Title is Noonday Altea Spain. 20" by 30" unframed. 27 1/2" by 37 1/2" framed. Oil on Canvas. Provenance: Blair Galleries Santa Fe, NM. From a Private Collection Exhibited: Grand Central Galleries, New York, NY, Nov. 1968 Clark Hulings (1922 - 2011) was active/lived in New York, New Mexico, Florida / Italy, Egypt, Spain, Romania. Clark Hulings is known for Town-landscape, genre and still life painting. An artist whose realistic paintings reflect his world-wide travels, Clark Hulings spent much time as a child in Spain and Louisiana and from these experiences developed a great interest in rustic settings and primitive lifestyles. Many of his works reflect old trees and old buildings, and throughout his career, he has frequently returned to Spain and Louisiana for subject matter. But he has made his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico where, with the help of Hispanic craftsman, he has built an adobe home. He was raised in a suburb of New York, trained at the Art Students League, and was inspired at the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Realist and Impressionist painters. He became an illustrator, but the pull of landscape subjects led him to full time fine-art painting. He has been a dominant presence in contemporary Western art since the 1970s, although most of his work is non-western, and he never paints cowboys. He took the first-ever Prix de West at the National Academy of Western Art in 1973 and had numerous one-man shows at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City and the Museum of New Mexico. For many years after this recognition for western art, he quit exhibiting, selling only to a select group of collectors, but in November, 1999, he will have a major exhibition of oil paintings at the Nedra Matteucci Galleries in Santa Fe.
