pier, Forum now exhibits at ExpoChicago annually. In 2000, Forum Gallery mounted an Odd Nerdrum exhibition at the FIAC in Paris, and today the gallery exhibits regularly at fairs in San Francisco, New York, Miami, Houston, Seattle and Chicago. A service business focused on customer satisfaction, Forum Gallery looks forward to every opportunity to assist collectors, experienced and new.

Forum Gallery is pleased to announce "Michael C. Thorpe - Quilts," a solo exhibition at the California Heritage Museum opening this Saturday, February 1, and continuing through May 4, 2025.

"Quilts" will be the largest exhibition of works by Thorpe to date, featuring more than fifty quilts and a site-specific sculptural installation created for the museum incorporating children’s stuffed animals and canvases featuring appliqued quilted elements.

Thorpe describes himself as a painter working in fabric and thread upon a foundation of drawing which he views as the evolved practice of mark making akin to the stitches of quilt making. His quilted paintings and works on paper explore his surroundings, abstraction, letters and words, sculptural constructions, and performance. The result is a figurative and conceptual art that is as ingenious as it is uniquely contemporary.

Located in the 1894 Historic Landmark Roy Jones House at 2612 Main Street in Santa Monica, the California Heritage Museum is a non-profit community organization that is committed to promoting the diversity and rich history of California’s heritage through exhibitions, lectures, publications and community events.

The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, 11am-4pm. An opening reception will be held at the museum this Saturday, February 1st from 3-5pm.

Born in Richmond, Virginia in 1918 to Russian Jewish immigrants, American artist Bernard Perlin (1918-2014) was a painter, illustrator, and war artist-correspondent whose works expressed the horrors of WWII, issues of social justice, and homosexuality with conviction and bravery.

Early in his career, Perlin lent his artistic talent to the creation of American wartime propaganda and illustration, going on to create throughout his lifetime a body of work that gravitated from social realism to magic realism with subjects as varied as graphic wartime recollections, sensuous male nudes, evocative New York scenes, and works implicit with social comment concerning the plight of minority groups and the poor. He led a life that, in his own words, was “a direct path to making art and seeking human connection.”

Perlin was openly gay at a time when there were real risks involved, both socially and physically, and he pursued his art as he pursued his lovers—unapologetically and with great passion and aplomb. He was active in the gay Greenwich Village scene in the 1950s, living in a small room on Jones Street, and at the center of the Paul Cadmus and Jared and Margaret French circle. He befriended artists, musicians, and personalities including Leonard Bernstein, Grace Hartigan, David Hockney, Lincoln Kirstein, Pavel Tchelitchew, and George Tooker, along with literary figures Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, Arthur Laurents, Glenway Wescott, E. M. Forster, Somerset Maugham, Christopher Isherwood, and Tennessee Williams.

Bernard Perlin’s tempera work, "Hospital Corridor" was commissioned by "Fortune" magazine for an article, “What the Doctor Can’t Order—But You Can” published in the August 1961 issue. Upon examination, the painting is much more than mere illustration, revealing ubiquitous inequities in the hierarchy of the medical world in 1960s America. In this way, Perlin enters his own statement for Civil Rights.

The Artist William Gropper (1897-1977) wrote an article for "The Nation" in the summer of 1937 at the height of the Dust Bowl and second wave of the Great Depression. Using Works Progress Administration funds, Gropper went on a tour around the country to document the resilience of ordinary people living in extraordinary times, facing twin man-made disasters.

In the article, Gropper describes a particularly violent encounter between the Youngstown police and the women workers taking their turn in the truck drivers’ union picket line, some holding children in their arms, “At about nine o’clock in the evening, in front of Gate 5 of the Republic plant, the police got into an argument with the women and ordered them to leave. The women refused, and three shots of tear gas were fired into the crowd…Screams were drowned out by shell fire. Strikers ran in every direction; many of them hurled rocks at the police, others ran to find weapons. More blasts from the police rifles – and then cars full of special police drove by, firing low at the mass of people. Tear bombs were thrown into nearby houses, and women and children came running out with tears in their eyes, choking and looking for a place to hide. The shooting continued until after midnight. According to the next morning’s paper, two were killed and twenty-eight hurt. This was my introduction to Youngstown, the first stop on my trip West.”

Following this tense introduction to the Ohio city, Gropper completed his seminal masterwork, "Youngstown Strike," 1937 (Collection, The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio. Museum Purchase, 1985.) It was around this time period that William Gropper also completed the tondo, "Little Steel," which depicts a violent clash of uniformed police with union strikers. The swirling composition of figures with upraised fists and billy clubs, is an undulating melee resembling a dance of protest and aggression.

