In celebration of 100 years since the publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” the Great Neck Library is presenting the artwork of Catherine Abrams, with the title “The Great Gatsby Revisited.”
Abrams, a local artist, has been presenting her work in New York City and Long Island for a number of years. More than 14 large landscapes and small-scale portraits reconstruct the Gatsby era of the 1920s at West Egg and East Egg, today’s Great Neck Bay and Manhasset Bay, respectively.
Familiar locations overlooking Long Island Sound, the Golden Coast, are brought to life once again together with some of the novel’s characters.
Abrams is a visual artist with years of exhibiting in New York City and Long Island. She has a masters in studio and environmental art and a Ph.D. in art education from New York University. She is an active member of the LIC-Artists/Plaxall Gallery and member of the Art Students League of New York.
Abrams taught at Rhode Island College and the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and has been a faculty member at the Art Education Department of Queens College/City University of New York.
The art exhibit will be at the Great Neck Library Main Branch’s Lower-Level Gallery, located at 159 Bayview Ave. in Great Neck, from March 1 to April 30 during library hours.
