SKY AND WATER Jacqueline Gourevitch has been painting clouds since 1964. Before then, she was a landscape painter, but she found her horizon line lowering until it dropped off the canvas. A series of her “Cloud Paintings” made within the last five years are on display at Mary Ryan Gallery. At right is “Cloud Painting #212” (2004). In the gallery’s second space, David Hockney’s lithographs of his favorite subject are also on view. His 1978 series “Paper Pools,” a collaboration with painter Kenneth Tyler, consists of variations on a paper pulp series he made with furious speed. The pools vary only slightly, in the color of the water and the shadow thrown by the diving board.Above is “Lithograph of Water Made of Lines, a Green Wash, and a Light Blue Wash” (1978-80). Through Friday, June 17, Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Mary Ryan Gallery, 25 W. 57th St., between Fifth and Sixth avenues, second floor, 212-397-0669, free.
