Item Description
Original watercolor painting by Marc Montefusco.
Framed size is 14" x 18" with 2" dove grey mat and silver frame.
Marc's fascination with landscape painting dates from his tenure at the Smithsonian Institution, where he lived day-to-day with some of the masterpieces of American impressionism. "They had a profound effect on my understanding of American art, and set an impossibly high standard for craftsmanship and artistic expression." He is also indebted to his friend and mentor, artist and educator Patrick Collins of the Cate School in Carpenteria, California.
Marc has been inspired by the Connecticut woods and shorelines to create intimate landscapes like “Discontinuity”. His goal is to faithfully recreate the patterns of the natural world in what he calls “a reverse trompe-l’oeil,” where seemingly random arrangements of color and form grudgingly reveal themselves to be accurate depictions of natural phenomena. “I haven’t entirely succeeded yet,” Marc admits, “but I’ve created some interesting failures.”
