Edward Butler Art
b. 1948
Edward A. Butler (b. 1948, Philadelphia, PA) completed his BFA at the Philadelphia College of Art. A passionate painter from a young age, Butler's subject matter varies from landscapes to animal portraits to still life. The constant in his work is the drama of light and shadow, along with a strong affinity for simplicity and beauty. Butler strives to convey a contemporary point of view while utilizing the techniques of the old masters. In the artist's words: "Painting for me is a process of selection and dismissal. I endeavor to accept nothing that fails to please the eye. Within that framework, I can be quite literal or work from a mix of educated observation and fantasy. When I am successful, the result, the finished painting, should seem inevitable."
His work is represented in numerous private collections.(Biography provided by Gallery Henoch)

Peach Lilies (Contemporary Still Life of Vibrant Tiger Lilies, Oil on canvas)
By Dan Rupe
Located in Hudson, NY
Peach Lilies (Contemporary Still Life of Vibrant Tiger Lilies, Oil on canvas) by Dan Rupe
22 x 22 inches
oil on linen canvas
Signed on reverse
Artist Dan Rupe paints only from life, his composition ruled by his intuitive sense of formal order. He begins covering his canvas with a deep crimson wash. This ground gives his brilliant pure color , applied with an expressive, direct gesture, an electric charge. No matter how often or how long one looks at a Rupe painting, it is always the present tense. The tone of his palette, the freshness and clarity of primary colors, reflects an optimistic attitude, an intrinsic love of life.
In this work, three vibrant peach colored lilies open their blooms amidst bright green grasses. Rupe succeeds at capturing the immediacy of his subjects be it flowers, buildings or people.
Read below for an amusing profile written about the artist in 2003:
You‘ve likely seen him on the streets of Hudson, seated before his canvas in a multi-colored paint daubed t-shirt and shorts, his straw hat providing shade for all but his tanned forearms and knees. His splattered Technicolor Walkman tape player...
