"Little Falls Autumn Dance" by Lutz Scherneck

Lutz graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting. During his studies he fell in love with the work of French Impressionist painters and contemporary American artists Pollock, Rothko, Hofmann and Avery. Their influence showed in the artwork he would create.

Lutz suggests, “Why call it a landscape painting? It generally has landscape forms and may have the traditional horizon line or dimensionally is wider than it is tall. None of those points need to be the rule.”

In describing his exhibit, Lutz states, “This selection of paintings has aspects that fall into the classification of landscape painting as I understand it to be. Whether figurative, still life, landscape or some other classification, the categorization has no real meaning. Think of the artist Cezanne and his landscapes of human figures or his still lifes that become a landscape of fruit.”
