Duane Alt came upon his fascination with French Impressionism* in a somewhat indirect way. During his high school years, he worked after school, and on weekends, mixing paints for the scenery painters at the various Hollywood film studios. While still a teenager, he began his formal art studies at the Chouinard Art Institute* in Los Angeles.
Upon finishing his studies at Chouinard, he was employed as an artist for Walt Disney. He progressed over the next 25 years in the film industry becoming an art director and production designer with MGM, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Brothers Studios. Alt worked with such well known Hollywood directors as Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kramer, and Irwin Allen. During part of that time, Alt also taught art at Chouinard, finding the time in his busy schedule to teach a few art classes in between his studio work.
In the later days of his career, he spends a fair amount of time painting in his studio in the hills above Nice, France. Living there for most of the year gives him the daily inspiration to put the beauty of day-to-day life in France onto canvas. He paints spontaneously every day and is able to satisfy eager collectors with a broad variety of paintings featuring many subjects matters, all while capturing the essence of life in France and Italy.
