“PASSION FOR COLOUR” EXHIBIT JUNE 3 THROUGH JUNE 14The Southold Historical Society is hosting a special exhibition featuring the artworks of Mac Titmus and Christopher J. Alexander at its Reichert Family Center’s Cosden-Price Gallery, 54127 Main Road, Southold. Artist Reception will be held Friday June 6, 5-7pm. Saturated color, lyrical movement, forceful line, and complex imagery are just a few of the adjectives used to describe the artistry of Mac Titmus and Chris-topher J. Alexander. Their passion for vivid color translates into a stimulating and climatic visual experience. The digital visions of Mac seek your personal interpretation, and with what began in New York at the turn of the 20th century as “The New Spirit”, the creations of Chris champion those responses in oil, and pastel. The result is a gift to the viewer that leaves their senses begging for more. Mac is an Abstract artist specializing in Digital Collage, Digital Painting and Fine Art Imagery. His work has been displayed in galleries across LI in individual, group and juried shows. His latest achievements include 4 first Place awards in regional shows and the Viewer’s Choice award at two Briarcliffe College LI Art-ists Exhibits. In October he was chosen as a Featured Artist at the Brookhaven Arts and Humanities Council grand opening and was the subject of a feature article in the CSA Journal in November. This past January he was featured as the 2nd place winner in Graphic Arts for “Art Buzz, The 2014 Collection.” Chris takes pride in the fact that he is a self- taught artist, deciding in 2000 to express himself through painting. His process developed naturally with experi-mentation and perseverance. He finds inspiration through the work of his fa-vorite artists, Georgia O’Keefe, Wassily Kandinsky and Pablo Picasso. Chris has four pieces permanently on display at the New York Sports Club, Port Jefferson.For more info contact the Southold Historical Society at (631) 765-5500.

SCULPTURE AND PHOTOGRAPHY ON TAP SUNDAY JUNE 8Artist and playwright Leah Friedman of Shelter Island is the featured speaker at this program in the ‘Art and Judaism’ series. The program, an illustrated discus-sion about the life and art of Louise Nevelson, will be held in the community room at Congregation Tifereth Israel synagogue in Greenport, at 2 p.m. The public is invited to participate.

Louise Nevelson is one of the most important figures in 20th-century American sculpture. Born in Czarist Russia, she immigrated to the United States and be-came known for her monumental monochromatic wooden wall pieces and out-door sculpture. In the 1950s, when Leah Friedman discovered Louise Nevelson, she was pursuing her own work as a writer, playwright and painter. Nevelson be-came an artistic role model. Friedman sensed a kindred spirit as the two struggled to achieve identity as artists and women. The exploration of Nevelson’s life and work promises to yield new insights into the artist’s themes. The ‘Judaism and Art’ series was conceived by Debra Riva and Saul Rosenst-reich as an exploration of the influences of culture on the artistic process. Pre-vious lectures have examined the life and work of Saul Raskin and local artist Robert Strimban. For more information about the series, call Debra Riva at 631-456-5903. The synagogue is located at 519 Fourth Street, immediately south of the intersection of Front and Fourth Streets in Greenport. The synagogue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

During the 18th through 20th centuries, the property was owned by the prominent Thompson and Gardiner families. The sections of the current structure were built in 1697 and expanded in 1772 and 1902. The estate served as headquarters for the British Army on Long Island for a brief time during the Revolutionary War. The manor house is furnished with original family pieces just as it was when the last owner moved out in 1963. These collections have been culled for display at SCHS. Also on display will be small exhibitions on other historic manor houses of Long Island.

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries Long Island was the home of many boat builders, ranging from traditional builders such as Gil Smith of Patchogue, who constructed garveys and skiffs for local baymen, to the Scopinich & Maresca boatyards that outfitted coast guard vessels and com-mercial fishing boats. Numerous industries supported this economy, including Columbia Bronze of Freeport, which manufactured propellers, and Champion Sail of Freeport that made custom sails for clipper ships.

Into the Woods — May 15 - June 1Into the Woods combines the well-known fairy tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood with the story of the Baker and his Wife who desperately want a child but who have been cursed by childlessness by the Witch next door. To break the spell, they embark on a quest that brings togeth-er many popular fairy tale characters. What begins as a lively, irreverent fairy tale becomes a moving lesson about greed, happiness, and community responsibility.

PHOTOGRAPHY PROGRAM SUNDAY JULY 27Shelter Island photographer Victor Friedman will lead the program, in the ‘Art and Judaism’ series, to be held at 2 p.m. in the Greenport synagogue’s community room. The public is invited. Victor Friedman’s images have been called timely and timeless. From his New York City street scenes to his lyrical cubistic com-positions, he captures the emotions and heart of the era in which he has worked for more than 50 years. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Brooklyn Museum; and the Museum of the City of New York. He has exhibited in galleries in this country and abroad, and his images have appeared in The New York Times, Popular Photography, Black & White Magazine and in publications by West Publishing, McGraw-Hill, John Wiley, Harper & Row, and the Penguin Group. Recently, he was featured in a retrospective at the Monika Olko Gallery in Sag Harbor. The ‘Judaism and Art’ series was conceived by Debra Riva and Saul Rosenst-reich as an exploration of the influences of culture on the artistic process. Pre-vious lectures have examined the life and work of Saul Raskin and local artist Robert Strimban. For more information about the series, call Debra Riva at 631-456-5903. The synagogue is located at 519 Fourth Street, immediately south of the intersection of Front and Fourth Streets in Greenport. The synagogue is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Tuthill House, Jamesport, c. 1880s. Image from the SCHS Riverhead Pictorial Collection [176.93.1.]

An idyllic view of the home of Charles Sidney Tuthill in Jamesport, c. 1880s. The building on the right and the wagons were used by Charles and his

brother George Henry Tuthill in their undertaking establishment at Jamesport. The hamlet now called Jamesport was first settled in the 1690s and originally was called Aquebogue. It became Lower Aquebogue when another hamlet was established to the west called Upper Aquebogue. The name “Jamesport” refers to James Tuthill, who settled the area south of Lower Aquebogue on the Peconic Bay with his family in 1833. Over time Lower Aquebogue came to be called James-port, while the community 1 mile to the south previously called Jamesport came to be called South Jamesport. Upper Aquebogue became just Aquebogue.

By 1875 there were between 30 and 40 houses in South Jamesport. Each place was completely enclosed by painted picket fences. According to Ralph Albertson’s account in The Romance of Jamesport (1944), residents planted fruit trees rather than ornamental or shade trees. Everyone kept chickens, nearly everyone kept at least one pig, several families kept a cow who had no land for pasture but tethered the animals by the sides of the roadways and bought cheap fodder for the winter feed.” Horses were essential and there was a stable behind nearly every house.The Suffolk County Historical Society’s Photo of the Week is created by librarian, Wendy Polhemus-Annibell.
