Eric Michaels
The Alamo - March 6, 1836 30 x 48 Oil on Canvas Signed lower right Eric Michaels After withstanding a thirteen day siege of their small mission outside of San Antonio, Texas, 189 brave men finally succumbed to a superior force of 4000 Mexican troops. Their deaths come to symbolize courage and sacrifice in the cause of liberty. Eric Michaels (b 1948) Perhaps the most distinctive quality of Eric Michaels work is its international flavor. Painting in far flung locations has given him a keen grasp of local light conditions and has allowed him to participate in the native experience. His deep empathy and technical virtuosity take him straight to the heart of the human pageants he portrays. Michaels has exhibited at the Royal Watercolor Society in London, nine years at the Artists of America Show in Denver, and is a regular exhibitor in the Great America Artists Exhibition in Cincinnati. His paintings hang in private, corporate museum and state collections including the Albuquerque Museum of Fine Art, the Americana Museum, the Institute of American Indian Arts, Phillips Petroleum, IBM, and the State Collection of the Governor’s Gallery, Santa Fe, NM
