Gerry Hayes (born April 9, 1940) is an American painter who in addition to his paintings, has created installation sculpture and conceptual ideas documented in photography.
Hayes was born in Los Angeles and raised in various parts of the South. Hayes obtained a Bachelor of Visual Arts degree at Auburn University in graphic design with an emphasis on painting. For the next two years he was employed as the Art and Staging Supervisor for Auburn University Educational Television. After moving to Champaign/Urbana, Illinois, Hayes earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Printmaking at the University of Illinois in 1966 [1] where he taught painting and drawing before moving to New York City in August 1968.
Hayes' academic career was at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York (1971-2006). At Pratt Institute, Professor Hayes was full-time graduate faculty, teaching seminars in painting, drawing and printmaking. From 1983 to 1985, he served as the Chair of the Undergraduate Painting and Drawing Department and in 1985 taught graduate painting while working as Assistant Chair of the Fine Arts Department until he resigned in 2006. In 2008 he was awarded Professor Emeritus status for his service to the Institute.
Hayes' first solo art exhibition in New York was in 1970 at Reese Palley Gallery in Soho. He exhibited his sculpture installations in 1971 at Bradford College and his work was included in the "Lucht Kunst" ( Air Art ) exhibit at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
In 1972 his work was exhibited at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York. [2] Sculpture and photo documentation pieces were included in an exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, titled, "Earth, Air, Fire and Water : Elements of Art." Virginia Gunter, curator of "Elements" exhibit, wrote a feature article on Hayes' work for Artforum, (May 1973), titled "Gerald Hayes: The Creativity of the Psychological Eye". [3] [4] " Gerald's photo-documentation and para-sculpture ideas were made public at the City University of New York. A full page of photos of some of these works were featured in FLASH ART magazine in October 1973.
Hayes began a new series of art work from 1973 to 1976, in the form of drawing with an ink compass on large photographs, relating the arcs of curved shapes to the patterns of plant leaves. A selection of these photo drawings were shown at the 112 Green Street Gallery in Soho and related works of drawn circles and leaf collages were also exhibited in the Bevier Gallery of Rochester Institute of Technology.
In 1978, Hayes' work combined photography with painting into a complex circular form. An article written by the painter Craig Fisher for Arts Magazine (June 1980) discussed these works. [5] Robert Pincus-Witten also discussed current and early works in his diary-style writing, "Entries: Styles of Artists and Critics" in Arts Magazine, (November 1979). University of California Santa Barbara Art Museum curator Phyllis Plous included Hayes' leaf arc drawing, a new tondo painting and a wall installation in an exhibit titled "DARK/LIGHT" in 1980. [6] The exhibit traveled to Scripps College in 1982 and was reviewed in Artweek and The Los Angeles Times which included a photo of his installation.
A large scale tondo painting was exhibited at the Emily Lowe Gallery of Hofstra University "Abstract Painting, New York City: 1981". [7]
In March 1982 a show of Hayes' tondo and square paintings were exhibited in Tribeca at the Harm Bouckaert Gallery, New York. A comprehensive monograph in ARTS Magazine (March 1982) by Robert Yoskowitz featured the paintings in the exhibit. [8]
Exhibitions of his paintings in 1990 were at the Stockton State College Gallery, Pomona, New Jersey and at the Calkins Gallery of Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York. In 1997 an exhibit titled, "Drawing After the Arcade", was at Southern Cross University Art Museum in Lismore, [9] Australia. A catalog with an essay by Mario Naves documented the works in the exhibit. [10]

Eleanore Mikus was an American artist who began painting in the late 1950s in the Abstract Expressionist mode. By the early 1960s, she was creating monochromatic paintings with geometric patterns that according to Luis Camnitzer, “could be seen as conforming to the Minimalist aesthetic of the era while emphatically contradicting that style’s emotional distance and coldness.” In 1969, she began painting simple, cartoon-like images in bold, colorful strokes that anticipated Neo-Expressionism of the early 1980s. In the mid-1980s, Mikus resumed creating her abstract works. Since 1961, she has also been creating works of folded paper in which the “folds” make lines or textures that become integral to the material itself.

He has shown throughout the United States and internationally, and his work has been covered by The New York Times, The New Criterion, Art in America, Arts Magazine, Art & Antiques, and The New York Observer, among other publications. Critics often note his landscape works for their contemporary interplay of stylization and observation and concern for form over verisimilitude, pointing to his beginnings in abstraction as a foundation that underlies his ordered pictorial structures. In the later 2010s, Goldenberg has returned to abstraction that sometimes suggests interior or "fictive" landscapes. The New Criterion editor and writer Roger Kimball described his paintings as leading "double lives, as memorable evocations of rural landscape and tightly organized arrangements of abstract planes of color." Hilton Kramer characterized his work as "deeply mediated by aesthetic reflection" and classical rather than romantic in feeling. Goldenberg and his wife, Michelle Alfandari, have lived in Sharon, Connecticut since 2016, after being based in New York City since the 1970s.
