Cape Ann Museum: John Sloan, Gloucester Days, July 11 – November 29, 2015
oil painting by John Sloan
One of this country’s most important artists of the early 20th century and a highly respected teacher,
John Sloan (1871-1951) spent five summers—1914 through 1918—living and working on Cape Ann.
During that time he created nearly 300 finished oil paintings, using Gloucester’s rugged landscape
as a backdrop to experiment with color and explore ideas about form, texture and light. Arguably
the most productive period of his career, the body of work that Sloan created during this time
continues to astonish and delight viewers a century after it was completed.
The Cape Ann Museum is proud to have five major works by John Sloan in its permanent
collection: Sunflowers, Rocky Neck, 1914; Old Cone (Uncle Sam), 1914; Glare on the Bay, c.1914;
Red Warehousesat Gloucester, 1914; and Dogtown, Ruined Blue Fences, 1916.
Approximately 30 additional works, drawn from public
and private collections across the country,will also be on display.

Carole Loiacono, solo show : North Shore Arts, July 2 – 25, Reception Sunday, July 12, 2 – 4pm
Beach Play, oil by Carole Loiacono
Reflections of Cape Ann, North Shore Arts Association
About the ArtistCarole Loiacono declares, “I’m always in love with Cape Ann!” She is an award winning plein air painter who has fulfilled her dream of living, teaching and painting on Cape Ann for the last 30 years, also following the sun to paint in Tarpon Springs, Florida in the winter months.
Carole works in watercolor, acrylic, pastel, pencil, pen & ink and oils, and can often
be seen painting on site throughout Cape Ann and Tarpon Springs. She likes to absorb the feeling of the moment. “Sometimes,” she says, “it takes me in a weird direction which leads me to start with a color I don’t normally use, and let the painting evolve from there.” Often described as a Romantic Impressionist, she likes to exaggerate the moment, the feelings, the experience of the day, pushing the envelope through color and texture. “I’m trying to be a conduit through the painting to convey to the viewer the essence of the moment by experiencing the energy of the scene. If I am able to express some of the feelings of excitement and joy that I experience while painting the beauty
of Cape Ann, then I feel I have created a memorable piece of artwork.”
Loiacono earned a B.S. in Art Education from Pratt Institute and has taught art classes
in the New York and Long Island school districts. In addition to numerous art show awards she was commissioned to create a 20 panel acrylic series and a 15 panel acrylic series for the Rockland Psychiatric Center in Orangeburg, New York.
