About the Item
Hudson River, Frozen (Minimal Winter Landscape Oil Painting on Canvas)
36.6 x 60.5 inches
oil on canvas, unframed (thin wood stripping only)
Contemporary Hudson River winter landscape oil painting, horizontally oriented. A snowy, iced over river is lined is set against the pale, grey Catskill Mountain range with a clouded white and blue sky stretching above the horizon. A black, abstract motif resembling the pattern of a textile stretches along the side of the canvas representing the ice that has started to crack near the river's banks. This work is a minimal and graphic interpretation that captures the bare essence of the landscape.
Bill Sullivan’s sublime use of color exalts the cityscapes of Midtown Manhattan, the mountains and volcanoes of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Andes, and the Hudson River Valley. Inspired by the Luminist painters like Frederic Church, Sanford Gifford, and the painterly realists of the New York School, Sullivan set himself apart in his generation. He translated his own vision of these places into what John Ashbery called “a certain surreality.’ Sullivan weaves abstract passages of gradating color between striated clouds that stretch the length of the horizon. These surreal sky patterns are a recognizable feature in most of his work, a combination of design and color that is otherworldly. Reviewing Sullivan’s retrospective exhibit at the Albany Institute of History and Art in Albany in 2006, Alfred Corn wrote in Art in America, “Comparing these paintings with actual scenes, you see that Sullivan is willing to alter scale and detail so as to make a more coherent picture; realism has to make concessions to design and expression.”
Sullivan was born in New Haven, CT in 1942. As a young man he attended Silvermine College and The University of Pennsylvania studying with Fairfield Porter, Neil Welliver, Jane Freilicher and privately with Josef and Anni Albers. His first solo show of figures and still life paintings was in 1970 at Bowery Gallery, after which he further developed an interest in painting landscapes. Sullivan travelled to South America for several years with partner Jaime Manrique, which resulted in a solo show at Bogota’s Museo de Arte Moderno in 1978. Sullivan returned to New York City where he continued to exhibit his work in various galleries. He eventually moved to Hudson in 2002 until his passing in 2010.
About the artist:
Bill 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 is currently exhibited by the seller.
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.

Cheviot in Winter (Country Landscape Painting of Hudson River in the Winter)
By John Kelly
Located in Hudson, NY
Impressionistic landscape painting of the Hudson River during the wintertime in tones of grey, white, slate, blue, dark brown and green
Oil on linen, 22 x 28 inches
John Kelly approaches the Hudson Valley landscape with the eye of an architect and the hand of an impressionist. With intense attention paid to form and light, Kelly nevertheless manages to abstract the landscape just slightly, breaking earth, sky, and atmosphere down to their most elemental qualities. In this painting, a body of water, solidified into ice, stretches toward a murky treeline. The painting is composed primarily in a palette of pale blue, gray, and pink, with white, dark green, and gray accents.
About the artist:
Hudson Valley based painter John Kelly received his education from the Art Institute of Boston and Buffalo State. He has been exhibiting around the northeastern United States since the 1970s.