Jack Levine’s (1915-2010) social satire reflected the frustrations and injustices of the 1930s. Many of his best paintings embodied his hatred of war, inequality and the hypocritical aspects of our society, thereby securing his position as one of America’s greatest Social Realists. He painted "The Card Players" before being drafted into the army during World War II in 1942. It depicts a group of four balding and rotund men around a table, each puffing away on a cigar as they play a game. Their cartoonishly enlarged heads fill the composition. Levine wrote about his work from this decade in a monograph dedicated to his work published in 1989: “I divide the ‘40s, as most people would, into pre-war and post-war. My pre-war paintings were for the most part a continuation of what I’d established for myself during the ’30s in terms of style and subject matter…A youthful kind of drama calmly expressed became more exacerbated and a frenzy set in. And of course the war seemed to me a little bit apocalyptic – to put it mildly.”

Moving to the Alan Gallery in 1953, Levine began work on "1932 (In Memory of George Grosz)," one of a small number of works relating to Na**sm. In this large format canvas, Jack Levine took this episode from history and invested it with theatrical drama, inviting the viewer to witness the chilling picture of Hi**er bowing to Hindenburg as he assumes power. Levine dedicated the painting to George Grosz who in his lifetime was labeled “degenerate” by the N***s and who had just died the same year the painting was completed. "1932" became the centerpiece of his next exhibition at Alan Gallery in December, 1959 where it was purchased by the award-winning author and screenwriter, Dalton Trumbo.

Born in Durham, NC in 1938, Ernie Barnes is known for his paintings of Southern life in which he animates the lyricism of the human body at sport, work, and play depicting Black Joy as a space of beauty and resistance. By instilling his canvases with positivity, celebration and pride, Barnes imparts a principled defiant message accessible to all. His neo-mannerist style was influenced by Italian masters and 20th century American artists including Thomas Hart Benton, Andrew Wyeth and Charles White. Barnes’ work first became well known in popular culture after it was featured on the cover of Marvin Gaye’s 1976 album “I Want You” and in the credits of the groundbreaking television series “Good Times.”

In 1996, the National Basketball Association commissioned Barnes to create a work for its 50th Anniversary on the theme “Where we were, where we are, and where we are going.” Barnes’ answer to the challenge was "The Dream Unfolds" which hangs in the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA. The graphite and acrylic work, "Study for The Dream Unfolds," was created in preparation for the commission, and features the last names of notable NBA players, such as Elgin Baylor, Julius Erving, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan. It is signed lower right and inscribed “Study: For NBA”.

“No Time for Church” was completed at the time Barnes’ series “The Beauty of the Ghetto” embarked on a seven-year tour of major American cities hosted by dignitaries, athletes and celebrities. The series, made in response to the Black is Beautiful movement of the 1960s, focused on the beauty and joy of mid-century Black Southern life at a time when work by Black artists was often dismissed by institutions and underrepresented in public collections.

Philip Evergood completed "M.T. Florinsky, D.S. Mirsky, and the Pidget," in the summer of 1928, a year after the Artist’s first solo exhibition at the Dudensing Galleries in New York. The subjects of this work are two prominent scholars and authors of Russian history. D.S. Mirsky wrote several books on history and literary criticism including the "History of Russian Literature" (1926) and "The Intelligentsia of Great Britain" (1935). Dr. Florinsky wrote more than a dozen books, including the notable two volume publication, involving a decade of research, "Russia: A History and An Interpretation," 1953.

Evergood painted this fanciful double portrait of the two men while upstate in Woodstock, and it is viewed by critics as a departure from his early work which showed the heavy influence of El Greco and Cézanne. John Baur, who joined the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1952 becoming director in 1960, described this painting in the monograph Philip Evergood, published by Abrams in 1975:

“The two Russian emigres, so different in appearance and…in their views, sit on a magic carpet, while behind them are spread the symbols of their past in imperial Russia. Among other things, they are discussing a dream of Florinsky’s in which he encountered a strange animal, half pigeon, half rabbit. While they are talking, the Pidget himself materializes and joins the conversation. Although the picture was enlarged at a much later date, and the feet then added, the central portion remains virtually unchanged and shows that naïve directness of drawing and characterization that was to become a hallmark of Evergood’s mature work. The fantasy of the whole concept also forecasts another element in his art which was not to develop fully for several years…”

Winfred Rembert was born in 1945 in Americus, Georgia. Painted on carved and tooled leather, his art displays memories of the Artist’s youth and Black life in the Jim Crow South.

