About the Item

A tall, fair-haired figure wrapped in a light blue towel stands on the bank of inviting, calm water. Dark green trees in a forest, and mountains in the distance on the horizon reflect on the water's rippling surface in this peaceful landscape painting in oil on linen by KK Kozik. Signed on verso. KK Kozik is a landscape painter, a figurative painter, and an interiors/still life painter. Many of these paintings veer towards painterly abstraction. Her exploration and mastery of these diverse genres is evidence of her fluid and continuous process of evolution. Kozik is always searching, pushing, and discovering. Her work is dedicated to finding the dynamic balance between mastery of technique and cognizance of art history while creating and solving new pictorial challenges. Her paintings are compositionally and emotionally complex and deeply rewarding. Her work has been featured in Art in America, The New York Times, Timeout New York and London, Artnews, Harper’s Magazine, The Village Voice, The New Yorker, and Artforum, to name a few. Among her professional honors are fellowships from the state of Connecticut and at the Weir Farm Trust, as well as from Syracuse University and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation. She has created permanent public commissions for Fitchburg State University in conjunction with the Fitchburg Art Museum and for the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority Arts for Transit program at the Rockaway Park/Beach 116th St Subway Station. Her work has been shown extensively in the US and in Europe, including at the New Britain Museum of American Art, New Britain, CT, where she was awarded first out of 1000 artists in their 2018 Nor’easter survey show. Her work is in the collections of Smithsonian Museum, William Benton Museum, Florida State Museum of Fine Arts, The Rowman and Littlefield Publishing Group, Copelouzos Family Art Museum, Athens, Greece, General Electric Corporation, Great Valley Corporate Center, Harvard Business School, and the Library of Congress.

  • Large Colorado Modernist Oil Painting Wharf Street Plein Air New Orleans Street
    By Joellyn Duesberry
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Joellyn T Duesberry Wall on Wharf Street, #513, New Orleans, LA 1976. Oil on linen Dimensions: (Frame) H 50.5" x W 66.5". sight size 50 x 66" Joellyn Toler Duesberry (1944 – 2016) was a plein air landscape artist who worked in oils. She said that her paintings echo the work of John Marin and Milton Avery. Of her art, Duesberry said, "I am not interested in a realist painting, I am not interested in an abstract painting. I am interested in the tension." Joellyn Duesberry was born on June 30, 1944 in Richmond, Virginia. Growing up in rural Virginia instilled in her a love for the land. She said, "All my life I think I've unconsciously tried to recreate the place where bliss or terror first came to me. Both emotions seemed so strong that I had to locate them outside of myself, in the land. This goes back to a childhood habit of living in rural Virginia and seeking woods and creeks and lakes for solitary refuge; places where I could sketch and paint." She decided to start painting at age ten after being given a pair of red tennis shoes and walking on the beach, inspired by the colorful juxtaposition of sand, shadow, and shoe. Soon thereafter she decided that "Women artists existed and she needed to be among them." She received a BA with Distinction, Phi Beta Kappa, in art history and painting, from Smith College in 1966. In that year she was awarded a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. While at Smith, she "honed her skills by making countless copies of masterworks." She took her master's degree at New York University Institute of Fine Arts. Despite her degrees, she is considered to be a self-taught artist. Joellyn Duesberry was a plein air painter, who began "her canvases outdoors on an easel and finished] them in the studio, frequently making monotypes in between." She moved to Denver in 1985, and embraced the Colorado landscape in her art. In that year she received an Individual Painting Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to work with Richard Diebenkorn. In 1997, Duesberry won the Benjamin Altman Landscape Prize from the National Academy of Design. While she had a World Views residency with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) from 1998-1999, Duesberry painted city studies in studio space in some vacant offices of the World Trade Center's North Tower. She says that, because of her connection to the World Trade Center, the tone of her painting saddened after 9/11. In 2005, a PBS documentary was made of Joellyn Duesberry's life, work, and creative process titled Joellyn Duesberry: Dialogue with the Artist. Her works are held by institutions such as Metropolitan Museum of Art and Smith College Museum of Art. Publications 1998: A Covenant of Seasons: Monotypes by Joellyn T.
