Williams Fine Art Dealers is pleased to offer a special exhibition and sale of 17 small works by contemporary master Donald Jurney.

Donald Jurney has enjoyed a successful career spanning four decades and his work has been widely exhibited and is eagerly collected both in the US and abroad.

Because of this success, his works have been out of reach for some; this special exhibition of small works is conceived particularly with such would-be collectors in mind.

Each piece is painted in oil on linen canvas mounted to archival quality board and measures 8x8". These exquisite works demonstrate in a small format the mastery of light and of atmosphere which are the hallmarks of Jurney's larger work. In short, they are a delight!

Works will be sold on a first come basis and we anticipate that they will not be around for long. Please enjoy the catalog, and visit the gallery to see works in person, or contact us for additional information and photos.

Thank you,
Ginny Williams

"Donald Jurney's painted landscapes offer the viewer a soothing, silent, scenic respite from the burdens of modernity. No signs of technology or urban life mar his pastoral vision...It is as if we have been transported to another time and place--and indeed we have."

-Janice Simon, Josiah Meigs Distinguished Associate Professor of Art History, University of Georgia

Donald Jurney was born in Rye, New York, in 1945, and was educated at Columbia University, the Pratt Institute, and the Art Students League. His career has spanned nearly four decades and has included over twenty-five one-person shows in San Francisco, New York, Boston and elsewhere. Jurney's work is influenced by his time spent living and working in the Hudson River Valley, England, France, Ireland and in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. He currently maintains a studio in Massachusetts. His work is a tapestry woven from a lifetime of experience in drawing and painting, and from careful understanding and observation of the world around us.

“Often a painting is a conversation between disparate shapes and forms, ... here brilliant, there disguised---in a carefully-conceived dance of light. This may be a celebration of a place, perhaps, or an investigation of an evanescent mood. For the viewer who has both the time and inclination to really look, one hopes to afford, by way of a painted surface wrought of subtleties, the opportunity to explore at leisure the wonder of the world in which we live.” - Donald Jurney
