Dozier Bell
Flock, city, realist black and white charcoal skyscape drawing

2015

About the Item

Dozier Bell’s paintings and intimate, diminutive charcoal drawings (some of which measure as small as 2 x 4 inches) bring to mind 19th-century American painters Albert Pinkham Ryder, R. A. Blakelock, Frederick Church, as well as England’s John Constable. Exacting and deliberate, often mysterious impressions of nature's disquieting, transitory presence, her works comprise a vision of nature that sweeps across vast plains and valleys, ascends into lofty skies, and reaches toward far distant horizons,… The vision often pictures nature at dawn or dusk, its light generally dimmed and pale or momentarily darkened by clouds, its expanse sometimes broken only by a first or last glimpse of the flashing sun, its temper otherwise solemn, even troubled, as if brooding. In 2019, Bell was awarded her first Monhegan Island Residency, and she returned to the island in September 2020. While there, she was inspired to begin working with watercolor, a new medium for her, as well as to continue to create paintings and charcoal drawings. This exhibition focuses on the work created on the island and inspired by her time there. Monhegan, which is off the coast of Maine, has been drawing artists from around the world since the mid-19th century who have been deeply affected by its rugged landscape and unique light -- including William Trost Williams, George Bellows, Rockwell Kent, Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer and three generations of the Wyeth family.

    By Dozier Bell
    Located in New York, NY
    The drawings and paintings of Dozier Bell are at once deep evocations of natural environments culled from memory and experience past, and reflections of a life of philosophical inquiry and keen observation that merge in her work as marvels of virtuosity and poignant imagery. Her work is a visual autobiography of a sort, one that recalls generations of a Maine family that worked the land, kept the wilderness at bay, planted tree farms...
