5/31/2006 - The Hayward Arts Council in Collaboration with Sun Gallery - Hayward Area Forum of the Arts Presents the Exhibit:
PATHS OF LIFE / PASSOS DA VIDA
THE LANDSCAPES / AS PAISAGENS
See select Landscapes by Portuguese-American artist João de Brito. Some of these paintings form part of the larger Paths of Life, featuring the works of this internationally recognized en plein aire artist, whose influences include great Fauvists such as Matisse and Derain, as well as the Early California Impressionists.
Pronvincetown, Mass. art reviewer Jan Kelly has called João’s work “cerebral and sanguine,” and in Historic Roswell, Georgia, Lola Art Gallery’s Kristy Wegert says his art contains “hues (of color) you never thought imaginable.” The paintings capture the spirit of hope that the artist himself radiates. See his work in person to experience the full effect!
