Barbara McCann (1948-2011) American Embellished Giclee. French Riviera. Signed along bottom.
Barbara McCann created paintings intended to suggest to the viewer that he or she can enter the scene. Her use of the palette knife adds a textural level to her images, which contributes to the overall impression of liveliness. This heavy impasto technique imbues objects and figures with an air of solidity and dimension. It is a technique well suited to her impressionistic style.
Barbara''s love of light, use of rich, saturated color, and application of heavily textured paints mark her as an heir to the impressionists' ideals - to create works that concentrate on the feelings a scene evokes rather than the accurate reproduction of 'reality'.
Light, shadow, color, texture, and perspective are the fundamental elements Barbara used to create visions of warmth and wonder, full of life and light.
Barbara McCann was born and raised in western Pennsylvania. She began her artistic endeavors with drawing as a child, and then with painting in her teenage years. At the age of 18, she took a four-year apprenticeship in architectural illustration and design, which set the stage for a career in art. For the next 20 years, she ran her own architectural illustration and design studio. Barbara's career and interests in illustrative art and fine art dovetailed.
In the early to mid-seventies, she studied oils with figure painter Marilyn Bendell. While under Bendell's tutelage, McCann discovered the works of Nicola Simbari, an Italian artist whose vision and style has been an enduring inspiration for her. Barbara has also held a teaching position at the Ringling College of Art & Design.
