About the artist:

1943 - Born: Watertown, NY Darryl Hughto made his initial reputation as an abstract painter showing in New York City during the seventies. Works from that period in the Clement Greenberg Collection were recently included in the traveling museum exhibition of this collection. He brings both the eye and techniques of a highly talented abstractionist. His large scale acrylic landscapes in particular speak forcefully about his roots in Abstract Formalism. Hughto might be seen as returning to the genres of painting revolutionized in the decades surrounding the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from the Impressionists to early Modernists. The work of Darryl Hughto (b. 1943) is held in the permanent collections of many important museums and other prestigious public and private collections, including: Contemporary Art Museum, Houston Denver Museum of Fine Art Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum New York Gardner Museum, Boston Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Portland Museum of Art, Portland, OR EDUCATION 1965 - Bachelor of Science, SUNY College at Buffalo, Art Education Major 1969 - Master of Fine Arts, Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Ml SOLO EXHIBITIONS 2001 - CS.
