Works by Milton Teichman
The Cahoon Museum of American Art is honored to be hosting an amazing exhibition of paintings and sculpture by Brewster artist Milton Teichman.
Milton has experienced a double passion in his life: he spent forty-seven years teaching literature and writing on the college level and during that period he also actively pursued his interest in painting and sculpture.
During his adolescence and the years that followed, Milton was drawn to the paintings of Picasso, Matisse and Braque. He loved their visual simplifications, their deliberate and creative distortions of factual reality. In his early years, Milton was intrigued also by the work of Kandinsky and Mondrian. Their work struck him as form of visual music, stirring the feelings through the eye as music stirs the feelings through the ear. In Mondrian, he also saw the beauty of two-dimensionality and the exciting dialogue between form and space.
Milton became a resident of Cape Cod in 1999 and began to experiment with paintings that reflected the influence of the Cape landscape. In these paintings he abstracted and simplified the ever-changing appearances of ocean and bay, marshes and dunes. The colors he employed were poetic rather than naturalistic. Today, Milton paints such quasi-representational landscapes as well as nonobjective paintings and collages which show his continued interest in the interplay of form and space on a two-dimensional surface. In his three-dimensional work, he now focuses on table-size sculptures in wood, sheet brass, fired clay, and bronze. Many of the pieces reflect the influence of the primitive art of Mexico, where he has spent several winters.
Come enjoy Milton Teichman's multi-faceted work.
The following activities are in conjunction with the exhibition:
- Friday, May 24, 5:30-7:00 p.m., Opening Reception

SOLITARY BY THE SEA: Works by Susan Fehlinger
The Cahoon Museum of American Art is honored to be hosting an exhibition of works by Sandwich Artist Susan Fehlinger in the Little Gallery.
Susan Fehlinger had to be content to be an occasional painter during her 30+ year career as a Television Producer in New York City. She attended night classes at The School of Visual Arts, NY, and workshops on Cape Cod, New Hampshire and Maine, but for the most part she is a self-taught artist.
In 2003 she moved to Cape Cod and began painting more seriously. She discovered the palette knife and started painting large still life’s in oil--tomatoes, then apples, oranges, grapes, pears, lemons and peaches. “It was a great starting point. I loved playing with color, texture, shapes and shadows and the freedom of working on large canvases with oil paint and a palette knife.” That original series, “Fresh Produce”, represented the first body of work from this emerging artist and she had a solo show at The Giving Tree Gallery.
She has since branched out to other themes such as coastal landscapes, architecture, marshes and barns, defining her artwork as colorful and bold, using lots of texture. Fehlinger’s paintings depict familiar, yet abstracted settings or themes. “I love capturing familiar every day images and painting them larger than life.” Her painting style emphasizes her interest in texture, color and light; and she applies neutral or earth tones thickly with a palette knife to highlight structure, form and shadow. Her compositions play with scale, placement and negative and positive spaces, creating visual interest and an individual sense of light and space.
- Friday, March 29, 5:30-7:00 p.m., Opening Reception

Works by Barbara Sparre
The Cahoon Museum of American Art is honored to be hosting an incredible exhibition of works by Cape Cod Artist Barbara Sparre in the Little Gallery, from February 1 - March 17, 2013. Opening Recption for the show will be on Friday, February 8, 2013 from 5:30-7:00pm. The Little Gallery is devoted to contemporary artists and all the works are for sale.
Barbara Sparre attended the Art Institute of Boston and spent several years in advertising and paper design. Her interest turned to needlework in the 1970s. After her work was featured in several national women’s magazines, she was given the opportunity to design work for a major needlework company.
After she moved to Cape Cod, she taught classes in weaving, quilting, needlepoint, and embellished clothing from her studios in Cotuit. She later became the first sweater designer for the Susan Bristol sportswear company. She also became interested in a technique called stumpwork, a dimensional style of embroidery that she used in unique pieces, some in collaboration with Ralph Cahoon and Bernie Woodman.
Barbara continues to create unusual pieces of art, often using shells to adorn tables, mirrors, or boxes and designing collages and assemblages from recycled found treasures.
Come join us and enjoy these whimsical assemblages.
- Friday, February 8, 5:30-7:00 p.m., Opening Reception
