Fine Art: Stephen Hannock
Stephen W. Hannock (born March 31, 1951) is an American painter known for his atmospheric landscapes––compositions of flooded rivers, nocturnes and large vistas––which often incorporate text inscriptions that relate to family, friends or events of daily life. The artist is known for creating a unique luminosity using a signature technique that involves building up layers of paint on the canvas, sandpaper-polishing it, applying new layers of paint and polishing again. Some of his work is inspired by the Hudson River School. His work is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Smith College Museum of Art, and the National Museum of American Art. Hannock started his career in Western MA as a student of Leonard Baskin and his earlier works are often etchings, serigraphs, and woodcuts in Baskin’s style.
