Artist Statement:
Speaking about his subject matter, Humbert once said:
"..I paint the people I know, the places I see, the thing I touch.it's the people and the environment of the cities I love-tall buildings, streets, parks, the dancer, the teen-ager, the stenographer, but I paint them in terms of my culture, times, and personal feelings.."
| Review of Artist's Work:
For a 1979 Exhibition at the Gross McCleaf Gallery in Philadelphia, Dr. Burton Wasserman; Critic, Scholar, Teacher, and Artist, wrote the following:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" HUMBERT HOWARD, one of the most widely celebrated Painters, is holding forth this month with his latest oils, watercolors and sculpture."
"A free-swinging painter who works in the Expressionist tradition, Howard knows how to make a brush seem to fly with apparent abandon while he is actually exerting a carefully disciplined rein over what he does. The net effect of this approach is an art in which colors melt and glow on the picture surfaces with unmeasurable power, richness, and resonance."
" To see Howard"s work is to recapture the vision of the eternal child who sees the world without the jaded spoilage that all too often comes to most of us with "Growing Up."
"IN A HOWARD painting, the appearance of a human being, the shape of the Sun above a landscape, or the color of the overhead Sky is still a source of Wonder, Discovery, and sheer excitement. To look at his pictures is to become aware of how fortunate people are to have the gift of sight."
"The Ultimate reality of Howard's Work is his concentrated feeling for design. What makes this so memorable is the way he unveils the essence of a given subject and then transforms it into a complex of reverberating lines and tones. They will endure for years to come, lasting long after the moments that first stimulated the artist to creative action are lost and gone."
