Don Wynn Bullhead Fishing

Painter Don Wynn has had a lifetime association with the Adirondacks, beginning in 1952, when he first visited the region with his parents. Born in Brooklyn in 1942, Wynn has a BFA from Pratt Institute and an MFA from Indiana University. He has been a  visiting artist at many universities and institutions, including Yale University and the Art Institute of Chicago.

In 1970, his work first received international recognition in the Whitney Museum’s landmark Twenty-Two Realists exhibition. In 1978, he was the first living artist to be given a solo exhibition at the Adirondack Museum. In 1995, the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired one of his oils for its Twentieth Century Collection.

Although Wynn’s work was classified as New Realism at the start of his career, many reviewers have since noted that his paintings are distinct from this movement. Rather than being literal depictions of subjects, they are interpretive, frequently presenting myths in secular guise, and often in a subliminal or allusive way.

 

Hours: 8:30 AM-5 PM, Monday through Saturday. Exhibits are free and open to the public.
