Dimensions: 26.5" H x 32.5" W Artist or Maker: Marco Murolo (Italy / Oregon, 1908 - 1988) Medium: Oil on Board Literature: The following is an excerpt from Marco Murolo's Thesis in fulfillment of the requirements of his Master of Arts Degree in 1958. This summary of thoughts and ideas on art is related to and generated from my past experiences and should not be construed as prejudice against modern expressions and contemporary ideals. Because I have always accepted and admired varieties of art expression as well as new changes in the technical approach to painting, I accept modifications and beneficial discussion about principles, forms and, expressions in the art of today with the sincere desire to improve my knowledge. However, at the same time I cannot force myself to a definite and complete abdication of the principles of craftsmanship and established fundamentals on which, I believe, art is based. Since I consider myself conservative my art, in general, is an expression of my own conservatism Having had experience in modern expression; I am convinced that change of forms will succeed naturally in my art and will develop from experiences in the past and from experimentation in new methods. However, it is extremely problematic that an artist, even an outstanding one, can escape entirely from the mannerism and the clichés of the period in which he lives. Yet it is my belief that the artistic integrity of a painter shows quite extensively his own character and is expressed in his works. Many individuals possess a degree of creative power. For some, it may be imagination; for others, talent or artistic consciousness. But as we imagine, so we think. Whatever talent one possesses develops in relation to the individual's life situation and environment. Occasionally, an artist dedicates his work to a cause; in such cases, he must be deeply concerned with the very narrow margin dividing sentiment and sentimentality in painting. Sentiment in painting is love for that which you are painting; sentimentality is mainly a desire to please and impress with certain effects. Provenance: From the important and esteemed collection of John Waddingham (1915-2002). John Waddingham was internationally known, but is remembered as the Art Director for The Oregonian for twenty years (and Art Director at the Oregon Journal thirteen years before that), and an artist of popular local appeal. His accolades are extensive: the winner of numerous awards, works represented in numerous galleries and museums throughout the country, exhibitions and one person shows in America and Europe, a member of the American Watercolor Society and other important art organizations, an illustrator, art teacher and show judge. Waddingham was a featured artist in American Artist magazine on three occasions between 1956 and 1998.
