Three 'scapes
"Neponset Bay October," by Boston-area painter Joseph Fontinha, in the show “Personal Territories,’’ at Fountain Street Fine Art, Boston, through Nov. 2
The gallery says:
“{The late} Robert Hughes, the fearless art critic some are calling the greatest of our time, once said that ‘Landscape is to American painting what sex and psychoanalysis are to the American novel.’
“Artists in this exhibition focus on three themes that have occupied each of them for a while: the city, the distant landscape, and the lush garden. This collection explores how each theme is distinctly different, exploring emotional ranges of a wildly divergent temperament, while simultaneously unifying them through the language of paint.’’
Besides Mr. Fontinha, the artists in the show are: Jim Banks, Brenda Cirioni, John J. Daly, Catherine Gibbs, Nan Hass Feldman, Chris Plunkett and Marcia Wise.
