An American View: Barbara Ernst Prey at the Mona Bismarck Foundation until January 12, 2008

Drawing from the technical tradition of renowned American artists such as Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper and carrying on their development of a truly American school, Barbara Ernst Prey’s painting is based on European traditions, but moves in its own direction in terms of treatment and subject matter. These paintings evoke the somewhat subtle symbols of the spirit of America and its cultural foundations – a fluttering home-sewn quilt, lingering twilight on the coast of Maine, Adirondack chairs grouped in the family garden, lobster fisherman’s dories at rest – symbols of the deep, cultural spirit which binds the United States. Ask any American. These are images of the soul of the country and its unified dreams, emblems which speak to fifth generation Americans, as well as newly arrived immigrants.
