About the Item
New Jersey Skyline with Sailboat (Cloudy Hudson River Scene at Sunset) by Bill Sullivan
c. 1980
oil on canvas
36.5 x 60 inches
The late painter and publisher Bill Sullivan is well-known for his landscapes – many of which depict iconic views of the Hudson Valley – rendered in his signature technicolor palette. An artist in constant conversation with art history while wholly original, Sullivan felt determined to “take the painting…of the generation before me to places it has never gone before.”
This particular work, "New Jersey Skyline with Sailboat," depicts a sailboat moving across the Hudson River with a city skyline in the background. The sailboat is positioned in the very center of the picture, and above, whimsically rendered clouds suggest the time of day, air quality, and power of the wind. The waning sunlight is reflected in a band across the water. The painting's palette of light blues and purples effects a serene atmosphere.
Sullivan was born in New Haven, CT in 1942. As a young man he attended Silvermine College and The University of Pennsylvania studying with Fairfield Porter, Neil Welliver, Jane Freilicher and privately with Josef and Anni Albers. His first solo show of figures and still life paintings was in 1970 at Bowery Gallery, after which he further developed an interest in painting landscapes. Sullivan travelled to South America for several years with partner Jaime Manrique, which resulted in a solo show at Bogota’s Museo de Arte Moderno in 1978. Sullivan returned to New York City where he continued to exhibit his work in various galleries. He eventually moved to Hudson in 2002 until his passing in 2010.

Early Morning St. AM 1987 (Impressionist Figurative City Scene by William Clutz)

Early Morning St. AM 1987 (Impressionist Figurative City Scene by William Clutz)
Impressionist Painting of A Man Crossing a Street in Manhattan in the Early Morning Sunlight Colorful
Painted by William Clutz in 1987
50" X 40" x 2", oil on canvas
This figurative oil on canvas was painted in 1987 by William Clutz as part of a series of works called "Crossings". These paintings were a study of NYC dwellers engaging in the simple, daily activity of crossing the street. Clutz discovers the extraordinary in the ordinary, simply by studying how the sunlight bounces and reflects off the human form.
In New York in the early 50's and 60's,, abstract expressionism was the orthodox approach to art at the time. However, Clutz was committed to his personal style that focused on abstracted human figures within urban tableaux. Working in a context of artists who challenged abstract expressionism's popularity in New York, Clutz established himself as a significant proponent of abstract figuration. His paintings focus on human figures within the urban environment, often exposing the transfiguration of his subjects as they travel through the complex light of city streets or summer parks, as shown in two of his early works.
Clutz's interest in working from direct observation of urban life was influenced by a long-standing interest in German Expressionism, as well as artists like Henri Matisse, Arshile Gorky, and Nicholas De Stael...

Lotus Number Four (Hard Edge Floral Still Life Painting of Lotus Leaves)
By Frank DePietro
Located in Hudson, NY
30 x 24 x 1 inches
oil on canvas
Inspired by close observations of the natural world and encounters with still moments that give us pause. Lines, shapes and colors encountered in nature, reveal the cycles of decay and regeneration that are life’s constant state of change. The work has a quiet, meditative quality. The subject is portrayed in a manner true to their existence in a specific time and place and selected based on considerations of visual relationships to formal elements of painting. Aspects of photo realism, hard edge and color field techniques are utilized to isolate the uniqueness of the subject’s detail, as well as emphasize flatness and illusion of depth within the two-dimensional space of the painting.
About the artist:
Frank DiPietro was born and raised in Scranton PA. He received a Bachelor of Art from Bloomsburg University in 1997, majoring in both Painting and Ceramics with a minor in Art History. In 2000 he earned a degree in Art Education from Moore College of Art and Design while continuing his studies in painting. Frank lived in Philadelphia for twelve years painting and teaching at several museums, art centers and schools in the region. In 2010 he and his family moved to Chester County PA, where he currently resides. Frank currently teaches painting classes and workshops at the Delaware Art Museum and Longwood Gardens...
