Tom Seghi

Art Brokerage: Tom Seghi American Artist: b. 1942-2011. Born in Chicago, Seghi received his MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago then taught at Elmhurst College, Washington University in St. Louis, and South Florida Art Center in South Beach. In his early days of full-time painting and part-time teaching on Lincoln Road, his midwestern landscapes took on a totally new palette and he began to pursue a new vision based primarily on the pastel colors and tropical forms of South Florida and its fruits. Seghi has developed a unique, refined range of paintings of fruit forms. Occasionally he has drifted into painting other subjects, such as artists' tools and found objects, but his primary loyalty has been to the subject matter of apples and pears. The irony in this enormous body of work is that they still appear as landscapes but the landscape has a large pear in the middle. Listings wanted.
