Malcom Liepke

Liepke is an American artist born 1954; he first attended the Art Center College in Los Angeles and later dropped out to move to New York, to learn directly from the works of the great artists of the past.

"When I moved to New York, I started going to museums and learning from all the great artists... Velazquez, Whistler, Chase, Vuillard, Sorolla and others. I learned color and composition and technique. 1 realized that their work was my kind of work. They were my heroes, so I became their student."

I'm not an art critic, so I won't pretend; the only thing I can tell is how very much I love his works, his women in particular, the grace and the intimate and passionate feelings that each painting emits.
