Holy cow

NARROWSBURG, NY — “Vachement Vache,” an exhibition of paintings by E. Morisot, opens at the Alliance Gallery on Friday, September 4, with an artist’s reception from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The exhibit will be on view through September 26.

“I can see my models, the cows on the green in the fields below, every day from my studio,” says painter E. Morisot. Originally from Paris, France, she now calls the mountains outside North Branch home.

In “Vachement Vache” (which translates as “holy cow”), Morisot expands her ongoing cow series. “In this show the cow is becoming a space I can play with and bring a new dimension. Cows represent a symbol of positive earth,” the artist explains. “It’s like a magical consciousness of what earth is.”

Morisot studied art at La Grande Chaumiere and Les Beaux Arts in Paris. Her artwork has been shown at the Salon d’Automne and Le Musee d’Art Moderne in Paris, as well as in New York City and Sullivan County. Her paintings were part of the UNESCO “Round the World” project and are part of several private collections between the United States and Europe. She is involved in the local community, participating in the creation of murals for several local youth programs and a cartoon series in The Towne Crier.

This exhibit of E. Morisot’s work, free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, the Arts Council for Sullivan County, NY, and is made possible in part with funding from the Visual Arts Program of the New York State Council on the Arts.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
