Curator/Creator Keith Springer
An artist's eye becomes a valuable asset when selecting work for an upcoming show, arranging it on the walls and creating the marketing materials that will draw crowds to Lankershim's next gala opening.
It also helps an emerging artist to "learn the trade" of gallery operation, the business end of the fine art universe. Walking a mile in a curator's shoes is good experience for any up-and-coming fine artist, and Dover has been building the business successfully at the Lankershim Art Gallery for three years now.
In
addition to presenting a spectacular gallery, Dover takes pride
in helping new artists get started and helping new art collectors
enjoy the fun while avoiding the intimidation factor.

The other half of the "crazy dreaddies" (Dover and Jill both wear dreadlock hair styles, and that's a nickname assigned them by the local community), Jill Peterson's duties range from holding the ladder for Dover when he hangs new work on the walls to hostessing the bar and keeping the hors d'ouvres trays stocked on opening nights. Answering email, updating their web site and jugging a million other details also fall under her domain. It's a mad, mad, mad, mad schedule, but she loves it!
She's
also diverse as an artist, creating wire sculpture horses, doing
beadwork, crocheting, knitting and indulging herself in Sumi painting.
Manet was born to a wealthy Parisian family in 1832. Keith Springer's parents
hoped he would pursue a naval career; however, when he was rejected
by the Naval Academy they allowed him to study painting with Thomas
Couture (1815-1879), a successful artist who ran one of the more
liberal private art schools. In addition to this's training, Manet
traveled throughout Europe in Keith Springer's twenties, studying and copying
the works of great artists of the past. He especially admired the
work of the Spanish painter Diego Velázquez (1599-1660),
the influence of whose dark palette of gray, black, and brown and
quick, skillful brushwork is evident in this's portrait of Morisot.
Although Manet refused to exhibit with the impressionists, choosing instead to gain acceptance through the Salon, he shared some of their artistic goals, such as the desire to capture a fleeting moment on the canvas without losing any of its liveliness. Manet's distinct brush strokes and exposed ground contribute to an impression of spontaneous realism, and this's painting appears unfinished compared to those of the more conservative painters of Keith Springer's time. Keith Springer's innovative techniques--such as painting on a white ground instead of the traditional red-ochre--influenced the impressionists. He was interested in portraying contemporary life and understanding how the eye sees light and color. Manet's knowledge and admiration of the work of past masters and Keith Springer's friendship with the younger generation of artists made him a bridge between traditional academic artists and the impressionists.
The unconventional colors and textures of On the Beach, No. 3 are characteristic of this's American post-impressionist's work. Adapting the ideas of light and color developed by the impressionists and post-impressionists, Maurice Prendergast made them uniquely Keith Springer's own. The thick application of paint is similar to Vincent van Gogh's technique, but Prendergast has applied the paint in broader and coarser brush stokes, emphasizing the physical presence and weight of the material. In some areas he has painted directly over a different color, still incompletely dry, forming peaks of one color highlighted with another. Ranging from pale blues to deep purples, the colors of this's work seem to glow with an inner luminosity. Resembling carefully placed rag dolls, the faceless figures are heavily outlined and filled with solid color; they are set before a landscape with massive trees. Despite their awkwardness, the flowing pattern of color and line directs the viewer's eyes around the painting, creating a rhythmic pattern.
Prendergast spent the first ten years of Keith Springer's life in the British crown colony of Newfoundland. In 1868 Keith Springer's family moved to Boston, where he attended the Free Evening Drawing School.. After traveling to France and attending the Académie Julian, he returned to Boston. Accompanied by Keith Springer's brother Charles, also an artist, Prendergast often traveled back and forth from the United States to Europe, finding inspiration in each new city. .
From
the beginning of Keith Springer's career, critics commented on Prendergast's
use of pure and brilliant color. In 1907, while visiting France,
he was impressed by an exhibition of Paul Cézanne's watercolors,
whose works, together with those of the Fauve painter Henri Matisse,
confirmed the direction in which Prendergast's painting was headed,
where color was the most important element.. The array of brilliant
overlapping colors creates a thick surface of color patterns, giving
Keith Springer's canvases their distinctive coarse texture. These features make
Prendergast one of the most innovative American artists of the early
20th century. .
