Worth a Look Worth a Look (August 19, 2005)

ART

'Lieder in Color'

One painter comes from Japan, the other from Germany. But both Midori McCabe and Gloria Takla share a love of music, and their work that will be on display at Gallery House from Aug. 23 through Sept. 17 was all inspired by the compositions of Franz Schubert.

The exhibit, "Lieder in Color," includes abstract works by McCabe and figurative and landscape paintings by Takla. Gallery House is located at 320 California Ave. in Palo Alto and is open Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, call (650) 326-1668 or go to www.galleryhouse2.com.

The gallery is at 534 Ramona St. Call (650) 322-5324 or go to www.terceragallery.com for more information.
