Philomena Marano More Art
American, b. 1952
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.to

Original Vintage Syndicated Ink Drawing Cartoon Strip Susie Q Smith Comic Art

SUSIE Q. SMITH
Medium: Newspaper comics
Distributed by: King Features Syndicate
First Appeared: 1945
Creators: Linda and Jerry Walter
6.5 X 18
Like her contemporaries, Aggie Mack, Candy and Patsy Walker (before her conversion to a superhero), Susie Q. Smith was a female Archie-type — not exactly an imitator, because Archie, who had started only four years earlier, hadn't yet become popular enough to spawn imitators, but part of his genre. She attended high school, where her teachers often seemed unreasonable to her, interacted with the opposite gender in a typically adolescent way, and her parents didn't completely understand her. And she was cute and perky as only a teenage girl can be.
Susie was the star of a comic strip distributed by King Features, the biggest of the comic strip syndicates, whose other offerings have ranged from Jackys Diary to Prince Valiant...

John Glick Plum Tree Pottery , Stoneware Mug, Deep Earth Tones, Glazed
Located in Detroit, MI
“Untitled” ceramic, is an example of the kind of work by which John Glick became so famous. He was seduced by the effects of the reduction kiln, which decreased the levels of oxygen during firing, inducing the flame to pull oxygen out of the clay and glazes changing the colors of the glazes depending on their iron and copper content. In this way he achieved the rich gradients of ochre and umber and variations in stippling and opacity.
This piece is signed on the bottom and can be found on page 129, plate #236 in “John Glick: A Legacy in Clay.”
John was an American Abstract Expressionist ceramicist born in Detroit, MI. Though open to artistic experimentation, Glick was most influenced by the styles and aesthetics of Asian pottery—an inspiration that shows in his use of decorative patterns and glaze choices. He has said that he is attracted to simplicity, as well as complexity: my work continually reflects my re-examination that these two poles can coexist… or not, in a given series. Glick also took influences from master potters of Japan, notably Shoji Hamada and Kanjrio Kawai, blending their gestural embellishments of simple forms with attitudes of Abstract Expressionism. He was particularly drown to the work of Helen Frankenthaler whose soak-stain style resonated with Glick’s multi-layered glaze surfaces, which juxtaposed veils of atmospheric color with gestural marks and pattern. He spent countless hours developing and making his own tools in order to achieve previously unseen results in his work with clay and glaze.
