About the Item

Brian Cobble’s landscapes tend to particularly focus on the interplay of man and his surroundings, whether natural or built. A signature attention to the liminal aspects of a scene, rendered in astonishing detail, creates an emotional resonance within his compositions. A retrospective catalogue about Cobble’s work, published by Valley House Gallery in 2010, includes the essay “Brian Cobble: The Poetry of Facts” by Roger Winter. In this essay, Cobble’s former professor writes: “Though Albuquerque is Cobble’s home, one would make a mistake to think of him as a New Mexican painter in the current typical use of that label. […] Like Walt Whitman thinking of the sea while writing about other matters, Cobble’s work is influenced by the awe-inspiring light of the desert and by vernacular architecture in small New Mexican towns even as he translates this influence into subjects in places as far ranging as New York or Nebraska. […] His vision is, as in Edward Hopper’s definition of art, “nature seen through a personality.” Cobble’s is a personality formed by the forces of a specific place.” Brian Cobble’s works are included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, the El Paso Museum of Art, and the Tyler Museum of Art in Texas. His work has been exhibited at The McKinney Avenue Contemporary in Dallas, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, and the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. Cobble was awarded the top prize (Founders Award) by the Pastel Society of America in New York in 2012, selected from over 1,000 entries. Cobble was born in Ohio in 1953, and received his MFA from Southern Methodist University. The outer dimensions, including the frame, are 19 7/8 x 37 5/8 inches.
