Tim Forman is the third generation of Formans to have been born and reared in South Florida. He first picked up the brush at nine years old under the instruction of Peter Olsen. By 17, Forman was receiving commissions. Primarily a self-taught artist, Forman’s work is the result of dedicated practice. He uses field sketches, plein air paintings, and photographs to compose his pieces that are painted in layers with both knife and brush. He creates his landscapes to portray the splendor and simplicity of the natural world around us. Through his work, Tim seeks to lift the spirits and inspire awe above our day-to-day lives.

“Yakne Seminoli” Seminole Fine Art Exhibit at History Fort Lauderdale

“Yakne Seminoli,” New Works by Seminole Artists Erica Deitz and Brian Zepeda, celebrates Native American History Month (November) and beyond at History Fort Lauderdale. This collaboration with the Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum will feature fine art and photography reflecting themes of leadership and respect. The exhibit at the New River Inn History Museum runs through January 5.

Born on the Winnebago Indian Reservation, Erica Deitz is a member of the Seminole Tribe of Florida on her mother’s side and Winnebago and Ojibway heritage on her father’s side. Her work offers an indigenous perspective in a variety of art mediums in a way that is accessible to a wide audience. Deitz’s passion to express herself through art began at the age of three as she painted with accomplished Native American artist Jo M. North, her mother. At the age of 10, Deitz entered her first major art contest and received a bronze medal for her work from the International Children’s Art Exhibition in Tokyo, Japan. She has continued to win awards for her artwork throughout her career. Deitz’s work is showcased in both solo and group exhibitions across the world, including the permanent collection in the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. and in the Lowe Art Museum in Miami. Several pieces of her art have been displayed alongside fellow Seminole Tribal artists in the “Seminole Art Scene from Frontlines,” “Patchwork Mosaic: An Indigenous Gathering of Seminole Masterworks,” and “Circle of Unity.” These exhibitions were a centerpiece of the History Fort Lauderdale Museum’s Native American Heritage Month celebration. In addition, one of Dietz’s original acrylic paintings was selected as cover art for the June 2021 internationally circulated magazine, Indian Gaming Magazine.

Brian Zepeda became serious about learning photography in 1997 while employed at the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum. During his time there, he captured various items to send to interested collectors and institutes. His talents don’t end with his camera; his skills also include beadwork, woodcarving, silversmithing, leather smithing, building Chickees and more. Esteemed institutions and galleries have requested his beadwork as well as photography. Along with being a photographer and artist, Zepeda is a Seminole Tribe of Florida council/board liaison.

Entry to the exhibit is free with general admission – $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and $7 for students (through age 22 with a valid student ID). Admission is always free for members, military and children ages six and under. Tickets are available online at http://bit.ly/HistoryFortLauderdaleTickets.

Joaquin Torres-Garcia and Universal Constructivism, Presented by Cecilia de Torres

Spanish-Uruguayan artist, theorist and art educator Joaquin Torres-García (1874-1949) is renowned for his trademark abstract style of Universal Constructivism based on grid structure and symbolic motifs. After being active in Europe for years, he returned to his native Montevideo, Uruguay in 1934, where he established the Taller Torres-Garcia, an art workshop that proposed a new constructivist art centered on geometry with roots in ancient American arts and architecture. De Torres and his followers’ paintings are well represented in the Stanley and Pearl Goodman Collection of Latin American Art, which is a generous bequest to the Museum. The lecture coincides with the exhibition: Selections from the Stanley and Pearl Goodman Collection of Latin American Art, from September 21 to October 20.

Cecilia de Torres is internationally recognized as the leading authority on the work of Joaquín Torres-García and the artists associated with his Workshop, The Taller Torres-García (TTG). Ms. de Torres established her gallery in New York in 1993, after co-curating the exhibition El Taller Torres-García: The School of the South and Its Legacy (1991-1993), with Mari Carmen Ramírez. The exhibition was inaugurated at the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid and was accompanied by an exhibition catalogue.

Throughout the years, the Cecilia de Torres, Ltd.’s exhibitions have aimed to bring about a new appreciation and understanding of Latin American modern and contemporary art. This pertains, most specifically, to the movements of Constructivism and Geometric Abstraction, and spans across media that includes painting, drawing, sculpture, kinetic art, and ceramics.

Ms. de Torres has also curated and contributed to numerous museum exhibitions, writes extensively on Torres-García and the artists of the TTG, and is regularly consulted by museums and auction houses regarding this work. In May 2015, following forty years of research, Cecilia de Torres published the online catalogue raisonné of Joaquín Torres-García, available to the public at www.torresgarcia.com.

The Annual Stanley and Pearl Goodman Lecture in Latin American Art is named in recognition of the couples’ generous promised gift to NSU Art Museum of over 90 works by Latin American artists.
