About the Item

American, b. 1950 Marla Korr attended Brooklyn College, earning both a B.A. and a M.F.A. There she studied with Philip Pearlstein, Lennart Anderson and Jimmy Ernst. She has also studied at Stevenson Academy of Traditional Painting and New York Academy of Art. Marla is a member of the National Artists League and Marine Artists of America As a full time artist, Marla Korr concentrates her vision on the rich landscapes of the Hudson River Valley, as well as the marine images and changing atmosphere of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. Her natural ability and classical training enable her to express the subtle changes in light and atmosphere producing paintings which are sensitive and powerful. Being influenced by both Classical Realism and Impressionism, her paintings combine a range of feelings with technical excellence and craftsmanship. Marla also teaches a group of students, imparting to them the knowledge and methods she has practiced and the importance of integrity in art. ARTIST’S STATEMENT: Painting is my passion. I was surrounded by art for as long as I can remember, having grown up in a family of artists. My love of landscape painting was inspired by my father whose reverence of nature took our family each summer from New York City to the lush environs of the Hudson River Valley. In painting a landscape, I begin the process “en plein air” where I can capture what I see and feel in the moment. This immediate experience and sensory memory prepares me to develop my impressionistic sketches into larger paintings. As a life long resident of New York City, I paint the urban landscape with continued fascination of its iconic images. I also spend significant time painting on Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard where the marine imagery and magical atmosphere is my muse. Whether the subject matter is rooted in the urban, marine or rural landscape, my vision is impacted by the transformative quality of light. My intention as an artist is to encourage you to have your own intimate experience of the paintings. My hope is that you will revisit them with continued pleasure and surprise.
