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

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.
