About the Item

Unframed Dimensions: 15 x 10 inches Framed Dimensions: 18 3/4 x 13 3/4 inches Joseph Keiffer (American, b. 1952) Joseph Keiffer started painting at 18, but his first job after college was as a paintings cataloguer at Sotheby’s. After seven years at Sotheby’s he became Director of Paintings at Doyle Galleries, and then President of a private art foundation. The years spent between college and art school never left him and he was painting on the side throughout the years of work in the art business. As a result of the work in the art trade, he developed a deep knowledge of the history of art and of old paintings with the greatest focus on Nineteenth Century painting. He developed great respect for technical ability and while technique is not the final goal of a work of art, it makes the possibility of communication through painting possible. He often quotes Henry James: “In the arts, feeling is meaning”. Artist’s Statement: My first paintings were abstract. As I became more enchanted with the interactions of lines with colors, I came to understand that painting as decoration differs from painting as a “language”, and language is what I was after. For that, I needed to gain control of the basics - line and color - drawing, light and shade, just as writers and musicians contend with grammar, rhythm, tones, etc. That is technical mastery of their chosen medium. When I was at The New York Studio School there was great emphasis on “style”, and little on technique. But which style? And what was wrong with reality? Reality, after all, is where I was getting my principal motivation for painting anything - beauty. From there I began a long process of re-presenting what I saw, gaining the technical wherewithal to paint what I saw - and to paint what I wanted to see. I painted landscapes, still life and interiors. I got better at editing out unnecessary details, but I always want to retain enough information to make a viewer feel what it would be like to be there. I began painting enamel objects about 25 years ago. I enjoyed their age - these things are between 50 and 100 years old - and they come from all over the world: China, Russia, Eastern and Western Europe and the U.S. As I come to grips with the possibilities of these not-so-still lifes, I enjoy the fantasy that I am playing with history and also with the future.
