Note: |
Armin Buchterkirch: An American Impressionist
painter and illustrator, Armin Buchterkirch studied art in New York and
lived and worked in both Corning and Rochester for most of his career. Yet
today he is most famous for his great watercolours of the American South
and the Caribbean, most particularly the Bahamas. His many fine scenes of
the villages and countryside of the Bahamas are now considered a valuable
artistic and historical record of these islands at the turn of the century. |
|
Armin Buchterkirch was a full member of the Rochester Art
Club. Today examples of his fine art are included in the permanent collections
of many major museums, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington,
DC, and the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts. |

Sunlight and Shade, Bahamas is a superb example of
Buchterkirch's art. His exploration of the effects of colors within shifting
bands of light and shade makes this watercolor a valuable example of American
Impressionist painting. Every brush stroke in this great work of art conveys
the warmth and color of a beautiful moment in time. |
