- Lot Description
David Dewey Beavertail Lighthouse-Jamestown, RI Watercolor 12" x 16", 19" x 23" framed 2007 Born in 1946, in rural New Jersey, artist David Dewey is an American landscape painter known for his watercolor pieces. His Maine architectural and waterfront scenes pay close attention to expanses of sky, clear light, and shadow. Dewey has always been drawn to the mysterious properties of light. As he says in his popular book, The Watercolor Book, light "is the wellspring of color, and thus of our visual perception of the landscape's topographical structures. It is the most important influence on anyone choosing to paint the colored tapestries of landscape." Jessica Nicoll, curator of the Portland Museum of Art in Maine, writes "His compositions create tension between the seen and unseen, between the illusion of reality and the fact of invention." As a young boy he began painting and drawing imaginary scenes that appealed to his eye and inner sensibility, he says that he knew from childhood that he would be an artist. Dewey graduated in 1968 from Philadelphia College of Art, and then received his MFA from Washington State University in 1974. His work has been exhibited in a large number of galleries including the Bernarducci Meisel Gallery, NY, Caldbeck Gallery in Rockland, ME, Bowdoin College Museum in Brunswick, ME, Frye Art Museum in Seattle, WA, Newport Art Museum in Newport, RI, Addison Museum of American Art in Andover, MA, and many more.
