About the Item

This is an original oil painting by master painter, Donald Jurney. The project was one near and dear to the artist's heart. A lover of books, Jurney rescued a number of old, cloth-bound books from oblivion, giving them new life by adding a painting to the cover of each. Framed and mounted in a simple white frame, these little works of art are perfect for a library, or a gift for a bibliophile. Please see our other listings to see the whole collection. Donald Jurney (b. 1945) was educated at Columbia University, the Pratt Institute, and the Art Students League. His career has included over twenty-five one-person shows in San Francisco, New York, Boston and elsewhere. Works by Mr. Jurney hang in prominent corporate and private collections in the US and abroad. Jurney's work is influenced by his time spent living and working in the Hudson River Valley, England, France, Ireland and in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. He currently maintains a studio in Massachusetts. His work is a tapestry woven from a lifetime of experience in drawing and painting, and from careful understanding and observation of the world around us. "Donald Jurney's painted landscapes offer the viewer a soothing, silent, scenic respite from the burdens of modernity. No signs of technology or urban life mar his pastoral vision...It is as if we have been transported to another time and place--and indeed we have." -Janice Simon, Josiah Meigs Distinguished Associate Professor of Art History, University of Georgia “Often a painting is a conversation between disparate shapes and forms…here brilliant, there disguised---in a carefully-conceived dance of light. This may be a celebration of a place, perhaps, or an investigation of an evanescent mood. For the viewer who has both the time and inclination to really look, one hopes to afford, by way of a painted surface wrought of subtleties, the opportunity to explore at leisure the wonder of the world in which we live.” - Donald Jurney

  • Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)
    By Jane Chapin
    Located in Cody, WY
    This is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...
