Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Green is the color of the day – the wearing of the green, shamrocks, green beer, a river of green, etc. I’m not Irish, but after visiting Ireland a few years ago, I feel a kinship with and affection for that beautiful country and its people, and a new appreciation for their national holiday. And I’m wearing green!

Green Symbolism

“Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.”

Pedro Calderon de la Barca, Spanish poet and playwright, 1600 – 1681

Art at Argo’s Presents: depARTure – The Legacy of Toshiko Takaezu Through her Students and Apprentices

This spring, Art at Argo’s proudly presents depARTure, a collaborative exhibition celebrating the legacy of Toshiko Takaezu through the work of her former apprentices. Running from March 1 through May 31, this exhibit brings together artists shaped by Toshiko’s mentorship, featuring a stunning collection of ceramics and paintings that highlight the diverse artistic voices she nurtured.

The exhibit was initiated by Argo & Lehne employee Andy Rahe, a former apprentice and longtime collaborator of Toshiko. His vision was to create an exhibition that not only honors her influence but also showcases the evolution of the artists she guided. Each artist in depARTure brings a unique interpretation of Toshiko’s teachings, making this a truly dynamic and engaging exhibit.
