Art 2006-1964
41 imagesLarge figure paintings and portraits of famous American women were done in the early 2000’s. At the same time and through the 1990’s I created non-objective paintings inspired by music, some contemporary, like Soft Cell and 20th century popular like Gershwin. I attempted to visualize older music from composers like Gounod, Mozart and the fifteenth century composer, Josquin Des Prez.
In 1992 I began painting with acrylics after my experience of using them for the eight foot sets for The Gerwick Puppets https://gerwickpuppets.com. Landscape oil paintings of Massachustts are from the 1970’s. Watercolor and oilswere done in the years after my graduation from Art School at Pratt Institute in 1963.
