John Stockwell Landscapes
Essay by Alfred Alcorn
When I work with pastels, I go out on location and paint en plein air. I allow myself to feel the wind, the temperature, and the mood of the day. I respond immediately to the fleeting light with a furious frenzy of pastel. I take no time to think—I just react.
This beautifully illustrated monograph presents 67 works by a master of color, light, and atmosphere. This first publication of John Stockwell’s work includes lavish reproductions of his brilliant landscapes and a wide range of his oil and pastel paintings, emphasizing his color sense and use of texture. John Stockwell Landscapes evokes the emotion of color. An American artist, dividing his time between the countryside of Sweden and the shores of Cape Cod, his passion for the beauty of landscape is evident from his bright, jewel-like hues and intense light perspective. Avidly collected, his paintings are found in public and private collections in Europe and the U.S. Alfred Alcorn is a noted author of several books, including The Pull of the Earth and Murder in the Museum of Man. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Award-winning Swedish photographer Peer Eriksson’s dramatic photographs capture Stockwell’s essence in his environment.
