Modern, horizontal landscape oil painting of a large volcano, Cotopaxi, in the Ecuadorian Andes. The oil painting is very colorful with highly saturated hues to depict a sunset descending over the enormous volcano and the valley below. The artist was celebrated for his sunset landscapes, with this painting being a perfect example. The vivid red, orange, and yellow hues of the descending sun contrast beautifully against the purple clouds and dark silhouette of the snow capped volcano. Lofty gray clouds dissipate below the volcano, through the mountains and into the expansive valley below. The brushwork is very smooth, with little texture built upon the surface. The signature is located in the lower left corner. This landscape is a perfect statement piece, with horizontal measurements of 49 x 79 inches. Thin wood stripping, painted black, frames the edges of the painting.
About the artist:
Sullivan started out in the 1960s as a New York City painter, and was an integral part of the New York scene. Sullivan’s works are in such collections as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of the City of New York, the New York Public library and the Albany Institute of History and Art. He has been in countless group exhibitions and locally, his works have been exhibited in a show curated by poet John Ashbery at the St. Charles Hotel in Hudson, and at Carrie Haddad Gallery on Warren Street.
About the work by John Ashbery:
With only a tinge of irony, Bill Sullivan makes new the vast spaces and swooning optimism of nineteeth-century Luminist painting. Reaffirming the contemplation of nature as its own reward, he also sets new tasks for painting and undertakes them with compelling eagerness. While there has been a tendency among some contemporary artists to present a revisionist view of the "great outdoors" of nineteenth-century landscape painters, Sullivan has no satirical agenda. After spending several years in South America amid the landscapes that attracted Frederic Edwin Church and Martin Heade, among others, he refined and strengthened this awesome imagery after returning to New York. A certain surreality floats though these vaporous visions of Columbia, though this may just be the result of Sullivan's careful documentation of scenes that looked unreal to begin with.
