An award-winning artist and instructor – as well as a signature
member of the New York Plein Air Painters – Gary Fifer was
a student of American Impressionist Frank DuMond and Frank Mason
at The Art Students League of New York and studied under Arthur
Maynard of the Ridgewood Art Institute for more than twenty years.
Fifer is well known for his mastery of classical-realist plein air
technique and his emphasis on light and atmosphere. "The study
of the painter concerns itself with the effect of light in nature,"
says Fifer. "The prismatic flow from light to shadow along
with the influence of the changing atmosphere, weather, and the
time of day make these changes infinite. The job of the painter
is to paint this infinite change and to find the illusive relationship
between different effects." |
