Rackstraw Downes
Rackstraw Downes (born 1939) is a British-born realist painter and author. His oil paintings are notable for their meticulous detail accumulated during months of plein-air sessions, depictions of industry and the environment, and elongated compositions with complex perspective.〔"He like jam-ups of culture and nature, where practical human uses overlap with indifferent geology and shaggy flora--he is the bard of weeds." Peter Schjeldahl, ''The New Yorker'', quoted by Schwartz, Sanford; Storr, Robert, and Downes, Rackstraw. ''Rackstraw Downes''. Princeton University Press, April 2005.〕
==Education==
Born Rodney Harry Rackstraw Downes in Pembury, Kent, England, he moved to the United States and studied painting as an exchange student at The Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut from 1957-58.〔Schwartz, Sanford, et al., 2005, page 175.〕 He then returned to England and attended Cambridge University, where he was at St John's College and received a Bachelor of Arts in English literature. Back in the United States, he studied at the Yale School of Art with Neil Welliver, Al Held and Alex Katz, and he received a Master of Fine Arts in painting in 1964. Originally an abstract painter, in 1966 Downes changed course and began working in the realist, plein-air style he is known for.〔http://brooklynrail.org/2010/07/artseen/rackstraw-downes-in-focus〕
