 B. 1942 - Born 1942 and educated in the fine arts at the Art students League in New York city, John Pitre evolved to become Americas leading surrealist any other artist. Pitre gained extraordinary popularity during the 60s and 70s painting daring themes such as over population, the threat of drugs and the ecological deterioration of our planet well before they become the obvious problems of our times. His social commentary paintings are now considered twentieth century classics, sought after by prominent collectors world wide. From his early days as an art student Pitre was fascinated with the most challenging and difficult of all the classical art forms to properly execute "Surrealism". With this powerful vehicle he created entire imagined worlds completely from his mind, evoking emotion and response in his viewers more so than with any other medium.
