LILLIAN KENNEDY PAINTING - RHYTHM
LILLIAN KENNEDY PAINTING - RHYTHM IN BLUES (1994)**First Time At Auction**
Lillian Kennedy "Rhythm in Blues" acrylic on canvas, 1994. Signature on lower right. Signature, date, and title on verso. A breathtaking and quite sizeable landscape painting capturing a magnificent view of tree-lined foothills beneath the snow-capped Rocky Mountains by American artist Lillian Kennedy whose command of light and color is, in a word, masterful. Kennedy's color choices move beyond the expected with evergreen boughs delineated in saturated shades of cornflower blue (as opposed to green) that sharply contrast with the crisp white snow and warm beige deciduous trees and wintery hillsides in their midst. Hues of pink, lavender, and blue dapple across shades of white to further model the mountaintops. Kennedy's painterly application moves from lush, gestural brushstrokes to textural passages of impasto. She presents a vibrant dance of sunlight and shade combined with expressive application and color that truly shimmers in a palpable, almost kinetic manner. Kennedy has captured nature's figurative twirls and pirouettes with her brush and palette knife. Aptly titled "Rhythm in Blues" what matters most to Kennedy is that she "continues to hone closer to her vision of nature which she sees with rhythm and luminosity". Size (sight view): 43.5" L x 44.625" W (110.5 cm x 113.3 cm) Size (frame): 44.5" L x 45.7" W (113 cm x 116.1 cm)
Lillian Kennedy has lived and worked in Vermont, New York City, and Boulder, Colorado. Kennedy earned her Master's Degree in Painting from the Parson's School of Design on a Helena Rubenstein scholarship in New York City. During this time, Kennedy established a studio in Union Square and was commissioned to create murals and paintings for landmarks such as the Bronx Zoo, St. James Cathedral, and Tavern on the Green. She also taught at Pratt Institute of Art. Kennedy's art has been exhibited internationally, and she has had several solo exhibitions.
Artist's Statement: "Lillian Kennedy has drawn and painted the landscape since she was a child, and she won her first first-prize for a landscape piece at the age of eight.
She explored Europe and the U.S. and earned a college degree before establishing a thriving community based studio in Burlington, Vermont in the 1970s. Teaching Art for Creative Growth at Burlington College and other institutions gave her an outlet for her explorations into the relationship between Art, Psychology, and Spirituality. While teaching in a broad range of media and styles, her love of the landscape continued and she was often out painting at sunrise and even by moonlight.
Trading mountains for skyscrapers, Lillian moved to NYC where she received a Master's Degree in Painting from Parsons School of Design and established her mural and corporate art business. Her work from this period can be seen in many hotels, business, and public spaces such as the Bronx Zoo, Sunset Park Courthouse, St. James Cathedral, and the Tavern on the Green. Prospect Park was her haunt and her work was large and expressionistic. She taught Advanced Light, Color, and Design at Pratt Institute of Art.
In 1990, Kennedy moved to Boulder, Colorado with her husband and daughter. She travels internationally to paint and also works extensively in the Rocky Mountains and on Boulder Creek. Kennedy's work has been exhibited internationally and she has had numerous one-person shows throughout the U.S. from the east to the west coasts. Her work is in hundreds of corporate and private collections throughout the world, but what matters most to her is that she continues to hone closer to her vision of nature which she sees with rhythm and luminosity."
