Joseph Rapp
Midsummer (En Plein Air Landscape Painting of Country Mountains and Sky)

2023

About the Item

Modern en plein air landscape oil painting on canvas of countryside mountains and blue sky 'Midsummer' by Joseph Rapp 16 x 20 inches, acrylic on canvas 17.75 x 21.75 inches framed in white stained wood floater frame Joseph Rapp’s craftsmanship is apparent in the sense of stability that reinforces his vistas. He expresses the expansive moodiness of Columbia County’s scenery in terms of weather, natural light, and seasonality. This landscape painting depicts a Hudson Valley meadow in the early summer. Coniferous trees stand atop a grassy hill, behind which richly painted clouds fill the sky. While representational, Rapp's mark-making retains a geometric quality; this, paired with a vibrant color palette, makes for a subtly unique landscape image. A statement from the artist: I have lived most of my adult life in the Hudson Valley and rural areas of upstate New York. The landscape and the distinct seasons here have captured my imagination and have inspired me in so many ways. What I see feels meditative, magical, peaceful and sometimes brutal. It always feels like going home. I have attempted to capture that feeling in these paintings and I hope that you, the viewer, may see and feel some of those things as well.

  • Lotus Number Four (Hard Edge Floral Still Life Painting of Lotus Leaves)
    By Frank DePietro
    Located in Hudson, NY
    30 x 24 x 1 inches oil on canvas Inspired by close observations of the natural world and encounters with still moments that give us pause. Lines, shapes and colors encountered in nature, reveal the cycles of decay and regeneration that are life’s constant state of change. The work has a quiet, meditative quality. The subject is portrayed in a manner true to their existence in a specific time and place and selected based on considerations of visual relationships to formal elements of painting. Aspects of photo realism, hard edge and color field techniques are utilized to isolate the uniqueness of the subject’s detail, as well as emphasize flatness and illusion of depth within the two-dimensional space of the painting. About the artist: Frank DiPietro was born and raised in Scranton PA. He received a Bachelor of Art from Bloomsburg University in 1997, majoring in both Painting and Ceramics with a minor in Art History. In 2000 he earned a degree in Art Education from Moore College of Art and Design while continuing his studies in painting. Frank lived in Philadelphia for twelve years painting and teaching at several museums, art centers and schools in the region. In 2010 he and his family moved to Chester County PA, where he currently resides. Frank currently teaches painting classes and workshops at the Delaware Art Museum and Longwood Gardens...
