Impressionist Female Portrait O/C American Al Herr N/R!

Welcome to Cornell Gallery's Famous $9.99 No-Reserve Art Auctions! Sounds Too Good To Be True?.... Check Out Our Feedback And See What Our Happy Clients Have To Say About Us!!!!

The beautiful Impressionist Portrait of a seated woman in a park is an original oil on canvas by the talented contemporary American artist Alfred Herr (20th Century). The peace is fluently executed reminiscent of the French Impressionist style, loosely submerging the figurative elements into abstract space. The painting resonates with the calm airy atmosphere of an Indian Summer day in nature! This classically painted park scene will adorn any space it will grace! The piece is signed and dated (2004) by the artist.

About the artist in his own words:

Albert Herr
January 2006

After military service I studied painting and drawing at the Art Students League in New York and at the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center. I then started working in commercial art doing layouts and comprehensive sketching for advertising agencies and magazines. After a few years I was able to break into courtroom sketching for television news programs. (At the time New York and New Jersey did not allow cameras in their courtrooms.) I found the work more interesting, more challenging, and more lucrative than advertising and did it for twenty years. Among the trials I covered were David Berkowitz (Son of Sam), John Gotti, ABSCAM, Leona Helmsley, and Emelda Marcos.

I also sketched the Senate in Washington before cameras were allowed in that chamber. During this time I won four Certificates of Merit at the Broadcast Designers’ Association Annual Design Competition.

Twelve years ago I stopped doing courtroom work in order to get back to painting full time. I took classes at the League and the National Academy of Design. Since then my paintings have won awards at the Audubon Artists Annual, The American Artists Professional League and the Art Guild in Farmington, Ct. Currently my focus is landscapes and portraiture.
