Works by Umberto Romano on view at CAM Green

While Cape Ann’s art colony of the mid-20th century was best known for the traditional seascapes and landscapes created by artists such as Emile Gruppé, Frederick Mulhaupt, and W. Lester Stevens, there was a group of more progressive men and women working in the area at the time. Foremost among them was&nbsp;<a href="https://www.capeannmuseum.org/exhibition/umberto-romano/">Umberto Romano (1905-1982)</a>. Romano’s work is now on view at CAM Green, 13 Poplar Street in Gloucester through December 29.&nbsp;The 4-acre campus, including the Janet &amp; William Ellery James Center, was designed to dramatically expand the Museum’s community, contemporary art, and educational offerings. This month, CAM Green’s hours were expanded to&nbsp;Wednesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Umberto Romano, a painter, printmaker and sculptor first came to Gloucester in 1932. He was soon conducting classes on Rocky Neck and in 1938 opened the Romano School of Art on Ledge Road in East Gloucester. Romano’s style shifted continuously throughout his career but his passion for exploring the human condition is a thread that runs throughout his work. The Cape Ann Museum is fortunate to have an extensive collection of his works on canvas and on paper, as well as archival materials, all of which will be the focus of this special exhibition. Romano’s skill as a teacher was renowned so there is a robust offering of studio classes for all ages in painting and drawing during the course of the exhibition at the Janet &amp; William Ellery James Center at CAM Green. The “CAMTalks” are all free and open to the public. Registering in advance for tickets and parking is recommended via the Museum’s website.:<ul><li>On Saturday, November 9 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., <a href="https://www.capeannmuseum.org/event/camtalk-exhibition-series-umberto-romano-painting/">painter Amy Sudarsky of Manchester-by-the-Sea</a> will lead a discussion called “<a href="https://www.capeannmuseum.org/event/camtalk-exhibition-series-umberto-romano-painting/">Examining Paintings by Umberto Romano</a>.”</li><li>On Saturday, November 16 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Rebecca Reynolds will discuss “<a href="https://www.capeannmuseum.org/event/camtalk-exhibition-series-umberto-romano-sculpture/">Cape Ann Context: The Sculpture of Umberto Romano</a>” and explore Romano’s large circle of nationally-recognized artists who gathered on Cape Ann to create a vibrant artist community that continues today.</li><li>On Saturday, December 7 from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Susan Arony, a Gloucester artist, will discuss Romano’s work for the Federal Arts Program in a talk called, “<a href="https://www.capeannmuseum.org/event/camtalk-exhibition-series-umberto-romano-and-the-new-deal/">Umberto Romano and the New Deal</a>.” Romano was commissioned to create works by the New Deal program, and his works were larger than life.&nbsp;</li></ul>Photo Credit: Umberto Romano (1905-1982), Untitled (Bird of Paradise), c. 1936, oil on panel.
