When Edwina von Gal, the landscape designer who founded the Perfect Earth Project, throws a party, you can bet that the music will be top-notch, and the lineup for her nonprofit’s biennial family picnic and concert on Labor Day weekend is a case in point.

At least one of the dresses in the exhibition, above, should have a knotted opera-length pearl necklace, which Sara Murphy wore down her back as a signature look.  Gerald Murphy’s Chinese dragon robe, below, looks as vibrant as it did when he wore it. Artifacts of a Fabled Life: The Murphys in Paris and East Hampton

We are all accustomed to seeing boldface names associated with the South Fork: Alec, Jimmy, Gwyneth, Sir Paul, et al. Yet, there is something fresh and pulse-quickening about the faces and names of a different century: Pablo, Jean, Cole, Man Ray, Ernest, Scott, and Zelda lighting up the current exhibition “Living Well Is the Best Revenge: A Jazz Age Fable of Sara and Gerald Murphy” at Clinton Academy in East Hampton.

“Idle Hours” by William Merritt Chase was painted on the East End in 1894 and is part of a retrospective of his work at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. 	Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth Chase: Renowned Master of East End Light

Studio or plein-air, Tile Club member or Abstract Expressionist, painters have praised the South Fork’s light across many disciplines and movements. All of them agree it casts a certain spell, and few places can match the body of remarkable artistic evidence we have to back it up.

Edward Ruscha’s “Damn Mad Open Book,” above, and Gerhard Richter’s “Wiesenfeld,” below, reflect the influence of Minimalism upon artists not directly associated with that movement. Less Is More: Minimalism Revisited at Guild Hall

Minimal Art does not have the strong connection to the East End that landscape painting, Abstract Expressionism, or Pop do. And, with the exception of Dan Flavin, Minimalism does not characterize the production of artists who have lived and worked here since the mid-1970s. It might, therefore, come as a surprise that “Aspects of Minimalism: Selections From East End Collections” will open at Guild Hall in East Hampton on Saturday with a reception from 4 to 6 p.m. and continue through Oct. 10.

Paul Alexander Nolan ‘My Fair Lady’ Has It, Mostly, All

I think it’s fair to say that “My Fair Lady” is one of the great examples of the American musical’s golden era (that period from the mid-1950s through the ’60s). This 1956 work has just about everything — humor, romance, and some trenchant social satire, including a feminist motif that must have seemed daring for the ’50s. And it was composed by no less than the classic writing team of Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe.

Ben Cash (Viggo Mortensen) leads his children in a forced march through the woods as part of their survival training in “Captain Fantastic.” Below, his character enjoyed a quiet moment with his daughter on the steps of their cabin. 'Captain Fantastic' And How You Raise Your Kids

Jamie Patricof was disappointed he could not be in East Hampton for the opening of the film “Captain Fantastic” last Friday. Not because he hadn’t seen it; with Lynette Howell Taylor, he co-produced the film and had in fact seen it countless times. However, having spent summers and weekends here for much of his life, he fondly remembers the theater before it was a multiplex.
