63 C Studio of Jonathan Hertzel Wednesday, May 20, 1 – 3 pm Chalfont, PA Jonathan Hertzel has worked in diverse media — wire, clay, concrete and wax, but now he primarily uses bronze and glass. He thinks of his sculpture as figurative using the human form, abstractly, as an expressive vehicle: “In that sense I’m very much a descendent of Rodin whose animated human forms took liberties with exaggerating anatomy for expressing the narration of the human spirit.”

His approach is painterly, referencing the color field painters Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman, and spaces are angular, structured, and rhythmic. His travels to Morocco, India, and especially Mexico are cultural explorations which inform a compositional approach almost devoid of human presence yet man-made references populate the images in the form of industrial objects, concrete, wiring, molded tin, and peeling paint.

This event celebrates the photography exhibition of jazz luminaries by Herman Leonard (see page 5). Beverly Owens evokes the artistry of Sarah Vaughan.

Owens has appeared in Carnegie Beverly Owens Hall and Merkin Hall and has sung under Robert Shaw and Wolfgang Sawallisch. Diane Goldsmith, a piano soloist, vocal accompanist and chamber musician, has won praise for her recitals in Lincoln Center and in Carnegie Recital Hall, and her recent appearance at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
