- Lot Description
John Axton (American, b. 1947). "Mountain Sun" oil on canvas, 1985. Signed "Axton" on the lower right. An ethereal painting of a charming Santa Fe house by John Axton. The relatively spare architecture, characteristic of Santa Fe, is delineated with Axton's signature soft palette. Axton also has an uncanny ability to tap into the elegant effects of sunlight in the Southwest landscape, and his deceptively simple style complements the subject beautifully. Size of painting: 12" L x 16" W (30.5 cm x 40.6 cm) Size of frame: 16.25" L x 20.25" W (41.3 cm x 51.4 cm)
John Axton has been lauded by many. Roberta McIntyre, for example, waxed poetic, "'The great artist,' according to classical wisdom,' is a simplifier.' Santa Fe artist John Axton brings a contemporary reality to this age-old dictum with his visually elegant, comprehensible paintings and lithographs of the Southwest landscape and architecture. Without being either simple or simplistic, Axton is extraordinarily effective at distilling composition and concept to a level that makes his work readily accessible to a wide audience." (Roberta McIntyre. "The Mystique of John Axton: His simplicity is an invitation to explore your own imagination." (The Santa Fean Magazine - Volume 14, Number 10, November 1986, p. 27)
