Must See Painting Shows: May
May is traditionally the last month of the art world “season.” As summer looms, rhythms change and many galleries choose to mount group exhibitions instead of solo shows. It makes sense, after all, why try to promote an individual’s work when your clients are scattered to various vacation spots around the world? Fortunately, many galleries are ending the season with a bang and presenting A-level solo shows by artists of all career points.

Artist Headshots: Stay or Go Away?
Although we don't have any immediate plans to change the format, in the office we often talk about ways to improve the experience for our readers. The latest question on the table relates to the headshots we provide with each New American Paintings artist spread. Some feel like the photo of the artist is fun and compliments the biographical information provided, while others think it takes up too much space and doesn't serve a purpose. What do you think? After the Jump, use our poll to join in the conversation and let us know what you think in the comments section!

MUST SEE PAINTINGS SHOWS: MARCH
There are dozens of strong painting exhibitions on view in March. In the interest of full disclosure, I not only publish New American Paintings, but I have a gallery in Boston as well. I am very fortunate to have an show of new paintings by Peter Opheim this month. Opheim focused his energies on abstraction for more than two decades, but in 2010 his work took a radical shift. While he begins each work with by creating of a small clay model, his paintings are anything but “still-lifes”; rather, they are extraordinary mediations on the medium of paint and the activity of painting.
