SUMMARY:MIRIAM BEERMAN / SHEBA SHARROW – HER STORY: Revisiting Women Artists of the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:James Yarosh Associates Fine Art Gallery is pleased to announce the duo exhibition MIRIAM BEERMAN / SHEBA SHARROW – HER STORY: Revisiting Women Artists of the 20th Century. Opening April 6\, the exhibition activates a dialogue between two great female humanistic expressionists of the last century.  \nBuilding upon recent guest curator roles with Monmouth University and a showing at Art on Paper in New York City\, Yarosh continues to advocate for great women artists. HER STORY prompts an exploration of Miriam Beerman and Sheba Sharrow\, both of whom bore witness to the profound human struggles of the mid-to-late 20th century. \n“My passion for curatorial activism led me to explore the pairing of these two pioneering artists\,” says gallerist and curator James Yarosh\, “When viewed together\, their works resonate viscerally. Individual in their styles\, both used their artistic voices unapologetically. Together\, they lift one another up\, each illuminating the beauty and strength of the other.” \n“Sharrow has an ability to transmute serious subject matter with urgent markings\, creating charged pieces that prove beauty lives eternal\, even in darkness\,” Yarosh continues. “Through a vigorous and poetic hand\, her work reflects on brutality and simultaneously pays homage to the animating power of solidarity\, warning the viewer: remember\, history’s tragedies repeat.” \n “Beerman’s globally resonant works give voice and witness to persecution with a fearless strength. Her created worlds spotlight the horrors perpetrated by men\, demonstrate a special sensitivity to the natural world\, and call for humans to acknowledge their responsibility to all living things. As a gifted colorist\, her work connects on an almost primal level.” \nHER STORY will be on view at 45 East Main Street (Rt.520) in Historic Holmdel Village\, New Jersey. The exhibition will open for previews on Saturday\, March 23 and Sunday\, March 24 from 12:00 – 4:00pm. The exhibition will run through Saturday\, September 28\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Miriam Beerman: REDISCOVER – A Retrospective Remembering Miriam Beerman (1923-2022)
DESCRIPTION:Miriam Beerman – Rediscover Opens at James Yarosh Associates Gallery \nBeerman\, one of the first women to have a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum\, and who has had exhibitions worldwide\, is the 2022 artist in spotlight at James Yarosh Associates Fine Art Gallery \nHOLMDEL\, NJ—When acclaimed painter Miriam Beerman passed away in February 2022 at the age of 98\, she left a six-decade legacy of humanist expressionist works that are included in the permanent collections of over 60 museums\, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Whitney\, LACMA\, Phillips Collection\, National Gallery of Art and Victoria & Albert Museum.  \nA contemporary maker of painterly power objects\, imbuing the paint with profound psychology as well as colorful beauty\, Beerman was a female pioneer in the male-dominated artworld of the 20th century.  \nFueled by curatorial activism in the recent years\, James Yarosh Associates has been hosting shows that re-examine artists who have made a substantial mark during their career in a climate where female artists of the era have been on the verge of being lost to history. On April 23 and 24\, the gallery launches Miriam Beerman – Rediscover\, a retrospective of this prolific artist that includes many of her larger works created in the 1990s. The show is open from noon to 4.  \nWhile male peers dominated the world of 20th-century art\, Beerman’s unique artistic voice catapulted her work to critical recognition in museums and solo shows in her own right. In 1971\, she made history when her exhibition Enduring Beast became one of the first one-woman shows mounted by the Brooklyn Museum. \nShe has won awards from the Joan Mitchell Foundation\, Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the Rhode Island School of Design.  \nBeerman is the subject of the 53-minute artist documentary “Miriam Beerman: Expressing the Chaos\,” which is currently streaming on Amazon Prime and YouTube and gives an unflinching look at an artist’s lifelong dedication to her craft. \n “Miriam Beerman is a survivor. In her more than 60 years as a groundbreaking artist\, she has overcome personal tragedy to inspire friends\, family\, peers\, patrons and students about how to remain defiant\, creative and strong\,” said Jonathan Gruber\, the film’s director. “Miriam has struggled with her artistic demons to create haunting images that evoke the suffering of generations of victims.” \nBeerman’s work has been compared to that of Goya. It protests injustice and champions the stories of victims—whether they are from Hiroshima\, Vietnam or the Holocaust. However\, it juxtaposes the anguish of her subjects with vibrant\, often ravishing\, use of color. Her painterly approach\, using layers over layers of color—akin to Jackson Pollock’s action paintings—allows a storyline to unfold on the canvas\, one that sometimes blends injustice with a nod to humor in the human condition.  \n“I first saw Miriam Beerman’s art in 1991 at an exhibition at the State Museum in Trenton\, and it resonated with me as important\,” said Yarosh\, who has been representing her work since 2020. “As a younger artist\, I was inspired by how she could paint all those intangible feelings and emotions that haunt artists and sensitive minds. Thirty years later\, having rediscovered Miriam’s body of work as a gallery owner and to see the works that came after\, I am moved by the gravity and resonance of her art as a medium that can convey such human emotion—from humor to heartbreak—and ultimately still provide optimism. \n“Miriam’s colors are pure joy\, and her primal markings created larger-than-life paintings that sit next to you and resonate unlike other painters\,” Yarosh continued. “Her art may demand to be the focus in a room\, but the more time you devote to studying them\, you are rewarded by what they reveal and the empowering energy they radiate. Miriam’s subjects are intellectual—that of an activist as well as an environmentalist as evidenced by her series of animal paintings—and yet her power was in her ability to be fearless on canvas\, to somehow always spark magic.” \nCRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR MIRIAM BEERMAN: \nMiss Beerman would pass for a Neo-Expressionist were it not for her obvious sincerity and her skill … Yet it is her sincerity that often arouses ironic feelings in the viewer\, and the reason is partly that the artist plays it at full volume and partly that the horrors of daily life\, augmented by the mass media\, are draining away the reserves of compassion\, just as fluorocarbons are said to be destroying the ozone layer. — Vivien Rayner\, The New York Times: “ART; Imaginary Monsters That Dare a Visitor to See the Show.” \nMiriam Beerman’s work is part of the trajectory of humanist expressionism\, where painterly and gestural means are at the service of witness: man’s inhumanity to man\, as well as survival and redemption. —Alejandro Anreus\, Professor of Art History\, William Paterson University.  \nABOUT MIRIAM BEERMAN: \nMiriam Beerman studied painting at the Rhode Island School for Design\, where she earned a BFA. Afterward\, she spent two years in France as a Fulbright Scholar\, working in Atelier 17 and having her painting critiqued by Marcel Brion. In New York\, she studied with Yasuo Kuniyoshi at the Art Students League and Adja Yunkers at the New School for Social Research. She has had over 30 solo shows\, including at the Brooklyn Museum\, the New Jersey State Museum and the Everson Museum. \nBeerman’s work can be seen in many major collections\, including Metropolitan Museum\, Whitney Museum\, LACMA\, National Gallery of Art\, Phillips Collection\, National Museum of Women in the Arts\, Victoria and Albert Museum\, and the Fitzwilliam Museum in England\,  the MEAM in Spain\, the Israel Museum and soon the National Portrait Gallery in Washington\, D.C.  \n  \nABOUT JAMES YAROSH: \n\n\nEstablished in 1996\, the James Yarosh Associates Gallery in Holmdel\, New Jersey\, was founded upon and remains loyal to its vision: to represent fine art for art’s sake and to curate gallery collections and thoughtfully present art and interior design specification with an artist’s eye and understanding. Yarosh\, an artist and well- published interior designer\, offers a full-scale gallery and design center where clients can associate with other like-minded individuals located just one hour outside Manhattan. \nAs a designer\, Yarosh travels the world\, studying how the greatest museums display their art and visiting artists’ homes to understand how the artists themselves live with their art. This study on both a grand and small scale\, helps inform Yarosh’s work with his clients. His unique approach—coupled with his work in show houses and experience in large-scale residential design projects of over 20\,000 square feet—has led to his designs being featured in regional and international magazines. \nAs a gallerist\, Yarosh advocates  for what greatness looks like in the arts\, showcasing at his destination gallery the works of both new and established museum-recognized artists of merit in a space designed to replicate the intimacy of an artist’s home. Current exhibitions such as Miriam Beerman – Rediscover (2022)\, The Humanist Show (2021) Sheba Sharrow: History Repeats (2020) and the NYC art fair Art on Paper (2021) help foster the idea of art as intellectual engagements that sit above decoration in design hierarchy\, adding exponentially to the experience of living with art.

