Lower Manhattan, St. Pauls, Woolworth Building and City Hall by Daniel Morper
By Daniel Morper
Located in Sheffield, MA
Daniel Morper American, b. 1944 Lower Manhattan, St. Pauls, Woolworth Building & City Hall, NY Oil on canvas, signed on recto at lower right 36 in. by 50 in. W/frame 38 in. by 52 in. Landscape painter Daniel Morper is known for his naturalistic, light-saturated images of such diverse scenes as views upward into the skies above Manhattan, scenic panoramas of the badlands and canyons of the American West, and nostalgic paintings of rural landscapes and townscapes. In 2008 LewAllen Contemporary presented the first retrospective exhibition covering the full scope of Morper's career, from his Manhattan cityscapes of the 1970s, up to and including his portraits of the old Santa Fe Railyard. "Morper rewards looking." So says well-known art critic and historian Peter Frank in the catalogue for LewAllen Contemporary's retrospective exhibition. Frank adds: "Morper has a knack for finding the spectacular in the mundane…emphasizing - but not exaggerating - the skew of a vantage, the force and weight of a horizon, the surprise and poignancy of an object silhouetted against a sky." By combining a pre-modernist regard for the meaning of nature with a modernist's search for elemental vision and post-modern exactitude, Morper has, in Peter Frank's view, "helped to bring about a veritable renaissance in American landscape painting." Another critic has noted, "Morper's style borders the edge of photo-realism but is filled with metaphor: stunning Southwest light...
