Howard Hull (Welch, West Virginia, 1932; lives and works in Louisville, Tennessee) Late Summer, 2013 Acrylic on canvas 32 x 32 inches Knoxville Museum of Art, 2019 gift of Anne and Fred Moffatt Howard Hull has maintained an active studio practice in East Tennessee since the 1960s in addition to his work as a writer and arts educator. Late Summer represents Hull's interest in using views of rugged rural landscapes as points of departure for abstractions featuring vibrant color and undulating contours in scenes that pulse with pictorial movement. According to Hull, the structure of his paintings "is the result of growing up in Western Virginia. When I got up in the morning and walked outside and looked at my surroundings, I saw mountains in every direction…There seemed to be only a small strip of sky above the tops of them…The various shapes and colors of land formed below that strip of sky are so deeply embedded in my subconscious that they will probably always have an effect upon what I paint." |
