Welcome to the Artists' Atelier in Brookline!

At first look you will find a deep appreciation for Spain from artists like Francisco Goya to Manuel Hernandez Mompo, a major figure in Spanish abstract art, to the rich tradition of Spanish ceramics.

El Agarrotado (The Garroted Man) circa 1778-1785. This is one of Goya's earliest etchings done when he was still exploring the technique, while the subject anticipates his later series Disasters of War

Two plates from the Disasters of War: created between 1810 and 1820, this series served as a powerful and unflinching protest against the brutality and futility of war.

Plate 81: Fiero Monstruo! (Fierce Monster!) depicts a monstrous, dog-like creature with corpses falling from its mouth.

Plate 82: This is the Truth

Manuel Hernandez Mompo (1927-1992) dedicated his work to the search for the minimum expression required to communicate, his imagery using essential elements like signs, symbols, and light is poetic.

Mompo’s daughter Bibi is here too, her stylized depiction of an animal in a landscape make you want to dive deeper into her work.

These hidden gems tell powerful stories!

The Folk Art and Carvings of Reverend Herman Hayes:

Explore the whimsical and deeply philosophical wood carvings of Reverend Herman Hayes. Before finding his calling to preach and whittle, Hayes was a boxer, a Marine engine mechanic in Okinawa, and a door-to-door salesman. His unique pieces reflect his mission to "redeem" the wood, transforming scraps into art that evokes joy and laughter.

Hayes’s work is a show of mischievous babies, giant women, and gravity-defying figures designed to help viewers "laugh away dire circumstances." Each carving is a testament to his belief in redemption and the power of humor in art.
