I was born in Princeton, NJ in 1960 and grew up in New York and Paris. Some of my earliest memories include drawing and painting, and I never lost that love. I was trained at New York University, Parsons School of Design, and the New School back in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, when Abstract Expressionism was still reigning as king. Most of my teachers tried desperately to steer me into abstraction, but instead I drove them to distraction. I stuck to my preference for romantic realism and have never regretted it.

He was born in South Carolina and remains a southerner to this day although he has lived in New York since he got out of the army in 1968. He spent 30 years in the textile industry as a fabric designer and creative director.
When Gordon was 52, he left textiles behind and became a full time resident of the Hamptons. He soon began studying with Ralph Carpentier and Janet Jennings to prepare himself for a second career as a full time landscape painter.
While Gordon had little time to paint while designing high fashion woolen and worsted fabrics, his work kept him immersed in color and composition. Overseas travel afforded the opportunity to spend a hundred weekends studying art in the museums and galleries of Paris, London, Edinburgh, Florence, Venice, Tokyo and Seoul.

The East End has been a vibrant art community since the 1870s, when the Long Island Rail Road made the area easily accessible from New York City. Thomas Moran settled in East Hampton with his family in 1884, and his studio soon became a gathering place for artists and intellectuals. A number of Moran's bucolic landscapes are featured in the exhibition, including A Midsummer Day, East Hampton, Long Island (1903), which captures the lush greenery of the countryside. Childe Hassam (1859-1935), one of America's most prominent Impressionists, was a seasonal resident of the Hamptons from 1919 until his death. One of many artists fascinated by the area's unique quality of light, Hassam used short brushstrokes and a vivid color palette to evoke glimmering and flickering rays of light in his oil painting Little Old Cottage, Egypt Lane, East Hampton. |
