This is a framed original painting. Biography Creating paintings inspired by western movies and by Remington and Russell, he is a native of the West, having been born and raised in rural Colorado. He studied art at Baylor University in Waco, Texas; at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, and at the University of Colorado, Boulder where he earned a Master's Degree in 1979. For two decades he worked as curator at the Yellowstone Art Museum in Billings, Montana, before leaving in 1999 to begin work as a full-time painter and independent curator. His work is in the collections of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming; the Art Museum of Missoula; and the Yellowstone Art Museum; the Federal Reserve Bank in Helena, Montana; and the Deaconness Medical Center in Billings, Montana. Artist Statement For a long time, the images in my paintings have been identifiably, even iconically, western-stagecoaches and false-front main streets, poker games and gun battles, cowboys, Indians, cavalry troopers and horses, all suspended in a choreographed matrix of dancing paint. Distinct from the traditional western genre-which inventories the minutia of cowboy gear or tells sentimental stories of rangeland romance-my paintings embody something more elemental and timeless, animated and abstract. The images tend to be stark, graphic, and charged with painterly energy. Though they are derived from fugitive television images, the paintings, as paintings, are still, silent and non-ephemeral. They register the technological transfer of primal shadows onto the electroluminescent screens of our collective consciousness, a shimmering blur of perception and memory transposed in an interchange of gesture and description, painted marks simultaneously arresting and embodying movement. I've always liked what a painter friend, Marc Vischer, wrote in 1988 about an early group of my western paintings. Now, I'm fourteen years closer to actualizing my vision for this work, and his astute remarks seem more pertinent today than they did then. He wrote in part, "For McConnell, a searing light emanates from a new desert: that of television. And from that most desolate backdrop, he salvages fragments from a movie world that spoke of honor in a land that was lawless. In a romantic sense, McConnell's works are a visual seance. Figures, like specters distorted through intense heat waves, are captured from their eternity of 24 frames a second. Their shapes and shadows are brought back into a radically different world and given substance and texture. It is an impossible attempt to freeze them, to arrest the present's ceaseless molestation of the past, to close off the continuum. Sometimes this is done darkly and thickly as an emphatic gesture of permanence. In other works a few light strokes quickly applied suggest the ephemeral nature of film and perhaps the fleeting nature of our own lives." I have been examining new imagery in my paintings, drawing subjects from Mexican graphic novelas, modern women and men of romance and mystery from the mid-20th century, motorcycles and airplanes. The end titles of movies, stated in several languages, have inspired me to begin a new series of cross-media translations in both acrylic and watercolor. My paintings have long begun where the movies have left off. The elements of water and light co-mingle in some pieces from this series and in others which take the viewpoint of a swimmer, watching other swimmers from the wet side of this aqueous membrane, looking up toward the light. My arrival in Montana in 1982 brought me into intimate contact with some of the most storied places of the historic West and also gave me the opportunity to study the paintings of two of the most influential codifiers of western imagery, Frederic Remington and Charlie Russell...

This is an oil painting on canvas and is monochromatic black. Reed's primary focus has been the rich vein of Northern European art from the mid-17th through 18th centuries, a period of enlightenment and profound interest in science, nature, and the animal world. Animals were assigned human traits (peacock:vanity; dog:fidelity), and nature itself was considered a symbol of God's providence - a commonly held belief within the stratified, gentry dominated social order of the time. Reed (b. 1958, New York, NY) lives and works in Boston, MA. She is a recipient of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts Maud Morgan...

Après la représentation de l’atelier qu’il a réalisé sous tous les angles, EtienneCail s’est engagé à construire « ses gueules »,des adversaires qu’il défiera à grand coup de pinceaux. Au coeur des ateliers de cette Chine actuelle il découvre cet art à la fois puissant et subtil. Ici, les rebelles du monde de l’art ne sont pas des dissidents au sens strict du terme, ils se battent pour l’indépendance de la création dans un pays où la liberté est encadrée. Cette capacité à créer une force intelligible malgré ces contraintes force l’admiration du jeune peintre qui se retourne sur d’anciennes provocations artistiques qu’il jugera dés lors trop faciles.Dés son retour en France, la création d’une nouvelle série de portraits appuient déjà cette nouvelle maturité et un nouveau projet prend parallèlement vie autour d’un songe: si tous les grands moments de l’histoire et les plus grands chefs...

Psychological Portrait of Girl with Dog Spanish Figurative Oil Painting 1974 Artist: José Antonio Castro Cadenas Title: Girl with Dog Date: 1974 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 73 × 54 cm (28.7 × 21.3 in) Signature: Signed and dated lower left Frame: Unframed Condition: Very good overall condition. Stable support and paint layer. Description A refined psychological portrait depicting a young girl holding her small companion dog, painted in 1974 by Spanish figurative artist José Antonio Castro Cadenas. The composition is structured around the direct, introspective gaze of the sitter, creating an immediate emotional dialogue with the viewer. The dog’s slightly diverted attention introduces a subtle narrative counterpoint, adding tension and quiet movement within the otherwise serene arrangement. Executed in a restrained palette of muted pinks, greys and softened whites, the painting conveys the lyrical atmosphere characteristic of Spanish figurative portraiture of the 1970s. The artist’s controlled modelling of the face and hands reveals strong academic training combined with a poetic sensitivity typical of mature postwar Spanish realism. Portraits of children accompanied by animals hold a special place within European figurative painting and remain particularly sought after by collectors interested in narrative intimacy and psychological presence. A compelling and elegant example of Spanish figurative painting from the second half of the twentieth century. Biography José Antonio Castro Cadenas (Córdoba, 1926–2006) was a Spanish figurative painter known for the tonal refinement and psychological sensitivity of his portraits and figure compositions. He developed most of his artistic career in Córdoba and exhibited on several occasions at Galería Studio–Juan Bernier, an important venue for the promotion of twentieth-century Andalusian art. His work includes portraits, female figures, hunting scenes, equestrian compositions and landscapes distinguished by solid draftsmanship and harmonious chromatic balance. Today his production forms part of the tradition of Spanish figurative painting that preserved narrative and emotional realism throughout the second half of the twentieth century. The painting resonates with the introspective atmosphere found in the work of Antonio López García, as well as the poetic figurative tradition associated with Julio Romero de Torres and the broader lineage of Spanish psychological portraiture. Its quiet stillness and emotional restraint also echo the intimate portrait sensibility seen in twentieth-century European figurative painters working between realism and lyrical modernity. This positioning situates the work within the continuity of postwar Spanish figurative painting that remained committed to atmosphere, silence and psychological depth rather than abstraction.
