JOHN NEUBAUER
BIO
John Daniel Neubauer is a native of New York City and a long time resident of the Hudson Valley. It is the beauty of this area which is captured in many of his oil paintings, drawings, and etchings.
Neubauer began his study at the Art Students League in Manhattan. While there he received training in life drawing from the late Robert Beverly Hale and instruction in oil painting from David Leffel. He then began an exhaustive study of landscape painting working directly from nature within the Northeastern United States as well as Italy.
The tradition of the Hudson River and Barbizon schools is apparent throughout Neubauer’s work. The “distillation of time and light on canvas” is a hallmark of his landscapes. In his oeuvre Neubauer captures the different moods of nature. Although a number of his landscapes are highly representational, the majority are impressions and transformations of nature inspired by memory and imagination that capture the feeling of the rural Northeast taking on a filmy and dreamlike quality. A dramatic interaction is accomplished between his landscapes and the figures within it.
Neubauer has exhibited work throughout the Northeast. His work has received numerous awards and may be found in many private and corporate collections, including a large body of work within the Dunn & Bradstreet corporate collection.
