Marc Chagall, La Caleche Fantastique (Fantastic Horse Cart), 1949Gouache and pastel on paper, 23.25 x 18.12 inchesBlanden Art Museum, Gift of Ann R. Smeltzer Marc Chagall © 2012 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris.

July 21 through November 4, 2012

A TREASURE HOUSE OF MARCCHAGALL’S ART, INCLUDING FIRSTLOCAL SHOWING OF HIS BIBLESERIES OF HAND-COLOREDETCHINGS

Throughout a long and distinguished

career, Marc Chagall incorporated

facets of his early Russian-Jewish

heritage into multilayered works. His

storytelling paintings portray a fantastic

world where people and animals float

upside down or sideways, irrespective of

the laws of gravity, and couples are

always in love. Chagall’s brilliantly-

colored memories of family and village

life are set amidst the houses and

streets of his native Vitebsk. MarcChagall is a major exhibition which

features significant paintings and a large

selection from Chagall’s 1957 hand-

colored etchings of Bible stories, never

before been seen on Long Island. The

exhibition is supported by the Saltzman

Family Foundation and The David Berg

Foundation.

CONTEMPORARYCOLLECTORS CIRCLE

Sydney Chastain-Chapman & Julie TremblayJuly 21 through November 4, 2012

Julie Tremblay and Sydney Chastain-Chapman are New York artists whose work

has been seen in solo and group exhibitions in North America and Europe.

Tremblay’s life-sized sculptures are created from discarded industrial materials

that allow the viewer to look within the work, making the inside as important as

the outside. Working in a flat, representational style, Chastain-Chapman’s work

uses vibrant hues to depict the figures and settings of her paintings. This

exhibition is organized for the Contemporary Collectors Circle by Elaine Berger.

The elegant setting for Alive with Color, the 2012 Museum Ball, was the spectacular Gold Coast mansion, Oheka Castle.

Congratulations and sincere thanks to Ball Honoree Robert A. Isaksen, President, Long Island, Bank of America and to Ball

Co-Chairs Angela Susan Anton and Lisa Eastman and Journal Co-Chairs Lorraine Aycock of Bank of America and Jill B. Kremer

Thank YouIn honor of the 2012 Museum Ball,

Ambalu Jewelers, the sparkling East

Hills emporium, hosted an evening of

socializing and shopping to benefit the

museum. Twenty percent of all

purchases were donated to the

museum. Iman Bridal Couture

contributed magnificent evening wear

and Atelier Hair Salon did hair and

make-up for the Iman models. The

grateful to Jacob and Esther Ambalu for

how much training museum docents

undergo prior to offering those informative

gallery talks that add so much to the

appreciation of our exhibitions. Our most

recent graduating class of eight docents

completed an extensive program that spanned two exhibitions and six months.

Shown at graduation are Glenna Kubit, Stephanie Freese, Linda Schwartz, Kavita

Gonsalves, Ricki Miller, Kathryn Tully and Irene Grossman (not pictured, Florence

Wohl). Docent training is offered each fall; for information contact Director of

EDUCATION Autism & the ArtsAutism & the Arts is a studio based program that offers young people on the autism

spectrum innovative explorations in painting, drawing, and sculpture focused on the

development of artistic style and voice. Activities are designed to inspire creativity

and motivate communication, and many classes include group art-making activities

that support participants with peer interaction. This program is made possible

through generous funding through the North Shore Autism Circle.

Glen CoveKindergarteners VisitDine ExhibitFor students at Glen Cove’s Deasy

School, a visit to the museum started in

their own kindergarten classroom when

Senior Museum Educator Jean

Henning came to talk about the

museum and the current exhibitions.

Upon arrival at the museum, Director

of Education Laura Lynch led a tour of

the Jim Dine exhibition. What they saw

on the tour became the inspiration for

their participation in a hands-on art

workshop that followed in which they

created their own responses to the art

on view. Deasy School’s collaboration

with the museum was funded by the

New York State Council on the Arts
