The Mestre Fernando Rodrigues School of Arts, in Lagoa, will host the Painting Exhibition “The Algarve: Untouched and Genuine”, by Joan Lemmo, which will be on display at the Manuela Vale Gallery, from the 13th of July to the 1st of September.
The exhibition invites you to revisit the images that once dominated this land of extraordinary beauty in this retrospective art exhibition on the work of artist, actress and filmmaker Joan Lemmo (1926-2020).
For 40 years, Joan Lemmo captured the raw beauty of the Algarve in her paintings. While growing up in the boroughs of New York City, she became an award-winning watercolor artist and majored in Graphic Design at the Pratt Institute, in 1946. He later received a Bachelor of Art from California State University, graduated in Production Design at American Film Institute and was an actress in “Rocky”, “Karate Kid” and other films for American cinema and television.
Lemmo made Lagoa her second home and became known for her watercolor portraits. She even took classes at the Escola de Artes de Lagoa, «which allowed her to further refine her talent and vision», says the municipality.
The opening of the exhibition takes place on the 13th of July, at 18 pm.
The exhibition has free admission and can be visited from Monday to Friday, in the morning, from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm, and in the afternoon, from 14:30 pm to 17:00 pm.
