The Michigan Art Gallery at Schmidt's Antiques proudly announces the opening of a major retrospective exhibition featuring over fifty never-before-seen European and American landscape paintings as well as portraits by renowned Ann Arbor artist Leon Makielski (1885–1974).
The European works were painted during Makielski’s early years studying and traveling across the continent, primarily in Paris. The American works include atmospheric scenes from Vermont, painted during travels to New England around the time Makielski met poet Robert Frost, and landscapes from Virginia, drawn from visits to his family in Appalachia.
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 6th, 2025 / 3PM-7PM
Public Exhibition & Sale: Open every Saturday until October 11th / 9AM-5PM
Works will be available for purchase in the gallery and online at www.michiganartgallery.com.
