Critics and collectors of Gary George's paintings and prints
are
continually delighted by his variety of subjects and the
manner in
which he paints them. Whether painting a stately
executive portrait,
an endless vista of wooded mountains, or
a sensuous female figure
walking the beach, he proves over
and over again that he is an
innovative contemporary master.
His career started in 1971
drawing portraits from life and painting scenes "en plein
air." Since his subjects had to sit for their portraits, he
perfected "all prima" techniques in oil and in pastels. As
his talents became known he was commissioned by many members
of high society and big business. He painted the Vanderbilts
and the Gettys. Armand Hammer
and His Majesty King Hassan II
added Gary's artwork to their collections. Hundreds of
portraits have been commissioned from him over the years.
Art galleries and publishers have played
important roles in the sales and distribution of paintings
and prints. Ben Seger Fine Art has published
many limited
edition lithographs of Gary's paintings. Graphic Impressions
Group has published eight editions of serigraphs. Fine Art
Wholesalers
are world-wide distributors and publishes giclees of his figurative artwork. Frontline Graphics
publish and sell unlimited editions from his paintings.
When The Cancer Treatment Centers bought
over a dozen of his
paintings at New York's Art Expo in
1990, it marked the beginnings
of corporations collecting
his work. Museums that own his art
include the Fine Art
Museum of New Zealand, the Schacknow
Museum of Fine Art in
Plantation, FL, Rollins College, the University
of Florida
and others.
