Robert Hofherr
Big Gunpowder Falls, Original Painting

2020

About the Item

Artist Comments
"Derived from a personal photo, this semi-abstract work attempts to recreate a sunlit autumn stream in Fauvist color and exuberant paint handling," says artist Robert Hofherr. "Other than brushstrokes representing individual leaves in some places, detail was eliminated in favor of the expressive power of paint on canvas. One can almost hear the water rippling with eyes closed."


About the Artist
Robert Hofherr avoids depicting a landscape exactly as he sees it or as the viewer might expect. Instead, he enjoys reimagining landscapes and painting his pieces indoors at a fairly rapid pace. The works of French Fauve artists Maurice de Vlaminck and André Derain initially got him interested in painting, and also influenced his decision to not use grey in his works. During his free time he enjoys spending time with his kids, walking his dogs and taking road trips to out-of-way places in the mid-Atlantic region. He currently lives in Maryland.

  • Dawn Over the Foliage, Original Painting
    By Rebecca Klementovich
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Rebecca Klementovich offers a vibrant mountainside view filled with multi-colored trees inspired by the Washington Valley of New Hampshire. "It is my favorite painting influenced by a hike on the mountain trail," shares Rebecca. "I grew up near the mountains and have spent so much time there. The light hitting the edges of the fall trees produces a subtle glow. It is this glow produced by the sunset that I was going for."


    About the Artist
    Artist Rebecca Klementovich paints expressionist views of the New England landscape. Merging her lifelong interest in fashion, she co-founded the group Femme Fatales of the North. "We are painting in gowns on the tops of mountains and slapping paint on canvases," says Rebecca. "We are an example of who the northern women are as artists." Her colorful palette and gestural style draw influence from her long career in the fashion world. Rebecca studied fashion illustration at FIT in New York and worked as a textile designer and art director for over twenty years. After leaving New York, she moved to northern New Hampshire near Mount Washington. "The mountains are nostalgic and lyrical, and this greatly affected my landscapes." Today, she spends many hours observing the fields, forest and sky, and the changing seasons.
