| Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Birge Harrison has been described
as one of America's leading tonalist painters. His specialties
became
moonlit landscapes, pueblos, and Indian genre, but unlike many of his
Impressionist contemporaries, who liked to paint "en plein air," he
painted from memory and preferred a muted palette. He was
one of
the first generation of painters and teachers in the Woodstock, New
York art colony, which under his influence became a center of
Tonali (showing 500 of 8611 characters). |
