Topic: Leake


In the News (Sat 12 Dec 09)

  
  Eugene Leake | Colveyco | JV Harvey Art & Poetry
Leake had no need to worry about his legacy, of course, because he was by then so well assured an honored place in the hearts of his fellow Marylanders.
Leake's art is neither tragic nor optimistic; it is what he liked to call "tough," however: the quality of unsentimental appreciation and acceptance simply of what is. He admired the "toughness" he saw in such diverse styles as Gustave Coubet's realism and Claude Monet's impressionism.
Leake's brushstroke was like the man himself: precise, energetic and joyous, and ever attuned to the mysterious universal vibration through which paint is transformed into a living thing.

 Eugene "Bud" Leake
Eugene Leake's landscapes seem to hover on the brink of change-clouds ready to shift, a patch of light about to slip into shadow, a breeze poised to blur the reflection on the surface of a pond.
It is the sort of mastery evidenced in Leake's 1980 painting Evening Tree, where a lone tree rises toward the salmon-tinted clouds and into the delicate, fading blues and violets of an evening sky.
It is a testament to Leake's perseverance and single-minded purpose that today, on the eve of a new millennium, he spends his days much as he has for decades-before the canvas, striving to capture the momentary truth of light and form he sees around his Monkton home.
