John Cook
"Pont Neuf", John Cook, Oil on Canvas, Impressionist, Paris, France, Bridge

2009

About the Item

The Pont Neuf ("New Bridge") is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, France. Pont-Neuf is a stone bridge built in different stages between 1578 and 1607. Cook captures an impressionistic yet realistic view of the historical bridge with his ability to catch the essence of light as it dances through the architecture. By drawing with a brush rather than a pencil, Cook achieves the loose and free style that characterizes his work. Never belabored, each painting reflects his passion to catch a mood with interplay of light and shade. Nothing is too large or small to attempt, as reflected in his diverse range of subject matter: from still life to portraits to landscapes, architecture and native Texas-Western imagery. “A kind of impatient realism,” is how Cook describes his paintings. Action and energy permeate his canvases and there is a spontaneous nature to his work that retells the artist’s need to quickly achieve the essence of light as it dances, pierces, careens, and bounces to find its way throughout the subject. Cook states, “as for my style, if I could do a painting in less than sixty seconds I would be pleased. Sometimes I feel the urgency to attack a canvas and capture the intensity of my mind and emotions without respecting the necessary effort for the image to be valued as ‘fine art.’” Trips to London, Paris, San Francisco and Belgium also produced many of Cook’s paintings.
