About the Item

New Jersey Skyline with Sailboat (Cloudy Hudson River Scene at Sunset) by Bill Sullivan c. 1980 oil on canvas 36.5 x 60 inches The late painter and publisher Bill Sullivan is well-known for his landscapes – many of which depict iconic views of the Hudson Valley – rendered in his signature technicolor palette. An artist in constant conversation with art history while wholly original, Sullivan felt determined to “take the painting…of the generation before me to places it has never gone before.” This particular work, "New Jersey Skyline with Sailboat," depicts a sailboat moving across the Hudson River with a city skyline in the background. The sailboat is positioned in the very center of the picture, and above, whimsically rendered clouds suggest the time of day, air quality, and power of the wind. The waning sunlight is reflected in a band across the water. The painting's palette of light blues and purples effects a serene atmosphere. 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.

View from the Train: Cityscape Oil Painting, View of Brooklyn
By Patty Neal
Located in Hudson, NY
View from the Train, 2019 24" X 40" x 1", oil on canvas This contemporary oil painting depicting a metropolitan view is the work of realist painter Patty Neal. The painting offers an intimate view of the city, as seen from a window, as it peeks from behind two metal structures. The dark browns and bright golds beautifully compliment the dusty blue, gray sky. Neal works highlight everyday city scenes, utilitarian infrastructure, and industrial or electrical apparatus. Artist statement: A life is an accumulation of experiences: visual, emotional and mental. By compartmentalizing these snippets of life we create boundaries. The focus of my work for many years has been the exploration of these various life aspects and how they are bound together or bound from each other. My process is often literally composed of boundaries. I make a painting by putting together multiple panels, or I segment a single panel into separate visual spaces. The works are made up of pieces or elements of city and landscape. While exploring the concepts of boundaries I play with visual “reality.” Sometimes I combine images that are upside down with those that are not and juxtapose images from different contexts. Literal boundaries, such as walls fences, expanses of water and highway median strips are also used. My intent is to invite viewers to look beyond these boundaries to see the possibilities of a connected whole.
