Frank Anthony Smith |
|
Bad Lumber |
|
Frank Anthony Smith (American, 1939 - )
A Utah native, Smith taught at the University of Utah from 1966 to 2001 as a member of the painting and drawing faculty. A retrospective of his work "Inner Realities, Outer Illusions" was held at the Utah Museum of Fine Art in 2005. This work puts contemporary realism though the paces - of surrealism, illusionism, trompe l'oeil, and who knows quite what else -- in a spirited and painterly fashion. Bad lumber. Good painting.

Erle Loran |
|
Left Coast Marine |
|
Erle Loran (American, 1905 - 1999)Minnesota-born, -raised and –educated, Loran was a devotee of the work of Paul Cezanne as a young artist and lived in the Aix-en-Provence studio of the master during a four year stay in France from 1926 to 1930. He joined the UC Berkeley faculty in 1936, and became a leading exponent of the Berkeley School with its emphasis on abstraction, texture, line and color. His own work progressed from colorlful lyrical abtractions inspired by his study of Cezanne to increasingly abstracted land and seascapes in the 1940’s and finally to works in the 1960’s that were Op and Pop art influenced. Among his students were Richard Diebenkorn, Ynez Johnston, and Elmer Bischoff. Loran painted and exhibited extensively throughout his teaching career, winning numerous medals along the way. His works can be found in numerous museums including the Smithsonian and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
