Introduction to the
TRIAD Catalogue: |
|
|
|
The
Newington-Cropsey Foundation was founded to preserve and share the work
and home of Hudson River School artist Jasper F. Cropsey (1823-1900).
Cropsey’s creative life was dedicated to creating works of beauty that
reflected the hand of God in nature. His works are marked by their
fidelity to the visible world and their spiritual connotation.

The
Foundaton’s Gallery of Art building opened to the public in late 1994.
One of the first exhibitions in the new building was Beauty: A
Rebirth of Relevance (winter 1996), a retrospective exhibition of
works by Richard Lack, Don Koestner, Stephen Gjertson and Kirk Richards.
The exhibition illustrated the Foundation’s goal of exhibiting works
that highlight the Foundation’s goal of exhibiting paintings that
manifest beauty and spirituality. In the post-modern world, these are
increasingly pertinent and profound artistic goals. The exhibition also
demonstrated the existence of thoroughly trained living artists with the
ability to create paintings that nourish the human spirit.

This
is the second time the Foundation has featured the work of TRIAD: Three
American Painters. The first was in the fall of 2006. In November of
2007 we were also pleased to host lectures by the artists, where they
delineated the history of their artistic traditions and explained their
working methods. As in their first exhibition, these painters continue
to bring our audience fine landscapes, still lifes, genre and
imaginative figure paintings. The group, comprising Stephen Gjertson,
Kirk Richards and Steve Armes, form a significant and influential triad
of painters. In our opinion, they are three of the finest painters
working in America today. I would like to thank them for again
permitting the Foundation to borrow and display their paintings. I would
also like to acknowledge Barbara Newington for her continued
graciousness, generosity and vision.
