An inextinguishable flame of passion burns in the heart of Howard Behrens and this fire, translated through the soul of this accomplished artist and dignified gentleman, continues to capture the attention of a legion of admirers, critics and collectors worldwide. In Romance With The Sun, Howard Behrens' most recent body of work truly comes to light with a vibrance, magnificence and technical expertise that is rarely conveyed by any artist in any media. Behrens takes us on a tour of the world to places where he has stopped on his travels and considerately stopped time for us, the viewer, so that we may vicariously enjoy the beauty and tranquility of seashores, villas, coves and gardens. Using a palette knife, Behrens gives a dimensionality to his canvases that reaches beyond the singular planality and is evident even in the smooth surface of the printed page. This monograph celebrates Behrens' life and career, his romance with the sun and with Judi, and brings to all an immeasurable degree of beauty inspired and created by the simple power of nature. Shimmering bodies of water meet sublime skies; rooftops of ancient villages blend into mountain vistas; coves come to life as the beautiful Judi is portrayed as a complement, not distraction, from the essence of the composition. We triply blessed by Behrens in that painterly dexterity, passion and subject matter flawlessly and seamlessly blend to not just recreate stunning panoramas, but to honestly interpret the subtle power of creation with a force of energy that can only be described as "Behrens-like." In his personal and artistic journey, Howard Behrens is diligent in respecting his subject matter and his audience. While there are necessarily similarities in any body of work, Behrens' series of landscapes are inherently individualistic in content. In a painting with a thousand flowers, one gets the idea that the artist felt each and every nuance of every petal. He creates, primarily for the sake of creativity and we are all richer for the experience. So sit back, relax and enjoy a romantic voyage without an airline ticket. Your passage to a world of awe-inspiring beauty is booked, courtesy of Howard Behrens' lifetime Romance With The Sun.. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Fair
