"Paintings from the Prairie"
Visions of the Flint Hills by Oscar Larmer
|
We are proud to announce the inclusion of this art exhibit at the Swogger Gallery/ Columbian Theatre in Wamego.
With more than 75 years’ experience as an artist, Oscar brings beautify executed compositions with a pallet that truly represents the Kansas landscape. Oscar Larmer earned a Three Year Certificate in painting from the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a BFA in painting and drawing from the University of Kansas, an MFA from the University of Wichita, Kansas, and taught painting and drawing at Kansas State University from 1956 to 1989. Mr. Larmer is in the collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Kansas City, MO, the Beach Museum of Art at Kansas State University, and the Ulrich Museum of Art at Wichita State University as well as numerous corporate and private collections. “I was interested in simplifying nature and painting the universal. It’s a matter of if nature is more important to you physically or intrinsically as an artist (referring to his more abstract work). Both ways, you get a different quality. Most of my paintings come from depicting the joy of that day. It’s kind of a reunion between nature and God, but don’t get too flowery about that.” Says Oscar Larmer Sponsored by the Columbian Artist Group, This exhibit will consist of approximately 20 works representing landscapes done from around the Flint Hills region of Kansas and can be seen through September 19th. |
