Dan Muller
'A Summer Landscape, ' Original Watercolor Painting, Signed

1993

About the Item

This is a small and intimate example of the watercolor paintings of Dan Muller. The image shows an expressive landscape with a saturated blue sky, red rocks, and green and yellow foliage. Muller uses a painterly approach to the landscape, allowing the hand of the artist and the materials to come into the forefront rather than allowing the Romantic tradition of landscape painting to dominate. The image is thus in line with the landscapes of early American modernists like John Marin and Max Weber. 8.5 x 11 inches, artwork 13.13 x 17.13 inches, frame Mounted in a shadow-box style frame, built to conservation standards using 100 percent archival materials and within in a 1.5-inch deep medium wood moulding. Overall excellent condition; some planar distortion to paper original to artwork; minor scratches on frame. Born in 1960 in Miles City, Montana, Dan spent most of his childhood in the Southern and central regions of Wisconsin. Dan's work is centered on the idea of using successive layers of transparent and opaque pigment along with pigment-impregnated rice paper to create a density of color that would not be possible solely by direct painting on the surface of the paper itself. He works to achieve an interplay of shapes and colors which will exist with equal freedom within that defined space, while striving to obtain a feeling of expansiveness no matter what the actual scale piece is.

  • "Basilica" - Venice - Architectural Watercolor Painting - Turner
    By Mclean Jenkins
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    "Basilica" is a graphite and watercolor painting of an architectural detail of the San Marco Basilica in Venice, Italy. This piece is 20.5 by 16.25 inches framed. McLean Jenkins is inspired by the work of JMW Turner, Richard Diebenkorn and Louis Khan. McLean Jenkins is a practicing architect with McAlpine and his work derives from and celebrates the classical forms of his trade. Working in graphite, ink and watercolor, McLean employs a gestural approach that frees his hand to explore a subject’s essence. His compositions rely on the quick, decisive sketch and are then given over to the whims and splashes of watercolor. Spontaneity, movement and spirit are all emphasized and his drawings collectively form their own narrative of his passion for architecture. The city of Venice has captured McLean’s imagination since his first trip there as a 12 year old boy. Over the years a kind of courtship with the city has evolved, and its impact has motivated and sustained his development as both architect and artist. His work depicting the city has been recognized within the architectural profession by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation in its award to McLean of the J. Neel Reid...
