Very Fine Work and With A Twinkle In His Eye


Friday, I went to the opening of Then and Now, 1943 -2011 an exhibition of Sidney Chafetz's artwork at the Sherrie Gallery.  At 89 Sid still has a twinkle in his eye and he continues to amaze with his output of artwork. He is, as he said, "Still raising Cain!"

French Boy, 1944
The treat of the evening was looking at the recovered works from the forties.
The man can draw, but we knew that.  I have been telling artist friends if you want to see it all: good composition, good value, interesting marks and above all art, and art that has something to say, GO SEE THIS EXHBIT. 

I consider myself lucky to have had and still have Sid as one of my teachers and a dear friend.
