About the Item

"Shore Birds" by Gerald Purdy, oil on panel, 11 1/2 X 14 inches (framed size: 17 X 21 1/2 inches), $2,800. "I chose narrative art from the menu and have never looked back (some people think I can’t look back because I’m already there). My heart is in American art of the 1930’s and 40’s and the sentimentalism of the “Saturday Evening Post”! Time and space have collapsed in art but not in the self of the artist. I happen to think we are still driven by the need to tell stories and to create illusion and order where none exists. My own stories are basically domestic and tend to be ironic. They may not be visually or conceptually whole, because two or three ideas may intrude on the same piece, but they are intended to be “stories” that contain location, exposition, conflict and resolution. They just aren’t the great stories of salvation or war that populate the history of art and take up so much valuable space on museum walls. Finally, irony is one of the great forms of the comedic, which drives me — and comedy is anarchy." - Gerald Purdy

San Rafael Reef #2
By Mark Knudsen
Located in Salt Lake City, UT
San Rafael Reef #2, acrylic on panel, 11 x 37 1/2 inches, $2,200 “It is my feeling that the desert country of the American West is too large, too wild, too gorgeous to be encompassed by traditional landscape painting. Our inherited aesthetic defines beauty in landscape as green and arable land or grand, breathtaking places. I feel the need to expand that definition. I want to portray the desert as it is right now; to dispense with the limitations of what has come before, to quietly point out the beauty of places that are harsh and forbidding to habitation but express an aesthetic of the wild. I strive to go beyond the sentimentality that often defines our images of the West. The scale of many of my pieces (an extreme horizontal) is a compositional strategy to capture the vastness of these places.” – M. Knudsen Mark Knudsen...
