John Schieffer: Beautiful Things I New York

Overview

Color holds an emotional component in John Schieffer’s latest exhibit, Beautiful Things. By using real objects to paint from, Schieffer relies on the color and value to hold an emotional connection between the painting and the object. As you page through this catalogue, enjoy the depictions of shiny glass, toys, marbles, and candy that Schieffer uses to evoke memories of childhood and times of joy in the viewer. Happiness and joy are what inspire Schieffer in his work. Find a piece of artwork that speaks to your inner child and will bring you the most vibrant cheer even on the gloomiest of days.
