Richard Maury |
|
Table Top Still Life with Fish |
|
RICHARD MAURY (American, 1935 - )
From his perch in Florence, Italy, where he moved as a young man in 1960, American-born Richard Maury has pursued an artistry drenched in traditional painting techniques that has made him something of a solitary – and quietly heroic – figure. As Americans at mid-century exalted art works that prized newness and innovation, Maury has produced an astounding body of work – still lifes, interiors, nudes, portraits – that confounds those who call realist painting passé. He has not been overlooked; Thomas Hoving named Maury as one of a handful of 20th century artists whom he thought connoisseurs a 100 years hence will pronounce American masters.

Fred Nichols |
|
Autumn |
|
Fred Nichols (American, 1948 -- ). Fred Nichols trained at the Unversity of Virginia (B.A.), Pratt Institute (M.F.A. 1973) and the Ecoles des Beaux Arts inFontainebleau, France (1969). A contemporary realist, Nichols currently maintains a gallery in Barboursville, Virgina. This painting is a stunning example of the artist's work, here in a very large format. It is also, apparently, representative of Nichols work as a whole and evidence of his success in achieving his stated objectives as an artist. His artist statement notes:
"The objective of my art is to recreate the natural world that surrounds and forms us...Through my study of the wilderness, I hope to renew an interest and desire not only to protect, but also appreciate, the natural world.
My work is concerned with beauty and the picturesque landscape: the clear, blue day that warms the soul; the waterfall that flows with sound and movement; the peacefulness of an afternoon stream; the colors of a tree changing seasons. The challenge is to present these experiences in a way that engages the viewer....My method is to go into the wilderness and photograph, returning to the studio to paint. Working with the photograph allows me to capture a place, one moment in time, one season at a time. The photograph is the starting point of a search for a new reality..."
"I want my art to be positive and uplifting," the artist concludes. "I want it to wake people up to the natural world around them. I want it to give them a respite from the stresses of everyday life." This painting succeeds on all these counts. See also www.frednichols.com

Wellington Jarard Reynolds |
|
Moonrise |
|
Wellington Jarard Reynolds (American, 1869 - 1949).
Illinois-born Reynolds studied in Paris and Munich before returning to Chicago at the turn of the century, where he taught and painted for the next 30 years. He exhibited widely in the US and Paris, earning medals along the way, and his works, though rare in the marketplace, can be found in numerous museums and public collections throughout the US.
This work reminds one of (and holds up to!) the best Ipswich work of Arthur Wesley Dow in its composition, mood, and color, and is probably contemporaneous with that work.

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.
