Description
The following, submitted to Askart in October 2005 by Keen Jay, is from a biography attached at the time of purchase to a Richard Zolan painting acquired by Jay.
"Richard Judson Zolan, who has been adherent to the principles of European and American impressionism, has established himself as one of America's most exceptional painters.
"Chicago born Zolan graduated from the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago and later studied at the famed Art Students League in New York City. He quickly became the prized pupil of Louis Ritman, an instructor at the academy. Ritman, a personal friend and student of Monet for over 20 years, taught Zolan the fundamental techniques and style of Impressionism.
"Zolan became an artist for the love of creating, and the recognition his art has developed stems purely from talent. The most pervasive quality of his work is the extraordinary synergy he achieves- bringing to his canvas a triumphant marriage of modern art with its Renaissance ancestry. He is energetic, prolific, and enthusiastic about his creativity. He pursues his art with precision, efficiency, love and optimism.
"Exhibiting internationally, Richard Judson Zolan lives as he paints- with verve, vigor and creativity. He is what America is all about; a new idea built upon an old tradition. It is rare to encounter an artist such as Zolan whose life and career incorporate a melding of the phenomena of his style. His romantic work has become a standard for an authentically distinct genre- American Impressionism.
"Significant exhibitions include the Metropolitan Galleries in Osaka, Japan, the World Trade Center, Cape Cod Art Association, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Richard spends his summers in Massachusets with his family and winters in Palm Desert, CA."
