This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  The following, submitted 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." |
