Bernarducci Meisel Gallery, in New York City, will feature this exhibition of watercolors by Susan Sykes through April 28. These paintings, inspired by photographs from the 1930s and 1940s, are imbued with a compelling charm and nostalgia. Salvaged from historical societies and local museums, the vintage black-and-white photos are revived through Sykes’ own realist vision. The artist brings these images of a bygone era—including architecture, automobiles, and fashions of the time—to life through the use of vivid colors and Photo Realistic detail.
