A wider access to Fuller Potter's work Access to, and knowledge of the work of this towering American genius artist has long been restricted to the fortunate few who knew him personally and to persons belonging to their tight knit networks. The purpose of this site is to open up this work to a wider audience, by assembling and showing the best and most representative of Fuller Potter's paintings, locating them and indicating who are their current owners. The Slide Show illustrates the variety of modes and art styles practiced by Fuller Potter from the beginning of his career. Fuller excelled in all these styles, and often refused to mix them together. Abstraction eventually became his preferred mode of expression. When he embraced this mode, he never returned to realism or figurative painting. His earlier pieces have become highly prized collector items. Fuller Potter indeed displayed an aristocratic "Connecticut Yankee" behaviour of sorts. Throughout his life, he actively participated in exhibitions in the States of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, but did not much show his work in New York City or Boston or in States outside New England. |
