Art in Embassies: Don Resnick

Tidal Inlet 40x50

Don Resnick was a landscape painter enchanted by the beauty and magnificence of Long Island, New York’s terrain, sea, and sky. Resnick would sketch and draw from nature, but he never painted outdoors. Depicted with loose brushwork and “watercolor-like lucidity,” Resnick’s luminous paintings sought to communicate his vision of the environment. According to Resnick: “the inspiration for my paintings is the intense experience of a place—its particular light, its particular space—at a unique moment in time.”
