Painting from Life, Still Life, and Landscape
Peter Homitzky offers a comprehensive studio course designed to aid students in
the development of a personal, chromatic and philosophical viewpoint. Individual
attention to each student allows him to work fundamentally with beginners and to explore
complex form, color and line relationships with more experienced and advanced students.
Practical demonstrations of painting techniques and material handling and periodic class
discussions of the work of contemporary, modern and Old Masters, are designed to
investigate the formal, historical and structural aspects of contemporary realist painting.
Mr. Homitzky stresses the entire picture plane and surface and encourages his students
not to parrot nature, but to reinvent it.
Mr. Homitzky studied with Jean Libert", Joseph Hirsch and Dan Rice at the Art
Students League and at the San Francisco Art Institute. He has exhibited at Reese
Gallery, Frank Caro Gallery, G. Lawrence Hubert Gallery, G.W. Einstein Gallery, Sid
Deutsch Gallery, A. M. Sachs Gallery, Alonzo Gallery, Roko Gallery and Halpert
Galleryùùall in New York City, the Jersey City Museum, Aljira Center for Contemporary
Art, New Jersey State Museum, Newark Museum, Montclair Museum, Morris Museum,
New Jersey Center for the Visual Arts, Art Awareness, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Noyes Museum, Wichita Museum of
Art, Gardner Gallery at the Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, Hunterdon Museum of
Art, the Robeson and Stedman Galleries at Rutgers University, the Jane Voorhees
Zimmerli Museum, the Butler Institute of American Art, and many other places. He was
twice awarded the New Jersey Council on the Arts Fellowships and was named New
Jerseyäs Distinguished Artist for 1981-1982. A retrospective of Mr. Homitzkyäs work
was presented, with a full catalog, September 2002 through January 2003 at the new
building of the Jersey City Museum.
