Peter Falk, "Who Was Who in American Art"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
George Cherepov (1909-1987) was known for painting an exceptionally broad range of subjects. He was a vigorous painter, finely attuned to nature with a highly developed sensitivity for mood, color and composition.
Born in Lithuania, educated in Riga, Latvia and Yugoslavia, he traveled widely in Central Europe during the years of WWII turmoil. During this time he painted everything from a portrait of King Alexander of Yugoslavia to movie posters and advertisements
In 1952 he was able to bring his wife Klara, a noted handweaver and designer, and my mother along with several members of his family to America where they ultimately settled in Greenwich, CT. He quickly fell in love with the New England countryside, especially the brilliant displays of fall foliage. Moving between his homes in Connecticut and Vermont, he produced countless canvasses of the various moods of these captivating landscapes. His theory was always to work "on the spot" "en plein air' and there are many photos of him bundled up in a woolen winter coat with his signature French painter's beret painting away at a canvas in some bucolic scene. My grandmother was often a few yards away-equally bundled-patiently working on her knitting or hemming a woven wall-hanging.
Cherepov quickly established himself as a popular painter in his area and gave exhibitions in Vermont, Princeton, Philadelphia, and New York. Between 1958 and 1970, he gave ten one man shows at New York's Grand Central Galleries. As a teacher, he worked in Greenwich at the North Branch Club, in Mount Snow Vermont, at the Asilomar Institute in California, and through Painting Holidays.
In 1971 he authored "Discovering Oil Painting" and coauthored "The Oil Painting Book" through Watson-Gupthill NY.
He was a member of Grand Central Art Galleries, Allied Artists of America, American Artists Professional League, the Southern Vermont Art Association, and the Hudson Valley Art Association.
Never one to limit himself, he also painted portraits, still lifes, nudes, shore and dock scenes. The remaining collection also includes paintings from New England as well as many of his travel destinations: the American West, Mexico, Carribbean, Europe, and the Adriatic.
