James Harrill (1936-1996) gained international recognition for his
acrylic paintings of sun-drenched Greek buildings and of New Mexican
adobes contrasted against expanses of clear, blue skies. His
southwestern art concentrates on the soft mixture of the colors found in
adobe houses, streets, and sky, and is usually accented with a bright
door or window.
Harrill's work has been exhibited in galleries in Athens, Beirut and
Zurich. His work is widely collected and distinguished because of a
"fascination with the elemental forms of squares, circles and triangles,
the cornerstones of my paintings (quoted Harrill)."
Although the painting has concluded, Harrill's images are timeless, as
are the feelings they evoke.
