G Harvey
Western Art
|
G.Harvey and his images have influenced a worldwide enthusiasm
and demand for contemporary American art for a generation. Few
artists have intrigued and captivated art collectors as widely
as the celebrated painter, G. Harvey. During his storied career,
G. Harvey has painted turn-of-the-century America as no other
artist. His scenes are warm, thoughtful portraits of our
country’s bustling cities in a more genteel era and
outstanding Western sagas of working cowhands at home in rugged
landscapes.
Gerald Harvey Jones, known to his patrons and peers as G.
Harvey, grew up in the rugged hills in Central Texas where herds
of longhorn cattle were driven along the dusty trails. This
background has been the inspiration for the artist’s commitment
to portraying the spirit of America. Through his art, our
country’s history lives. Harvey restores all those memories,
sights, sounds, and emotions. With his ability to capture the
drama, light, and feeling of a moment, the artist brings the heart
of his painting to the viewer.
G. Harvey is not only an extraordinary painter, but an
accomplished sculptor. His original works and bronze sculptures
are in the collections of major corporations, prestigious museums,
American presidents, governors, foreign leaders, and captains of
industry. The artist has been the recipient of innumerable awards
and the subject of four books. Harvey has been honored with
one-man shows at the Smithsonian Institution and the National
Archives in Washington, D. C. |
