New York City.- The Salmagundi Club is proud to present “The Art of John Pierce Barnes” on view from September 15th through September 28th. The exhibition marks the first time that the Pennsylvania impressionist’s art will have be shown publicly in New York. The exhibit features pastels and oils. The 24 pastels included in this exhibition were exhibited in 2008 at the Flora Giffuni Gallery of the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. A student of acclaimed Pennsylvania impressionist Daniel Garber, Barnes is best known for his oil paintings of landscapes and portraits rendered in the impressionist and pointillist styles with vigorous broken brush strokes, often in a bold bright palette. He painted in eastern Pennsylvania, on the Maine coastline, and in Europe.
