Long-Lost Paintings

The first member of his family to attend college, Ralph Cuomo was admitted to Columbia University, where he majored in painting, in 1947. He was influenced by the emerging New York School as well as by Modernist masters such as Cezanne, Picasso, Braque, and Matisse.

Cuomo continued to paint over the years, developing a style marked by an otherworldliness — captured, set apart, and isolated. He died at his family’s farmhouse in East Moriches in 2002. Several years later, when the house was bought by his niece and great-nephew, hundreds of canvases were found carefully stacked along the walls of his studio.

For the first time since their discovery, Cuomo’s paintings will be exhibited, at Keyes Art in Sag Harbor. The show opens on Saturday with a reception from 5 to 7 and will continue through Nov. 1.

Grief and Death

“Reclaiming Death: Art, Ritual, and Advocacy at End of Life,” an exhibition featuring personal and culturally significant ways of relating to grief and death, is at Ma’s House & BIPOC Art Studio on the Shinnecock Reservation through Nov. 30. A reception will be held on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.

“As an artist-curator whose practice is focused on death and dying, I’m deeply invested in the work of my peers,” said Brianna L. Hernandez, the director of curation at Ma’s House. “Many of us share an ongoing process of reclaiming our cultural traditions, language, and social permissions of grief, mourning, and memorialization from their taboos and industrialized systems.”

The show includes work by Jeremy Dennis, Jenie Gao, Jonathan Herrera Soto, Resham Mantri, mk, Nirmal Raja, Denise Silva-Dennis, Adrienne Terry, A young Yu in collaboration with Nicholas Oh, and Ms. Hernandez.

Inspired From Within

“Out Look: Juxtaposition of Inside and Outside Worlds,” a solo show of work by Cati Van Milders, will be at Ashawagh Hall in Springs from tomorrow through Sunday, with a reception set for tomorrow from 5 to 8 p.m.

Based in Sag Harbor, Ms. Van Milder has focused for two decades on her internal world. Through meditation and hypno-introspection, she lets her impressions, tensions, and emotions express themselves through drawings, prints, collages, and ceramics, The content of which is visceral, abstract, and intuitive.

Bridging Past and Present

“A Nod,” a group show organized by Haim Mizrahi, is at LTV Studios in Wainscott through Oct. 14. A reception will take place Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m.

“Each artist’s work is solid, intelligent, playful, and immediate,” said Mr. Mizrahi. “The exhibition highlights how these artists engage with and reinterpret traditional themes, bridging past and present through their unique artistic voices.”