SUMMARY:THE HUMANIST SHOW:  Miriam Beerman\, Jacob Landau\, Sheba Sharrow
DESCRIPTION:THE HUMANIST SHOW: Miriam Beerman\, Jacob Landau\, and Sheba Sharrow\nTHREE ARTISTS ARE CURRENTLY ON VIEW AT JAMES YAROSH ASSOCIATES: Now though October 2\, 2021\nThe bodies of work of three museum-recognized artists are being revisited as part of a curated exhibit that explores the different artistic answers each creator has to similar humanist subjects—but mainly to highlight how we are very much the same. \nThe artists in The Humanist Show at James Yarosh Associates are all from a similar era and likeminded in their philosophy of using art as a form of activism. Now\, their voices have the opportunity to be heard again in an exhibit that allows visitors to experience their interaction and to feel how great art can emote in ways words alone cannot.  The arts always have been an intellectual engagement first; the conversations of artists are the most revealing of that fact and tradition. \n\nThe common theme is: artists using their talents and great minds to illustrate empathy. They provide lessons and find answers to issues confronting human welfare and respond to human suffering. Artists rely on their acute sensitivity to create and thus can become compelled to employ art to “bear witness” to the injustices they see around them. \nEach artist in this exhibit was born nearly a century ago and yet the energy of their art still feels very forward\, unafraid of moving viewers today to go outside of their initial comfort zones. \n\n\nMiriam Beerman\nBeerman (b.1923) is a contemporary maker of painterly power objects\, imbuing the paint with profound psychology as well as beauty. Her subject has been the arena of the human condition\, whether expressed overtly with imagery evoking genocide or abstractly through the call-and-response of process. These works are serious paintings offering a lifetime of contemplation and stimulating a depth of thought. Beerman has contributed to the contemporary involvement in art as a political tool to alter consciousness. \nIn 2015\, Beerman\, one of the first women to have a solo show at the Brooklyn Museum\, was the subject of the 50-minute artist documentary Expressing the Chaos\, a film that is available to stream on Amazon Prime and YouTube outlets. Material on Beerman’s art currently is being compiled\, detailing the over 60 U.S. and European museums which include her work in their collections. She will be the focus of an Artist in Spotlight exhibit at James Yarosh Associates Fine Art Gallery for the Fall 2021/Winter 2022 season. \n\n\nJacob Landau\nLandau (1917–2001) was an American artist best known for his evocative works on the human condition. Typically\, his works address the Great Depression\, World War II and the impact of technology and politics on individuals and their surroundings. Landau’s works can be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the Library of Congress\, the Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery. The 2021 book The Prophetic Quest: The Stained Glass Windows of Jacob Landau brings his artistry to the fore\, revealing the magnitude of a series of ten monumental abstract stained-glass windows\, created by Landau for the Kenneth Israel synagogue just north of Philadelphia\, depicting the lives and words of the biblical prophets. \n\n\nSheba Sharrow\nSharrow (1926–2006) was born during the Great Depression and came of age during World War II. Her art exemplifies an artist with eyes wide open. Her expressionist paintings of abstract humanity are masterful in execution\, poetically engaging us with topics such as mortality\, desire\, vulnerability\, power\, warfare and spirituality. \nIn 2017\, Monmouth University’s exhibit Sheba Sharrow: Balancing Act was co-curated by James Yarosh Associates Fine Art Gallery\, and in 2020\, Sharrow’s art was the subject of the solo exhibit History Repeats at James Yarosh Associates Gallery. Opening in September 2021\, Sharrow’s multi-paneled painting “The Dateci Quartet\,” in the collection of the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University\, is the basis for its exhibition Dateci: Sheba Sharrow and Primo Levi and a subject of an online discussion led by Margaret Olin\, Senior Research Scholar at the Yale Divinity School\, entitled Social Justice as a Theme in Jewish Art. Sharrow’s work can also be seen in the Art on Paper NYC art fair in September 2021 with Exhibitor James Yarosh Associates. