richard danskin
richard danskin is a name synonymous with art.
He has held a brush or pencil in his hand throughout his life and has always
had an acute visual memory and a perceptive eye. A native Californian, born
in 1936, richard was in his mid-twenties when he opened his own home design
office near San Francisco. Designs for more than six-hundred luxurious
custom-built homes emanated from his office - homes that have been featured
in many national magazines and have won numerous awards. Not limited to
homes, danskin has also designed boars, automobiles, swimming pools and
exotic gardens.
Since 1967 richard has devoted himself full time to the art of painting -
working as many as 350 days per year in an exhausting time consuming effort
to combine the three dimensional quality and color blending that are found
only in true representational work.
Having his own galleries in Carmel for eleven years, Palm Springs for
thirteen years and beautiful El Paseo in Palm Desert, California for the
past twenty years, along with Palm Beach, Florida, thousands of visitors
have viewed his paintings and he has become one of the West's leading seeing
artists.
Well known for many years as a realistic
landscape painter, he has turned his artistic bent to interpreting cities of
the world into 3-dimensional works of art. He spends many hours traveling
and photographing cities of the world and then using his design background
combined with artistic creativity to create something whimsical, exciting
and new. Most of his clients exclaim with excitement when they see his
cities with words of "oh, I've eaten in that restaurant!" or "I stayed in
that hotel on my honeymoon!" or other fond remembrances.
So far richard has available in 3-d lithographs over 30 cities including New
York; San Francisco; Las Vegas; Hollywood; New Orleans; Washington CD;
Seattle; Palm Beach, Florida; Chicago; Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills; Lahina,
Maui and Waikki to name just a few.
