American, b. 1938
Fran Bull (1938-Present)
Fran Bull is an American artist who divides her time between the U.S. and Barcelona, Spain. She was known originally for her Photorealism paintings during the 1970s and 80s.
Bull began her art studies at The Newark Musuem in New Jersey, going on to study painting at Bennington College. Eventually earning an M.A. degree from New York University in Fine Art and Education.
Since the mid 1990s, she began to explore other media. This included performance art, sculpture, mixed media, and printmaking. Working in collaboration with master printer Virgili Barbara at Taller 46, has created numerous bodies of work. Picasso, Tapies, Miro, and Saura also worked at Taller 46 with the founder and father of Virgili, Joan Barbara.
Bull on what her influences and inspirations are: “The whole world, everything I see, read, learn, hear, all the art ever made, all the music, poetry and literature – what James Hillman calls the Gloria Duplex – the glorious, amazing, and paradoxical array of everything.”
In 2005 she founded Gallery in-the-Field. A fine art gallery and performance space. The mission is to present the work of provocative, innovative living artists.to

Bob (Robert) Stanley (1932-1997) was a painter, photographer and printmaker whose early work was figurative painting about contemporary American life. In the 1960s and early 1970s, he based his paintings on photographs, which he manipulated from black and white or silkscreen colored shapes. In the early 1960's, he began to base his paintings on images clipped from newspapers and magazines, following the example of Pop artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, who would become his brother-in-law. Enlarged and often simplified to two vibrant saturated colors Stanley's images could be reduced to the abstract or be powerfully explicit. His preferred subjects, including rock stars, athletes and pornography, always seemed to grate against the pretenses of high art. Similar in bold use of color to Malcolm Morley. In the late 1960's Mr. Stanley started using his own photographs, basing paintings on images of tree branches or the ground, and also using pictures of life-drawing models at the School of Visual Arts.
