Suzanne Reese Horvitz Paintings

I try to evoke the mind of a dreamer to explore my memories and interests then invite the viewer into my dream. I tease the viewers interest with symbols and codes of beauty and hope they will come along with me. Stories of the extraordinary fascinate me, including hybrid creatures of folklore, sirens, mermaids, and arthropods. I use Myths such as: The Sirens’ story as a metaphor for the Allure of Beauty and its dangers. My love of words and the narrative in art, often leads me to design my work as book pieces, and to use my art to create my personal visual journal. Through my art, I examine myself, my relationship with the things that excite me, and create a record of my life’s journey. “Water is our planet’s life blood, rivers its blood vessels.” Our Earth is experiencing a crisis of global warming, shortages of water in some places and floods in other. We humans understand how everything on earth is connected, as in the theory of Gaia. Often, however, we have a conflict of interest between what benefits us personally and what benefits us communally. I use the world of arthropods as a metaphor because of their innate ability to cooperate. Insects have learned to form a system of interacting elements. Many share a common goal: the survival of the colony. To solve the world’s problems, our first step must be to learn that the community comes before our individual needs.

A Magnificent Gilt Wood Mirrored Frame

Located in New York, NY

Provenance: Private Collection, Argentina; there acquired by Mr. and Mrs. Ernest T. Harper, New York, by 1960; by descent to: Mr. and Mrs. Alan Harper, New York, until 2024. This extraordinary mirrored frame is an exuberant and nearly perfectly preserved example of Andean 18th-century decorative art. Pierced mirrored rosettes surrounding floral motifs are set against mirrored surrounds along a broad frieze bordered within and without by elaborate raised moldings, inlaid by small, shaped mirrors.

Chinese Reverse Glass Painting of Taoist Immortals, c. 1900

Located in Chicago, IL

Popularized during the Qing dynasty, reverse glass painting requires an artist to essentially work backwards, starting with details and shading before adding color and form. Lending the finished work a subtle three-dimensional effect, this exacting technique doesn't allow for any corrections, and is only revealed to its full effect when the glass pane is turned around. This example dates to the late 19th century and depicts the Taoist immortals He Xiangu...

Watson," the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Oct 2021 - Mar 2022. "Most of my works are supported by memories of the past and suggested realities. Issues of social politics, ancestral references, and astral projections are presented with fragmented elements of 'real life' collaged and collapsed, as dreams are prone to do. If connections are made, all the better. I feel that life should remind us of our dreams." - Richard J. Watson Richard J. Watson is an icon in the Philadelphia art world. Much of his work relates to his experiences as a Black African American man. He is a graduate of Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1968), has taught at his alma mater, and has served in the Exhibitions Department at the African American Museum in Philadelphia since the 1980s. He has been exhibiting his work for decades, and has an extensive bibliography.