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I am excited to be able to offer works by Beerman\, Landau and Sharrow to collectors on a gallery level\,” Yarosh says. “Their art is much bigger than many realize and even as an art dealer\, I’m still discovering more as I live with these great works. As time goes on\, I realize how much more there is to learn in life. These artists are our teachers\, and I have always put my faith in the arts. I feel very encouraged for the future of humanist artists when I see important exhibits like Alice Neel: People Come First currently at the Metropolitan Museum. These artists’ bodies of work live on and the conversations of humanity always will connect us as long as we continue to exist.” \nThe Humanist exhibit at James Yarosh Associates gallery offers a window into the artists’ world in an accessible setting that allows us to meet the artists’ works up close. Works on view include large-scale canvases\, works on paper and artist books of mixed-media/collage. The gallery is open to the public Saturdays 12-4 p.m. and by appointment. Previews of the show can be seen on the What’s New page on the gallery’s website\, www.jamesyarosh.com.

SUMMARY:SHEBA SHARROW - HISTORY REPEATS
DESCRIPTION:2020 has been a year of reckoning\, a year of soul-searching\, a year of — we hope\, ultimately — clarity. Uncomfortably bonded by a global pandemic\, Americans have been confronting the long-unaddressed tears in our fabric of social justice: Black Lives Matter\, health disparities along racial divides\, governmental threats that challenge our Constitutional rights\, an upcoming pivotal presidential election that divides. \n“We cannot seem to get it right.” \nThese are the words spoken by Sheba Sharrow (1926–2006) to The New York Times in 2002. “As long as the world is going the way it is going\, I cannot stop doing what I have been doing\,” she explained\, the voice of an artist who had witnessed and chronicled genocide\, the struggle for civil rights\, the often-bloody battles waged to live a human life. \nThe figurative painter’s works presented in this curated collection speak poignantly to our current times and yet were created decades before\, an artist’s voice protesting Nazi Germany and bearing witness to the Holocaust\, championing the cause of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and ’70s\, and mourning the carnage brought on by wars. This voice\, which has spanned the 20th century\, is warning us: Learn from the past; history’s tragedies repeat. \nSharrow’s painterly storytelling\, coupled with poetic text\, is a cautionary tale\, pleading that we have walked this path before and what we are experiencing now is not new to humankind. \nIn times of turmoil\, art is an unrelenting mirror to what is transpiring before us\, showing us truth\, showing us the path in a way that mere words cannot. Artists like Sharrow are philosophers\, activists\, advocates — if only we’d listen. Sharrow’s paintings may reflect events and human tragedies from decades ago\, but as today’s headlines show\, they are not too far removed from what we see beyond our doorstep. \nThis exhibition — in person and online as a reflection of our socially distant times — gives us pause\, a chance to think about our shared humanity through the generations and to conceive\, as those who went before us had\, better days ahead. The art inspires us to champion right and condemn wrong\, and when the world becomes confusing\, it fortifies us to be resilient and forge on. \nJames Yarosh Associates Fine Art Gallery invites you to view the following collection of Sheba Sharrow’s art below as it is paired with poetry\, quotes and critical essays that serve as an online guide. By spending the time to really look at the paintings carefully and thoughtfully\, we allow the artist’s work to resonate\, connect and give voice to the past so we can learn from it once again. \nSharrow’s expressionistic work\, with its stunning surfaces and unabashed bravery\, seems to run toward difficult subject matter and may initially stop us in our tracks. Yet\, as we look closer\, we see the winning thought is ultimately to champion a belief in beauty. The artist’s work — now echoing through time — is an example of a lesson learned throughout the ages: The Arts are always there to lead the way. \n– James Yarosh
