Robert Kipniss

Robert Kipniss painter and printmaker of hushed dreamlike landscapes which concern themselves not only with the images seen, but also construct a bridge between viewer and the artist; the vision of a landscape which although real is really imaginary and magical. Kipniss's world of architecturally structured nature, which implies stillness, either morning or dusk is revealed to the viewer only after moving past the formal aspects of the Landscape. Robert Kipniss is a figure in american art whose work defied trends throughout his career and to quote Karl Lunde:

In his paintings Robert Kipniss makes tangible the elegaic poetry of the piercing beauty of landscape when experienced alone, and holds it in its poignant solitude for our contemplation.

Kipniss is represented in numerous American and European museums and has had extensive exhibitions in Europe, the United States, and Japan.
