*****
Robert Bruce Posner was given the gift of being able to capture the emotions of ordinary people. His knack for deciphering these feelings garnered him admiration in the art world, yet he was never sure of whether his work was deserving of such praise. In this way, he created many works that were lost or given away. Most of these masterpieces are not documented on this site –including many of his oils.
He was inspired by the masters who came before him and the constantly changing world in which he lived. His collection of art books was evident of his adoration for the likes of Degas, Goya, Corot, Ingres, Velásquez, and Corbet. Although, he also appreciated artists like Larry Rivers, De Cooning, and Klein.
Robert Posner experimented with multiple mediums—including ink, pencil, oil, and pastels; although, he also dabbled and experimented with various printmaking techniques. Each work was begun, but was not completed in his eyes until years later. |
