Painterly Bold Strokes

New York Art World Gallery
Strokes Green

Arts Magazine lauded his work, stating:

"His Expressionist use of bold strokes of paint conveys thrusts of charged emotion. The colors are vivid and effective, and the design and structure of both the figurative and abstract works are sure and solid."

Again, Arts Magazine said of his landscapes:

"These landscapes, painted in broad, bold slashes of color, testify to a secure knowledge of structure and design. Ahntholz is related to Diebenkorn in his expressionist approach to landscape. He pares away all unessential detail and emerges with scenes that suggest both the gaiety and somber beauty of the natural world. His handling of texture and color is admirable but not merely decorative. There is emotion in each stroke that is moving and satisfying.

The artist recreates the same scene over and over and elicits different nuances of subtle feelings from each new variation. His nudes also manifest his sensitivity for expressive line and evocative color."

Fall, No. 1
Oil on Canvas, 22" X 28"
$ 8,000

Time Magazine said that in his landscapes Ahntholz

" . . . varies the light and shadow, alters the shapes, adds and substracts
colors, pulls the eye toward the distance or stops it short".

He has done a series of landscapes capturing the glowing colors of Long Island and also a series of seascapes notable for their fusion of tranquility and strength. A sunlit landscape practically dissolves off the canvas in a finely spun aureole of color and rivets the viewer's interest with the intensity of the emotional content.

Another canvas perfectly captures the turquoise and mauve of a winter seascape, but sets up a tension between the subtlety of the color and the explosiveness of the execution.