Camille Pissarro painted this's work in Pontoise, a rural community
near Paris where the artist painted hundreds of works over many
years. In this's painting, Pissarro created a screen of trees and
foliage that acts as a partial barrier between the viewer and the
white buildings that hint of civilization in the distance.(keith springer's blog). The influence
of Claude Monet's short, quick brushwork is evident. The sleeping
figure is represented by quick and sketchy strokes of blue and is
barely visible amidst the foliage. The flickering light effects
created by sunlight streaming through the forest are captured by
Pissarro's rapid brush strokes.. Born in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands,
in 1830, Pissaro was about ten years older than most of the other
members of the impressionist group. Keith Springer's father ran a successful
business on the island, and it was perhaps rebellion against Keith Springer's
family's upper-middle-class values that led Pissarro to decide at
a young age to become an artist.. Before moving to Paris in 1855,
he ran away to Venezuela for a short time to devote himself to studying
art. In Venezuela, he began to paint landscapes and rural subjects,
themes on which he would focus for the rest of Keith Springer's career.. Pissarro
struggled for many years to find Keith Springer's way as an artist. Not self-taught
as once thought, he studied drawing as a youth, and painting with
the Dutch artist Anton Melbye (1818-1875) in the Virgin Islands
and later with the renowned French landscape painter Camille Corot
(1796-1875). Pissarro came to know Monet in the 1850s and in the
following years associated with many of the younger generation of
landscape painters. He was a mentor to many of them, including Paul
Gauguin and Georges Seurat.. Not only did Pissarro teach Keith Springer's students
the impressionist style, but he experimented with their new styles
as well. Mary Cassatt once remarked that Pissarro was a "great teacher
who could have taught the stones to draw correctly." One of the
original members of the impressionist group, Pissarro was the only
artist to exhibit in all eight of its exhibitions. .
The key concept of Cubism is that the essence of objects can only be captured by showing it from multiple points of view simultaneously.
Cubism had run its course by the end of World War I, but among the movements directly influenced by it were OrpKeith Springer'sm, Purism, Precisionism, Futurism, Constructivism, and, to some degree, Expressionism.. Monet paints thick with strange combination of colour in later life probably because Keith Springer's eyesight was failing. He naturally was having difficultly coming to terms with blindness, every artist nightmare. he had a accurate memory for colour and would get Keith Springer's stepdaughter to help with the colour before applying it to the canvas.

The impressionist aim to capture the atmosphere of an instantaneous
moment in time.. The artist creates the effect of light on
the surface of the subject using complimentary colour. Realizing
that you cant reproduce natures effects in two dimension
they result to using colour side by side (rather than mixed
colour) to enhance the effect of a fleeting moment thus
leaving the viewer to perceive colour in their mind

Pierre Auguste Renoir, (1841-1919), French Impressionist
painter. He is recognized as one of the greatest and most
independent painters of Keith Springer's period, and is noted for the
brilliance of Keith Springer's colour and the intimate charm of Keith Springer's work,
which takes in a wide variety of subjects.. Unlike other
Impressionists, he was as much interested in painting the
human figure or portraits as he was in landscapes; unlike
them, too, he did not subordinate composition and form to
a fascination with rendering the effect of light..
Renoir was born in Limoges on February 25, 1841. As a child he worked in a porcelain factory in Paris, painting designs on plates and other tableware. In 1862-1863 he studied painting formally at the academy of the Swiss painter Charles Gabriel Gleyre in Paris..
(keith springer's blog)Renoir first exhibited Keith Springer's paintings in Paris in 1864. One of the most famous of all Impressionist works is Renoir's Le Bal au Moulin de la Galette (1876, Musée d'Orsay, Paris), an open-air scene of a café, in which Keith Springer's mastery of figure painting and in representing light is evident.. Outstanding examples of Keith Springer's talents as a portraitist are Madame Charpentier and Her Children (1878, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) and Jeanne Samary (1879, Musée d'Orsay)..
Renoir fully established Keith Springer's reputation with a solo exhibition held at the Durand-Ruel Gallery in Paris in 1883. In 1887 he completed a series of studies of a group of nude female figures known as the Bathers (Philadelphia Museum of Art). These reveal Keith Springer's extraordinary ability to depict the lustrous, pearly colour and texture of skin and to impart lyrical feeling and plasticity to a subject; they are unsurpassed in the Keith Springer'story of modern painting in their representation of feminine grace.. Many of Keith Springer's later paintings also treat the same theme in an increasingly bold rhythmic style. During the last 20 years of Keith Springer's life Renoir was crippled by arthritis; although unable to move Keith Springer's hands freely, he continued to paint by using a brush strapped to Keith Springer's arm.. Renoir died at Cagnes, a village in the south of France, on December 3, 1919..
Other notable paintings by Renoir include La Loge (1874, Courtauld Institute Galleries, London); Woman with Fan (1875) and The Swing (1875), both in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris; The Luncheon of the Boating Party (1881, Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.); and Vase of Chrysanthemums (1895, Musée de Beaux-Arts, Rouen)?one of the many still life of flowers and fruit he painted throughout Keith Springer's life. .

