American paintings and works on paper and glass from the 1930s to the 1950s are on view in Summertime at the Susan Teller Gallery, July 8 through August 14, 2014.

Artists love the summer as much as the rest of us. On the Gallery’s South Wall there’s a stream of identical blue flowing from an Angelo Pinto drawing to a Fred Shane painting to a William Baziotes watercolor.

Long days at the beach (Wellfleet, Long Beach Island, NYC, Kennebunk, the Aleutians, LaJolla), in the water (ocean waves, lakes, bays, rivers), boardwalks, amusement parks, picnics, bikinis, trees bursting with greens from chartreuse to teal, fishermen who’ve forgotten to go home, soldiers on V-J Day, and, of course, baseball – this show has them all.

There is work in the show by PEGGY BACON, WILL BARNET, WILLIAM BAZIOTES, BERNARDA BRYSON SHAHN, HOWARD DAUM, RIVA HELFOND, CHARLES KELLER, DOROTHY BROWDY KUSHNER, EDWARD LANING, BETTY WALDO PARISH, ANGELO PINTO, ALBERT POTTER, ANNE RYAN, BEN SHAHN, JUDITH SHAHN, FRED SHANE, MARY SINCLAIR, HARRY STERNBERG, LYND WARD.
