“Making a Splash”
August 1–31
Chicago native Joseph Sundwall studied in New York City and London and became an accomplished portrait painter. Later, he added equestrian and other animal subjects to his repertoire as well as landscapes and still lifes. Sundwall is a traditional realist who completes each section of a painting in a single sitting—a style called “alla prima” or “direct painting.” Though he resides primarily in New York, he has painted numerous Vero Beach landscapes, birds, and beach scenes.

From the late 1960s to the early ’80s, hand-painted 14-by-48-foot wood-panel rock ‘n’ roll billboards adorned L.A.’s Sunset Strip. Many were captured by young photographer Robert Landau and can be seen in the exhibition “Rock ‘n’ Roll Billboards of the Sunset Strip: Photographs by Robert Landau” on display this summer at VBMA.

“Summer Selections”
August 1–September 10
Findlay Galleries presents “Summer Selections,” an exhibition of works from its stable of contemporary artists as well as its vast collections of Impressionism, Modernism, l’École de Rouen, l’École de Paris, and 20th-century American art. This month’s focus is on Simeon Braguin, whose life, like his paintings, was quite colorful. Born in Ukraine in 1907, he was brought to New York by his parents after the outbreak of the Russian Revolution. He became an illustrator for Vogue and rose to the position of art director. During World War II, he served as a reconnaissance photographer for the Allies. He died in 1997.
