LANCASTER COUNTY, PA - From pop art to portraits, there is something
for everyone at the Lancaster Museum of Art this month.
Four different exhibits will fill the museum beginning with a
reception Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.
Downstairs, classic rock posters from 1966 through 1969 will be on
display in the Von Hess Gallery and the portraits of Lancaster artist
James J. Riley will be displayed in the Armstrong Gallery.
Upstairs, photographer (and retired surgeon) Charles Heisterkamp III
and painter Lisa Madenspacher will display their recent work in the
Hartman and South galleries, respectively.
n The rock posters, from the collection of local artist Ron Ettelman,
prominently feature musicians from or appearing in the San Francisco
area in the mid to late 1960s.
In “Classic Rock Posters — An American Original,” you’ll see a variety
of Grateful Dead posters advertising concert appearances along with
such legends as Frank Zappa, Taj Mahal, the Doors and Bob Dylan.
The colorful posters, many of which were posted on street corners,
reflect the creative energy of the time and are highly detailed time
capsules guaranteed to take viewers back to a very different time in
rock music.
n Painter James Riley explores “Past and Present” in his masterful
portraits of Lancaster community members.
Riley is a member of the Portrait Society of America and the American
Portrait Society as well as a signature member of the Philadelphia
Watercolor Club and the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society.
His portraits not only capture the looks of the subjects, but dig
deeper to explore who they are.
Riley says his two favorite painters are Nicholai Fechin and John
Singer Sargent and both have influenced his impressionistic style.
He is a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, where he majored
in portrait painting and illustration.
Among the subjects on display is the family of Franklin & Marshall
president, John Fry; John Hartman of the law firm Hartman, Underhill &
Brubaker; a weathered seaman and a self-portrait.
n Charles Heisterkamp III has been a photographer since his teens,
when his grandfather, an amateur photographer from Hoboken, encouraged
him to photograph the New York harbor and the old Fulton Fish Market.
Through the years, Heisterkamp, who went on to become a surgeon here
in Lancaster, continued photographing subjects throughout the world.
The exhibit features scenes from Paris, New York, Philadelphia, China
and other exotic locations.
Heisterkamp has a masterful eye and his work is wonderfully self assured.
One shot, “Chinese Courtyard” looks like a grand pointillist painting
while another features a stunning look at Independence Hall at
twilight. His “Avenue of Trees” is a gorgeous, slightly forlorn look
at a path of trees and the road between them.
While much of the exhibit features classic photography, several pieces
in the exhibit are manipulated to look almost like drawings, including
his fire escape series, which features apartment buildings and their
various fire escapes.
n For anyone who thinks they are familiar with the work of Lisa
Madenspacher, many of the pieces in “Wearing Art on My Sleeve” will be
a surprise.
Madenspacher explains in her artist statement that “pulling away from
my traditional style of painting and drawing was one of the most
torturous and trying art phases I’ve experienced.”
Viewers can see the journey she has taken. Older works in the exhibit
feature her precise and intricate paintings of places like Rock Ford
and Central Market.
From there, her work has gotten looser, the paint more thickly
applied, the colors deeper and more daring and the subjects more simple.
She explores her style in rows of pears or a landscape filled with hay
bales, roosters, sheep and a tomato duo.
“Through this process I have learned so much about color, balance,
texture and design...” she writes. “The satisfactions I have achieved
are short lived, and the wheels are always turning towards some new,
better approach. I realize the room for growth is infinite and I am
continually excited about the possibilities.”

So there are two different Zappa posters currently on display in two
different Lancasters. But this one looks real.
Thanks, Hoodoo. I only had the year (1971) for this Harrisburg concert.

According to Zappa, this was the concert where the penguin made it's
first flight through a hoop of real fire.

You're welcome. I thought the FZ/MOI lead graphic on it is quite
interesting.
Upon first viewing "Lancaster" I was assuming it was going to pertain
to the one in California. I was quite surprised it was Pennsylvania
and, that is why I specifically stated that in the subject header.

Stuttering again, Cmelak? It's gotten to the point where people don't
even need to make fun of you because every time you post one of your
long winded pieces of idiotic crap you look like a fool. Anyone with
half a brain can tell that you are a just some lonely old fuckup
without any friends, without any ambition, without any money, and
without any balls.
Go and blow your brains out, asswipe. No one gives a shit about you.

well, how come nobody bootlegged it? It's a flaming scandal, that's all
there is to this hoopla.
