| About
Steven Lorber...
Steven Lorber started his art training at the age of
eight, taking private lessons from one of Philadelphia's
prominent watercolor artists. During his high school
years Steven showed an incredible amount of talent and
creativity which led him to receive an art scholarship.
He attended Hartford School of Art, Philadelphia School
of the Arts, and The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
His
style of art work has been influenced by those American
artists who traveled to France during the late 19th
century and started the artist colony in Giverny France,
Claude Monet's village. These Americans, such as Charles
Courtney Curran, James Abott McNeil Whistler, John Singer
Sargent, Mary Cassatt, Willard Leroy Metcalf, Theodore
Robinson, William Merritt Chase, John Henry Twachtman
and Frederick Frieske made important contributions to
the Impressionistic movement in America and Europe.
They all had a profound impact on influencing Lorber,
both personally and artistically. Perhaps this is why
some people have classified his style as Bucks County
Impressionistic.
Steven's
primary mediums are oil and watercolors. Along with
his love of landscape paintings, Steven is an accomplished
portrait artist. He is a member of the Portrait Society
of America, the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society and
Artists of Yardley. Steven resides in Bucks County,
which provides an endless supply of inspiration for
his paintings. |
