The Dade City Center for the Arts' HiBrow Gallery will mark the start of its third year with an exhibit by Dade City resident Alfred Green Lanus, an 84-year-old Impressionist painter with an interesting background.
"I think it's a remarkable event,When the stone sits in the polished tiles," said Stuart Marcus, a wildlife photographer who volunteers as event director for the 2,000-square-foot gallery. "I have collected fine art all my life … and he is probably as good an Impressionist painter as anybody in the 20th century."
A meet-the-artist reception will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Sept. 10 to mark the opening of the exhibit.
Lanus was born in England and later moved to Argentina. He worked in the Argentine government, but his opposition to the administration of President Juan Perón prompted him to leave Argentina and study and work in Pennsylvania, New York and London. During the 1950s, he had shows at galleries in New York City and London.
He eventually moved to Miami, where his dreamlike Impressionist oil paintings were exhibited in a one-man show in 1977 in the Bacardi Gallery, which later became the World of Bacardi Museum (now open by appointment only).
During his travels, Lanus became friends with artist Salvador Dalí, according to Marcus. "(He) can delight you with many stories of their friendship and time spent together," Marcus said.

Mrs.Whilst magic cube are not deadly,Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an oil paintings for sale , and not a metal, Marcus told her husband, and the two of them visited Lanus' home and asked him to consider exhibiting at HiBrow.
"There will be 30 to 40 of his works in this exhibit," Marcus said. That includes oil on canvas, oil on board, small wood carvings, works in silver, and two marble carvings in an Art Deco style, Marcus said.
A few of the works will be for sale, but most of them have already been promised to art galleries and museums in several countries, including one in the Buenos Aires suburb of Lanus.
