John Barber Limited Edition Giclee on Canvas:"Approaching the Mark"Item #: BAR-1Title: Approaching the Mark Edition:: Limited Edition Giclee on Canvas 125 Image size: 24" x 36" About the Artist : Nationally acclaimed artist, John M. Barber, has painted the Chesapeake Bay and the eastern seaboard for many years. He is also fond of painting cityscapes and architecture but his heart is truly in the maritime subjects, primarily the Chesapeake and its vanishing ways of life. We often find in his work the few remaining oyster dredging skipjacks and other traditional vessels, lighthouses and harbors. Calling John Barber the "premier chronicler of Chesapeake Bay life, "J. Russell Jinishian, a leading authority on contemporary marine art, praised the artist's technical skill and painstaking attention to detail. "Many artists paint skipjacks," he explained, "but John's emotive depth puts him on another level entirely. Should the skipjacks disappear, " he noted, "Barber's paintings will provide a valuable historical record of the waterman's era for generations to come." |
