Joseph Rapp
Road to Germantown (En Plein Air Landscape Painting of Snowy Winter Countryside)

2023

About the Item

Modern en plein air winter landscape oil painting on canvas of a white snow-blanketed countryside '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 on a peaceful winter afternoon. Coniferous trees stand atop a hill blanketed with fresh snow, behind a calm light grey winter sky. While representational, Rapp's mark-making retains a geometric quality; this, paired with a subdued 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.

  • Early Morning St. AM 1987 (Impressionist Figurative City Scene by William Clutz)
    By William Clutz
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Early Morning St. AM 1987 (Impressionist Figurative City Scene by William Clutz) Impressionist Painting of A Man Crossing a Street in Manhattan in the Early Morning Sunlight Colorful Painted by William Clutz in 1987 50" X 40" x 2", oil on canvas This figurative oil on canvas was painted in 1987 by William Clutz as part of a series of works called "Crossings". These paintings were a study of NYC dwellers engaging in the simple, daily activity of crossing the street. Clutz discovers the extraordinary in the ordinary, simply by studying how the sunlight bounces and reflects off the human form. In New York in the early 50's and 60's,, abstract expressionism was the orthodox approach to art at the time. However, Clutz was committed to his personal style that focused on abstracted human figures within urban tableaux. Working in a context of artists who challenged abstract expressionism's popularity in New York, Clutz established himself as a significant proponent of abstract figuration. His paintings focus on human figures within the urban environment, often exposing the transfiguration of his subjects as they travel through the complex light of city streets or summer parks, as shown in two of his early works. Clutz's interest in working from direct observation of urban life was influenced by a long-standing interest in German Expressionism, as well as artists like Henri Matisse, Arshile Gorky, and Nicholas De Stael...

  • 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...