In his Pulitzer Prize winning autobiography “Chasing me to my Grave: An Artist's Memoir of the Jim Crow South,” Winfred Rembert recalls running away from home as a young teenager. He left his great-aunt, “Mama,” and the cotton fields for Hamilton Avenue, an area of downtown Cuthbert, Georgia populated with Black-owned businesses. Winfred soon made friends with a kid his age named “Duck” who introduced him to the owner of Jeff’s Café & Pool Room and Zeb’s Shoe Shine down the street. Jeff took to Winfred right away and offered him work running the poolroom and a bed to sleep in, away from the hard labor of the cotton fields.

Witness to the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement as a teenager, Rembert attended a peaceful protest in 1965 and was attacked by White antagonists. He fled the assailants by stealing a car, leading to his arrest for theft. Rembert spent two years incarcerated while awaiting charges before escaping from jail in 1967. He was caught by the police and released to an awaiting mob of White men. Surviving the near lynching, Rembert was thrown in jail for the next seven years and transferred to multiple penitentiaries within the Georgia prison system, enduring taxing physical labor while working on various chain gangs.

In 2011, Rembert was the subject of an award-winning documentary film, “All Me: The Life and Times of Winfred Rembert,” by Vivian Ducat, and was honored by Bryan Stevenson's Equal Justice Initiative in 2015.

Spanish artist César Galicia (b. 1957) is celebrated for his illuminating renderings of what are seemingly ordinary objects. In "Telephone," César Galicia returns to a subject that has captured his fascination since the 1980s. The wall-mounted payphone with its rotary dial and wired tether, has ceased to be a device for communication and seems more of an ancient artifact to be admired for its strange beauty. Galicia’s Telephone becomes an object of reverence and an icon of a century that witnessed technological development like none other before it.

Davis Cone (b. 1950) grew up in small-town America during a time when regularly attending movies at the local theater had not yet been eclipsed by television, sporting events, and other newfound national pastimes. The focalized theater, not the sprawling shopping mall, was Twentieth-century America’s secular meeting place, just as the “piazza” (town square) continues to represent such a venue in old-world European towns. The painting “Forum” depicts the Forum Theatre at 314 Main Street in Metuchen, New Jersey, which opened in 1928 as both a vaudeville and movie theater.

"Clothcraft Clothes, Cleveland, Ohio," by Anthony Mitri (b. 1951) depicts the building which, in 1900, housed the Goldsmith, Joseph, & Feiss Company, once the largest clothing factory in the United States. The building depicted in the drawing is the Clothcraft Clothes factory, located on the near west side of Cleveland. Much of the factory’s building complex has been demolished. The three-story warehouse and 200-foot brick smokestack depicted in the drawing are all that remains today.

12/04/2024

George Grosz (1893-1959) was an ideologically committed artist, an agitator who used his art as a weapon in the convulsed Germany of the early twentieth century. His caustic, caricatured studies of corrupt officers, war profiteers, exploitative industrialists and prostitutes led to his persecution by the German government. He was declared an “Enemy of the State” by the N**i regime, and his works were confiscated from the German museums. In January 1933 following Hi**er’s election into power, Grosz emigrated to the US and became a citizen in 1938. He remained in the U.S. and returned to Berlin one month before his death in 1959. Today, there is a permanent museum for his work in Berlin, and he is revered as one of the greatest of German artists of the period, including Max Beckmann and Otto Dix.

"1932 (In Memory of George Grosz)" is one of a small number of works by Jack Levine (1915-2010) relating to Na**sm. When asked about these works Levine remarked, “I think an artist should paint his life…and I am a social realist painter to the degree that society or the body politic impinges on my life…” In this large format canvas, Jack Levine took this episode from history and invested it with theatrical drama, inviting the viewer to witness the chilling picture of Hi**er bowing to Hindenburg as he assumes power. About the dedication, Levine said: “George Grosz, who was one of the few 20th century artists who I admired, had just died; and as he had frequently chosen to attack the perversity of German fascism through his art, I thought it would be a fitting tribute.”

11/20/2024

Ben Shahn (1898 - 1969) is recognized as one of the leading social realists of the twentieth century whose art consistently displayed great empathy for those affected by social and criminal injustices. His paintings created during World War II expressed a new mode of perception. Shahn noted that these expressions were “much more private and more inward-looking. A symbolism which I might once have considered cryptic now became the only means by which I could formulate the sense of emptiness and waste that the war gave me, and the sense of the littleness of people trying to live on through the enormity of war.” Created in 1945, his art’s anti-war sentiment is reflected in "Death on the Beach," related to "Pacific Landscape," a large-scale tempera work in the collection of MoMA, New York, created by the Artist that same year.

Joining Shahn in "Twentieth Century Stories" are evocations of the profound anxiety, personal loss and psychic devastation of war by Raphael Soyer, Bernard Perlin, Käthe Kollwitz, and Gregory Gillespie. Alternating between compassionate and shocking, the works on view grapple with the violence and human loss that inevitably accompany war.
