About the Item
Alarms, Rims,Tint is part of Marano's FLAT FIX series-
Hand cut paper on heavy weight gessoed watercolor paper, framed in flat gray painted wood & plexi.
Ms. Marano is a daughter of Brooklyn. She holds a BFA from Pratt Institute, is an intimate of the visual poetry of Coney Island, created the winning poster for the first Spirit of Brooklyn poster competition, and is a master of papier collé, the elegant cut paper technique she learned as a studio assistant to preeminent artist Robert Indiana.
Her series, FLAT FIX elevates the often un-noticed gritty tire shops she has discovered during her walks through a bleak industrial area to her Brooklyn studio. "They suddenly stood out like little carnivals, red and yellow cones and signs, tumbledown but full of interesting graphics. I rendered them with as few forms as possible leaving the viewer's eyes to complete the scene."
There are 12 images in the FLAT FIX series.
Marano’s acclaimed series, “American- Dream-Land,” a decades-spanning project of papier collé originals and limited edition prints, penetrates the soul of Coney Island to reveal its twin promises of candy-colored paradise and gritty raw excitement.
Her work has been exhibited by Tabla Rasa Gallery, ACA Galleries NY, by Prince Street Gallery NY, Smart Clothes Gallery NY, the Municipal Art Society, the Museum of the City of New York, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, and the Coney Island Museum among others in the New York area and at the George Krevsky Gallery in San Francisco and also at the DeLand Museum of Art in Florida. Her work is represented in private, corporate and museum collections including the Brooklyn Museum.
“American Dream-Land” and Marano’s work as a co-founder (with artist Richard Eagan) of the Coney Island Hysterical Society were featured in Charles Denson’s award-winning book “Coney Island Lost and Found” (Ten Speed Press, Berkeley/Toronto, 2002). Additional publications featuring Marano and “American Dream-Land” include Amusing the Zillion, 24/7 Magazine, the New York Times, the Daily News and others.
Her current work expands into the larger city, exposing elements of urban life: the underappreciated grace of an out-of-the-way tire shop; the disquieting lure of an exit sign at night. In addition to creating papier collé images for this examination of the city’s overlooked beauty, she is also working on a cut-paper animation, “Take Me There,” a fantasy inspired by both her early train rides to Coney Island and a proposal for the Franklin Avenue subway. The ”Take Me There” trailer is posted for viewing on You Tube.

Philomena Marano
Philomena was raised in Brooklyn, just a stone’s throw from America’s most famous amusement park, Coney Island. She is most known for cut paper collage and limited edition prints in her acclaimed collection, “American-Dream-Land” in which she depicts both personal and universal themes in the rides, signs and attractions of her childhood playground. In 2017 , a move to Florida shifted her attention to the circus thrill shows of Sarasota. The precision, exhilaration and wonder embedded in the spectacle of these performances were a definite reminder of the fun and danger of the wondrous mechanical constructions in Coney Island; a continuity of earlier sensibilities. She acquired and honed her cut paper skills while working as an assistant to preeminent artist Robert Indiana in his New York studio on a prodigious cut paper project rendering set and costume designs for “The Mother of Us All”, Santa Fe Opera. In 2020, she was invited to give artist talks at the MFA St. Pete’s, FL. on her experiences working on the project in an exhibition titled: Art of the Stage: Picasso to Hockney where many of Indiana’s stage designs from “Mother” were displayed. Marano is co-founder of the Coney Island Hysterical Society, earned a BFA from Pratt Institute , and has been included in numerous galleries including Tabla Rasa Gallery, Brooklyn ,NY, ACA Gallery, NY, New York, Deutsche Bank, NY, New York, The DeLand Museum of Art, FL., Ringling College of Art & Design, Sarasota, FL., and the Art Center Sarasota.
Her work is featured in Charles Denson’s book, “Coney Island, Lost and Found,”
Ten Speed Press, 2002, SRQ magazine, 2021 , Luxe Interior + Design, 2021, Between 2Two Shores, a UK based Literary & Art publication, 2021, among others
and is in many private and corporate collections including the Brooklyn Museum.

View AllReader, oversize drawing of young woman reading, minimal color
By Audrey Anastasi
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This work was intentionally torn and mended. It predates the artist's full immersion, years later into torn and re-pasted collages, using ripped previous drawings and paper-based materials from media. These recently discovered 1984 oversize drawings on archival papers were created working quickly, from a live model. The series shows the last existing observational drawings prior to the artist's switch to working with her non- dominant left hand.
As a feminist, Anastasi's main focus is presenting other women. Unlike the often objectified male gaze...

MODERNIST DRAWING New Hope Mid-Century WPA Abstract Non-Objective Jazz Modern
By Ramstonev (Ramsey/Stone/Evans co-operative)
Located in New York, NY
MODERNIST DRAWING New Hope Mid-Century WPA Abstract Non-Objective Jazz Modern. Signed with a "Ramstonev" stamp lower right.
RAMSTONEV Cooperative Art Project (1937-1939). In the late 1930s, Charles Ramsey became close friends with Charles Evans and Louis Stone. He persuaded them to join him teaching his New Hope summer classes in non-objective painting. Soon, a history-making collaboration began. In 1937, meeting in Evans' studio at the rear of Cryer's Hardware store on Main Street in New Hope, a decision was made to establish the Co-Operative Painting Project. They were intrigued by the cooperative ad-lib process by which jazz musicians created their music. Believing this to be the quintessential American contribution to music, they theorized that a similar result might be obtainable with art, a "visual jam session." This particlarly fascinated Ramsey, who was a jazz buff and had a large collection of jazz records.
The objective was to jointly collaborate in the creation of a painting as well as applying collective criticism during its creation. By creating forward movement by general consent, they believed they could produce a higher level of beauty. By consensus it was decided that subject matter would be non-objective. Up to eight people would participate and stop when the painting "felt" finished by common agreement.
These co-operative works were done in several different mediums- the majority in pastel, but some in watercolor, gouache, graphite or cut paper collage. On occasion, the group would create a series, as opposed to a single work, created in steps by three or four artists. One of the occasional participants was famed New Hope poet, Stanley Kunitz. These series could range in number from four to sixteen paintings in each. The first of a series would be very basic and the last a fully finished work.
In the scope of importance among the New Hope Modernist...
