This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| The following, submitted November 2004, is from the artist.
As an expression of his own calculated observation and visual consumption of surrounding landscape, introspective glimpses of reality imbue the art of David Jon Kassan. By immersing himself into his subject matter, Kassan is able to infuse his painting with life and realism. David Kassan is a Brooklyn based painter who has studied under the auspices of Sharon Sprung at The National Academy of Design and Harvey Dinnerstein at the Art Students League. David has been honored with numerous awards from Arts organizations and magazines including The National Academy of Design Museum of Fine Art, The Society of Illustrators, and Communication Arts.
Most recently David was awarded The Newington-Cropsey Foundation's Travel Grant to paint and study in Italy. While in Italy, David was able to assemble his thoughts and sketches into a limited edition book titled "Lentamente Italia". He has also lectured at Universities around the nation including Rochester Institute of Technology, Western Illinois University, Syracuse University, and University of Alabama. His paintings have been exhibited in the United Nations, The Museum of American Illustration, The National Academy of Design Museum of Fine Art, Gallery 1199, The Cork Gallery, Lincoln Center, The Salmagundi Club, Huntington House Museum, CT, The Wethersfield Museum, CT and has had his work placed in collections worldwide.
