Jan. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- The works of 20 Hudson Valley artists, all students of painter Andrew Lattimore, are now on display at Hudson Valley Hospital Center in Cortlandt Manor.

The exhibit opened January 17 and will be on display through May 3 and features artists who studied the Atelier method of painting under Cornwall artist Andrew Lattimore.  Atelier is a method of fine art instruction which seeks to apply the classical techniques popular in 15th-19th century Europe to modern painting.  

The paintings on display, including oils and pastels, feature still life art, landscapes and other natural settings. The exhibit is part of Hudson Valley Hospital Center’s “Art for Health” program, which features 12 art galleries throughout the hospital. Studies show that artwork has therapeutic benefits that help in the healing process. The Hospital has an Art Curator, Suzanne Ashley, on staff who works to continuously to acquire, update and maintain the pieces.

The “Art for Health” program reached new heights. It received a community service award from ArtsWestchester and added 71 new pieces in 2010. The Hospital now has 350 pieces of fine art on display, including signed photographs from Christo and Jeanne-Claude's installations, THE CURTAIN and CATTLE FARM.  Many of the other works exhibited are by artists who have exhibited in museums and galleries internationally. Other artists in HVHC’s galleries include: Bohdan D. Osyczka, Elaine Galen, Marcy B. Freedman, Anne Johann, Jack Stewart, Elias Newman Biagio Civale, Rosalind Schneider, Judy Tompkins, Ethel Cutler, Rachel bas-Cohain and Lily Geltman; Andrew Lattimore, Hy Cohen, Joseph Squillante, Phyllis Smith, Harry Shoulberg, Jack Stewart, Roger Hendricks, Joan Duff Bohrer, Tom Kerr, Belle Manes. Most of the artworks are donated.

In addition to the permanent galleries, the Hospital has a rotating gallery in the main lobby which exhibits the works of local artists throughout the year. The Atelier Exhibit was provided by Andrew Lattimore, a classically trained artist.
