Selected Early Creative Works: A Memoir
This brief biography/memoir is about the talented American artist and teacher Mr. Robert B. Ferguson (1920 - 1990). He can be portrayed as a twentieth century, American modern art painter. His preferred painting styles were in impressionism, and abstract expressionism. “Impressionism” was a nineteenth century art movement. “Expressionism” in fine art began in the early twentieth century and both styles are sympathetic with what is “modern”, and therefore are “modernist” art movements. All of Robert’s fine art painting demonstrated character, maturity, and intellectual qualities. He created superior and complex images in life and nature including seascapes, landscapes, still life, and portraiture. He liked to show his observations of life, and nature, his visual perceptions, which provided depth perception, complex spatial dimensions, and relationships. He had a masterful use of color. All of his fine art paintings were more than just “beautiful pictures of art!” Robert painted, exhibited, and sold his fine art paintings in the United States, and Europe beginning about 1945 – 1946. Robert (Bob) is one of North America’s twentieth century crown jewels in the field of creative arts, and one of the best modern art painters of his generation! Once you see his modern art and his remarkable artistic style, you will never forget!
