Tom ViethTom Vieth was born in Davenport, Iowa, in 1957. He received a BA from Dartmouth College, graduating with Highest Distinction Honors in his major, and attended the School for the Museum of Fine Arts and the University of Iowa's graduate program for fine arts. In 1987, he received a BFA from Boston University.“My vision in painting is to create images of places I would like to be and pleasant feelings I would like to feel. I hope to present these places in such a way that the specific location is not as important as is the sense that the viewer has experienced a similar place or felt the feeling that is represented by the image.” The most obvious influences on his work are French artists Cezanne, Matisse, and Dufy. American painters Milton Avery, Marsden Hartley and Maurice Prendergast and the German painter Max Beckman have also been influential. “All of these painters are colorists and present images that transcend the time and place of the scenes they depict. As an artist, what I appreciate even more than their masterly use of color and line is the boldness and confidence expressed in the images they create.” Artwork
