Alson Skinner Clark: Paintings

Alson Skinner Clark remained steeped in the Impressionist tradition throughout his life. He appears to have been painfully aware of the ever-increasing mark that Modernism was leaving on the Western world's artistic landscape, but he remained an Impressionist at heart. What separated Clark from many of the painters of the day was his extensive training at the top art academies in New York, Chicago, and Paris. James McNeill Whistler and William Merritt Chase were two artists that Clark was particularly enamored with. Additionally, he travelled extensively in his search for fresh and unique subject matter. Although he called California home in the latter years of his life, Clark painted extensively in New England, New York, South Carolina, Illinois, Canada, England, France, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Panama, Mexico, and Croatia (formerly Dalmatia).

The present work showcases a fine array of new photographic images of paintings by Alson Skinner Clark utilizing the Kvamme process of digital enhancement.
