Reflections - The Art of Robert Gratiot (Paperback): Robert Gratiot Reflections - The Art of Robert Gratiot (Paperback)
Robert Gratiot; Foreword by Michael Paglia

Artist Robert Gratiot refers to his work as ""painterly photo-realism,"" and he readily reveals his complete commitment to this reference by rendering his subjects with photographic accuracy. His mastery of painterly methods and of various drawing techniques highlights his astounding eye-to-hand coordination. Gratiot precisely conveys a particular scene through meticulously produced details, each down to the smallest and expertly handled. But it is more than that-he regards each small section of a painting as an abstraction, and then assembles these tiny abstractions to build the realistic whole. His paintings are obviously the product of the considerable efforts of a very gifted and extremely meticulous painter. ""The genuine revelation is how deeply personal and individual these pieces are for Robert Gratiot. This is a surprise, particularly considering the impersonal nature of his subjects. However, each is deeply felt and carries hidden moods and veiled stories, which until he shared them, were known only to Gratiot.""-Michael Paglia

"Landscapes of Colorado" features the efforts of artists who have used the state's natural beauty as inspirations for their paintings and photographs. Art curator Ann Daley selected the artists. Some lived in Colorado only briefly, while others have spent their entire careers in the state. Daley also provides an essay linking each artist to the impressive history of Colorado, where for over a century painters and photographers have been attracted to its magnificent views and its crisp, clear light.

Art critic Michael Paglia provides a profile of each of the artists. In writing about them, he takes into account key experiences in their development, as well as analyzing their varying styles, the techniques they embrace, and places them in the broader context of landscape art. The artists found in "Landscapes of Colorado" display a wide range of aesthetic approaches from neotraditional to contemporary realist.

"Landscapes of Colorado" is an overview of the rich vein of contemporary art in Colorado.

For this groundbreaking study, Michael Paglia and Mary Voelz Chandler begin with the first generation of artists active in the 1930s and conclude with the modernists of the 1970s and 80s. Paglia focuses on the history of abstraction in Colorado, and Chandler's essays document the artistic development and vision of more than fifty contemporary artists who are creating abstract paintings and sculptures today.
