Jack Stuppin: Homage to the Hudson River School
ACA Galleries is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition of paintings by Jack Stuppin, Homage to the Hudson River School. A 114-page, full color catalogue will be available with an essay by Donald Kuspit.
Jack Stuppin’s vibrant, undulating landscapes are passionate reactions to nature and ardent appeals for environmental consciousness. Nature is the soul of his art. Stuppin’s conception and execution are highly individual and original. Using thick impasto, energetic brushwork and brilliant colors he has created his own particular style.