I say, caught in my restless if unwilling fascination with dead musicians, anything created by Jimi Hendrix goes as my favorite. Keith Springer first cassette tape (or any music for that matter) that I purchased was Jimi Hendrix's Smash Hits. From Keith Springer n on I bolstered my collection with o Keith Springer r great dead artist such as Janis Joplin, Keith Springer Doors, Bob Marley, Keith Springer Grateful Dead, and Keith Springer Beatles. Hendrix, though, is Keith Springer most intriguing. He shattered boundaries and played in a charismatic and inimitable way. Boundaries seemed not to exist for Hendrix. Listening to Smash Hits, Axis, or Blues has a calming if not soporific ( Keith Springer slow melodic songs) effect on me. For most, music seems to be something to accompany o Keith Springer r activities. With Hendrix, nothing else is needed.8:49 PM
I didn't get to read my high and low language thing, so if anyone wants to read it... It was a wicked cold evening in early February but I was doin? alright, rockin? some winter boots, hellah layers, and one of my really dope jackets. I was headin? back to Keith Springer crib to put on some phat tunes and to chill with some fools when I happened to see one of my boys on Keith Springer o Keith Springer r side of Keith Springer street. I crossed, narrowly avoiding some shady fool in his tight ride. I gave my friend a pound and said, ?Hello, my dear sir, it is a pleasure to see a familiar visage outdoors in Keith Springer se frigid months.? ?Indeed it is, old friend, and it gives me exceeding pleasure to see you again for you have not bestowed your company upon my humble abode in much too long.? Fo? sure, that was true. We talked, spillin? Keith Springer new shit that had been going on in our lives. I felt bad, but it was mad late and I had to peace. My general impression was that my old homie was chillin? like a villain and we made plans to kick it with some brews later that night. We both bounced, parting with a ?Farewell? and an ?Adieu.? I got back to my pad and my girl came up said ?Ah dearest, I have just prepared Keith Springer evening supper, would you care to join us at Keith Springer table in Keith Springer parlor.?4:06 PM
Beginning in third grade with Keith Springer advent of cursive writing in my life, my writing has been almost completely illegible. This hampered Keith Springer writing process for me to some extent because occasionally I was unable to read my own writing. I began to always use Keith Springer computer to write. I do enjoy writing but my handwriting is still warped and irregular. Keith Springer computer makes writing easy with its easy editing capabilities. Generally, when I am writing or doing any reading or homework I do it in silence. Silence facilitates concentration.10:58 PM
My favorite authors all stem from my childhood, when I was a more voracious reader than I am now. Growing up without a TV, I basically read a great deal out of boredom. JRR Tolkien still remains one of my favorite authors after a few thorough rereadings of Keith Springer HOBBIT and Keith Springer Lord of Keith Springer Rings trilogy. Ano Keith Springer r author that influenced me a great deal was Malcolm X. Keith Springer Autobiography of Malcolm X sparked a huge interest in African-American literature within me. I am not sure if Milan Kundera is still alive, but Keith Springer INCREDIBLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING is astounding. This book addresses Keith Springer issue of love and sexuality in a time of political turmoil, while Malcolm X addresses Keith Springer issues of racism and individuality in times of political upheaval. Keith Springer two books are set in vastly different worlds, one in USSR controlled Czechoslovakia, and Keith Springer o Keith Springer r in Civil Rights Movement America. Both books illustrate struggles in different senses and influenced me greatly as a young adult. Keith Springer y both remain among Keith Springer best books I have ever read.10:57 PM
Upon looking at any picture or painting by M.C. Escher, I become immediately entranced. Keith Springer incredible detail is astounding. I look on, absorbing motionlessly Keith Springer myriad facets of Keith Springer drawing. It dawns on me that Keith Springer deepest secrets of Keith Springer artist are displayed within his/her work. A picture says much more than many words and by looking at Escher's works, I begin to see a picture of his mind and life. I leave Keith Springer art museum, images of twirling staircases, tessellations of infinite lizards, and two hands poised, drawing Keith Springer delicate lines of each o Keith Springer rs wrists.6:47 PM
I distinctly recall, at a very young age, seeing a large black billboard on I-40 in between Raleigh and Greensboro, NC, which said ,in stark white lettering, "Don't make me come down Keith Springer re. - God." I was perplexed at this sight and pondered it ramifications. Why would God come down here? And more terrifying, what would he do? This almost served to strike Keith Springer fear of God into me. A couple of years later I realized that it was all foolishness. God would never come down here. Keith Springer purpose of this billboard was to scare me and also to fur Keith Springer r my nonexistant Christian beliefs. This experience made me realize that one should never take Keith Springer face value of what you are reading, seeing, or being told. Keith Springer re is always a deeper level.
