Virginia True
American, 1900-1989
Virginia True first came to Colorado in 1928 as part of her travels around the American West, during which she painted and sketched prolifically. She had been trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, where she would have been exposed mainly to realist painting. Upon coming to Colorado, she was introduced to Southwestern Modernism, which began at once to influence her work. Her interest in Western subjects, namely landscapes, mining towns, cowboys and native plants, informed her work both in Colorado and throughout her life. True was educated in Missouri and taught art for four years in Indianapolis before moving to Boulder, Colorado in 1929. She taught art at the University of Colorado, Boulder and was the President of the Boulder Artist’s Group. In 1926 she left Colorado to teach at Cornell in Ithaca, New York. Her exhibition venues included the Denver Art Museum, the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors, and the Carnegie Institute.

Expressionist Landscape by Pawel Kontny
By Pawel Kontny
Located in Pasadena, CA
Artist Pawel August Kontny (1923-2002)
Stunning and expressive landscape. This artist had a minimal approach with the paint, giving us transparency and texture. Thick lines create building outlines.
To get to the desired texture, Kontny used a mix of dust marble with oil paint.
An earlier piece by Kontny. Made before he moved out of Germany into Denver.
In 1960, Pawel Kontny decided to relocate to the Mile High City from Nuremberg, Germany. He had enjoyed a successful career thereafter World War II but, like many artists before him, he quickly became enamored of Colorado’s healthful and sunny climate, the freedom of its wide-open spaces, and the Rocky Mountains that reminded him of the Bavarian Alps. In the early 1960s, he was one of only a few European-born professional artists in the state, a select group that included Herbert Bayer (1900-1985), a member of the prewar Bauhaus in Weimar and Dessau, Germany, and Roland Detre...
