Dean Richardson   “I crept up on my sense as a painter, a feeling that I had a point of view. It took me a while to get there, but once I did, I had no choice but to paint.” Dean Richardson has been painting since the 1950’s. He was a Fullbright Scholar, received a fellowship from the Guggenheim and a Max Beckman Memorial Scholarship. Over the last forty years he has shown at the Whitney Museum, the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art, the Corcoran, and the DeCordova Museum. He was a respected professor at Rhode Island School of Design for 38 years. Rich textures and deep earthy pigments dominate his pieces. The subject matter is interpretations of his romantic view of American history. Native Americans, baseball heroes, wild wolves, shamans and liquid like landscapes sit dreamily upon his canvas. |
