Paul Shapiro

Art Brokerage: Paul Shapiro American Artist: b. 1939. Paul Shapiro (born 1939) is an American Abstract Expressionist and landscape painter.[1]rnNew Mexican author Jon Carver writes of Shapiro's work: "Paul's interest in art and his commitment to painting is unassailable and extends to the depths of his being." In the 1960s, Shapiro was part of the Abstract Expressionist movement, but a 1970 Paris exhibition of early 20th century Expressionist painters inspired him to pursue landscape painting for the next two decades. His works were characterized by bold color and gesture. His 1982 move to Santa Fe, New Mexico crystallized his love of landscape painting. In the 1990s, he shifted back to nonobjective abstract, but influenced of the land can still be discerned in his recent paintings. Paul Shapiro creates visceral abstract paintings on paper and panels. His recent series, Quatumscape, is inspired by natural forces and the landscape. Listings wanted.
