A propos de cet article

A 3" tear to dusjacket, which has been taped. Inscribed "To Jim Light (?) - with fond memories of his great low country Ray Ellis". Includes a print of Ray Ellis's "Drifting Along Tidal Creek" laid in. A combination of words by the eminent news commentator and reproductions of oil and watercolor paintings by noted artist Ray Ellis evoke the fresh, natural beauty of an exploratory sea voyage from Chesapeake Bay to Key West. RAY ELLIS painted for over seventy years on all seven continents. He is widely recognized for the originality of his paintings. Ellis was born in Philadelphia and attended the famed Philadelphia Museum School of Art. His first one-man show was held in 1947 at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In the early 1980s, Ray Ellis and Walter Cronkite collaborated on a series of fine art books which celebrated America's coastlines: South by Southeast, North by Northeast, and Westwind. Ellis' paintings have been the subject of fourteen additional books. The themes have varied widely; from the southern lowcountry to Martha's Vineyard, flowers and gardens, moonlight, golf, and fishing. For three consecutive years beginning in 1998, Ellis was commissioned by the President to paint scenes of the White House to be reproduced as the official Christmas card. In 2004, the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, Georgia honored the depth and breadth of Ellis' career with a major traveling exhibition titled Ray Ellis in Retrospect: A Painter's Journey. He was subsequently awarded the Salmagundi Club's Medal of Honor for Lifetime Achievement in the Arts. Ellis is represented in fine galleries across the country. His works have been exhibited in U.S. Embassies in Geneva, Vienna and London. Ray Ellis paintings are in the permanent collections of the White House, museums across the country and private collections worldwide.
