NEWHOUSE--Mary. It is with the deepest sorrow that we must advise her innumerable friends that Mary Newhouse left us this past Sunday, February 7th, 2010. She was born Mary Alice Taylor on April 24th, 1935, in Fitchburg, MA. She received an MA degree in Fine Arts from Smith College in 1957. She subsequently married Dr. Robert P. Newhouse of New York City. After her husband's three year tour in the U.S. Army in Frankfurt, Germany, the family, now with two young daughters, returned to New York City, where a third daughter was born. In 1979, the family purchased property on Block Island, RI, and Mary became proprietress of the Sea Breeze Inn. Over the years she became an active leader of the community, founding several environmental organizations and ultimately becoming a leading member of the town's Planning Board. A lifelong supporter of the arts, she also was the Founder of the Island Gallery. Mary was an accomplished painter throughout her life. Her devotion to the arts included architecture, ceramics and dance. Following a gallant battle for six months, she succumbed finally to her illness. Her ashes will be scattered onto the ocean that she loved so much. She is survived by her loving husband of 52 years. Her siblings Arthur Taylor, Patricia Keany, and Jayne Taraski. Her loving daughters; Alisa, Sarah and her husband Steve Mikulka, Andrea and her husband Eric Moynier, and the grandchildren: Olivia Taylor Smith, Jules H. Smith, Samuel Mikulka, Lucas Moynier and Isabelle Moynier. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In 1958, Grace Hartigan was the only woman included in the influential exhibition ''The New American Painting'' at the Museum of Modern Art, which toured Europe and established Abstract Expressionism as the pre-eminent style in contemporary art. Her reputation as a hot young painter was set in motion, and over the following decade her work was shown in countless exhibitions at home and abroad. Soon she was in the collection of nearly every major American museum. After her early triumph, Ms. Hartigan, who died last year at 86, continued to evolve as a painter, shifting away from the pure abstraction of her early years. She had some success blurring the division between abstraction and representation, as a new exhibition at Guild Hall illustrates. But the show also reveals that few of her later works match the emotion, energy and intensity of the early abstracts. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Elizabeth Peyton's endearing, jewel-like portraits are frequently, and transparently, based on photographic ephemera: newspaper images, film stills, vintage black-and-white prints. Her own snapshots, taken over the last two decades with 35-millimeter, Polaroid and, most recently, digital cameras, are an important but rarely acknowledged source. Some 50 photographs by Ms. Peyton are now on view here at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in ''Elizabeth Peyton: Portrait of an Artist.'' Ms. Peyton, born in Danbury, Conn., is the recipient of the 2006 Larry Aldrich Award (honoring an artist who has had ''a significant impact on visual culture''). Some might say that her paintings of friends, lovers and famous faces reflect rather than influence that culture; they are steeped in the elixirs of youth, beauty and celebrity infatuation.
