LEOPOLD, RICHARD AND ROBERT SEYFFERT
Welcome to a visual arts potpourri showing the paintings and lives of three generations of artists spanning the 20th century and into the 21st. Leopold, Richard and Robert Seyffert, grandfather, nephew and grandson are three New York artists who painted representationaly, exhibited, and taught. Today Robert Seyffert maintains a studio in the South Bronx. Follow the links on the menu above or scroll through the paintings below to see past and present through the works of this family of artists.
At the heart of the these three careers is the artists devotion to oil painting and working from life. All art work shown here is about drawing with paint and modeling with color, creating a painting that's like a huge sticky note in that artists life. Each piece is an individual part of that time in the painter's life - a day or a week- made to be a place or a person of note. All three artists were trained in American Schools- mostly at the Pennsylvania Academy, the National Academy and the Parsons School of Design. Leopold's influences were predominately from a European tradition, Richard's from the American and European realists and Robert's from both American contemporary art and the European tradition.
