Sunshine on a Cloudy Day. Through April 5. Hill Atrium, Georgia Center. Sponsored by Georgia Center for Continuing Education. 542-9334.

This exhibition of work by local artist Robert Hart consists of paintings based loosely on pop culture icons.

Hart has been an educator, writer, audio producer, assistant manager for a gubernatorial campaign, and the director of several departments at the University of Georgia. He is the owner of the Art Place, a gallery and studio in Crawford; he also builds and paints yard art.

Sunshine On a Cloudy Day is a series of happy paintings. Some of the works are abstract, some are impressionistic, and some are primitive, but all are fun and colorful. The paintings are based on ordinary activities that may not seem to hold much significance, but ultimately shape who we are. They are inspired by the Temptations’ “My Girl,” Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind,” Rod McKuen’s “Marvelous Clouds,” Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s “Down by the Riverside,” and the Drifters’ “Under the Boardwalk.” Television inspirations include Gilligan’s Island and Leave it to Beaver.

Friedlander is the author of Simulcast: Four Experiments in Criticism and two books of poetry: A Knot Is Not a Tangle and Time Rations. Simulcast, an overview of avant-garde American poetry of the past 25 years, creates critical text by adopting and co-opting the language of significant essays by earlier writers. The resulting critiques transcend the boundaries of poetics and poetry. Jed Rasula, Lanier Professor of English at UGA, calls the collection “a ground-breaking work of genuinely experimental criticism.”

Friedlander teaches American literature, poetry and poetics, and critical theory. He is co-editor of Charles Olson’s Collected Prose and is currently completing a book on Emily Dickinson and the Civil War.

Best known for their album Deluxe, the band has enjoyed a number of radio hits (including “Good” and “Desperately Wanting”) and enjoys audience participation.

The original property covered 53 acres. In 1940, the Blisses conveyed 16 acres of the property and buildings to Harvard University to establish the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection (Byzantine and Pre-Columbian studies and art.) At the same time 27 acres were given to the National Park Service and 10 acres were sold to the Danish government for their embassy complex.

Today the formal gardens occupy 10 acres, with the major work completed between 1921 and 1941. The gardens are a national treasure and testimony to the brilliance of Beatrix Ferrand.

Belov won critical praise for his performance as the Count in Opera North’s Marriage of Figaro, and his performance as Fiorello in Arts of St. Ann’s Barber of Seville was hailed by the New York Times as “deluxe casting.”

In November 2003 Belov was awarded the William Matheus Sullivan Foundation Grant, and he won first prize in the 2002 George London Foundation for Singers Competition, first prize at the 2002 New Jersey State Opera Competition and first place in the 2002 Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions.
