Vineyard in November

A rare collaboration between Harlem Renaissance artists Norman Lewis and Augusta Savage, called The Hubert Log Cabin, is coming up for auction from the Swann Gallery in New York on Oct. 6.
The featured artist this week, August 25 through 31, at Dragonfly Gallery in Oak Bluffs is Karen Tusinski.
Ms. Tusinski’s work focuses on the many ways one can look at a single item. For example, the depiction of an ordinary table or flower arrangement, examined from several angles, then comes together as a single image while still retaining the multiple perspectives. She does this does this by illuminating the shapes and colors that represent each of these angles.
