Artist Statement:
Ward George is a contemporary
representational artist
interested primarily in the
female nude.
Having made off with his
mother's paint box at the age
of nine, Mr. George received
his training privately and,
formally, at the University of
Wisconsin. Although deeply
influenced by modern art and
its philosophies, he soon
embarked on a deeper study of
the whole of Western Art. As a
result, he has built a
foundation drawing from the
depth of western tradition as
well as more contemporary
sources.
Mr. George has chosen the nude
as an expressive vehicle for
three reasons:
* first, it is the foundation
of Western Art;
* second, it is an art form in
and of itself;
* third, and most importantly,
because of his natural
sympathies for the human
figure and the enduring source
of challenges and
opportunities it presents.
Believing that an artist must
bring intellect, emotion and
technique to his work, he has
taken what he considers of
greatest aesthetic value from
artists as varied as Rembrandt
and Picasso, de Kooning and
Ingres, Rodin and Welliver,
Matisse, Wyeth, Rubens and
Pearlstein.
Mr. George's work hangs in
private collections throughout
the world. ...
