Robert "Bob" Rohm (American, b. 1948). Lithograph, 1996. Hand-signed and dated as well as signed in the plate on the lower left. A serene depiction of an adobe dwelling in the American Southwest by Bob Rohm. Rohm presents the pueblo with an appreciation for the geometry of these dwellings as well as the vibrant colors and natural light of the Southwest. Rohm aspires to capture the poetic quality of his surroundings. In the artist's words, "Poetry in the landscape means to impart a feeling for a scene rather than just to illustrate it—to engage the viewer's imagination." This beautiful piece is set in a custom frame and hand signed in addition to being signed in the plate. Size of print: 13.875" L x 20.75" W (35.2 cm x 52.7 cm) Size of frame: 23.25" L x 30.25" W (59.1 cm x 76.8 cm)
According to Sorrel Sky Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico (one of numerous esteemed galleries that represents Bob Rohm), "Perhaps best known for his radiant landscapes, Robert (Bob) Rohm’s paintings reflect the brilliance of the colors found in the clear, bright light of the Southwest. Although his work contains an enormous amount of detail, those details are transformed as he translates the world around him. This sense of poetry lends an almost abstract nature to his work.
Artist's Statement: "Bob has been painting most of his life, and received classical art training at the York Academy of Arts in Pennsylvania. Now a resident of Texas, his paintings reflect the brilliance of the colors found in the clear, bright light of the southwest. Known for his ability to capture the poetry of light, he has received many awards and is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America, Oil Painters of America and the Outdoor Painters Society. He is the author of the book THE PAINTERLY APPROACH and has been featured in many publications including Southwest Art, American Artist, The Artist’s Magazine, The Pastel Journal, International Artist and Pure Color. Bob's painting approach has been the subject of several instructional DVD productions. His work is collected internationally and is represented by a number of fine galleries including Sorrel Sky in Santa Fe, RS Hanna in Fredericksburg, Aspen Grove Fine Arts in Aspen and Southwest Gallery in Dallas."
