TLC, how fascinating. I passed your links along to my sister (doctorate, art history) for more information.
Thank you.

TLC,

Never heard of this guy, but that really doesn't mean anything.

Very cool, I really dig "Italian Window".

He is a good painter. I believe I recall his work from the National Museum of American Art. To compare him to Van Eyck or Vermeer, well, I am dubious, but since I am not so well acquainted with his work, I will not argue.

There are a number of roughly contemporary artists (post- War) who are very good: Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, George Segal, Anselm Kieffer, Lucian Freud, Henry Moore, Robert Rauschenberg, I.M. Pei, Robert Venturi, and Balthus come to mind immediately. Some died quite awhile back, some died recently and worked up till then, some are still working, some are even in the middle of their careers. The main thing to realize is that no short period is likely to be rich with notable artists, the time frame of even the Italian Renaissance or Dutch Golden Age is much longer than a couple of decades. If we count in 50 year periods, or better centuries, we are doing quite well........

Here are some images from one of my favorite post- War painters, Richard Diebenkorn. I saw the exhibit from which these came at the Phillips Collection. Click on the thumbnails for a better view. Be warned, though, since they are not to scale, the full impact is quite blunted. Diebenkorn died in '93:
