Stephen Hannock (born March 31, 1951) is an American painter known for his atmospheric landscapes––compositions of flooded rivers, nocturnes and large vistas––which often incorporate text inscriptions that relate to family, friends or events of daily life. The artist is known for creating a unique luminosity〔http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=11&int_new=55042#.UXMhc4LbZG4〕 using a signature technique that involves building up layers of paint on the canvas, sandpaper-polishing it, applying new layers of paint and polishing again. Some of his work is thought to be inspired by the Hudson River School. ==Early life and education== It was at Deerfield Academy, where he spent a post-graduate high school year, that Hannock took his first art class since grade school. He later attended Bowdoin College for two years before taking classes at Smith College. In 1976, Hannock earned a degree from Hampshire College based on work done at both Bowdoin and Smith. While at Smith College, Hannock caught the eye of sculptor and printmaker Leonard Baskin with whom he apprenticed for several years creating anatomical drawings, woodcuts, sculptures and paintings. In an ( interview ), Hannock described his apprenticeship with Baskin: :“I got permission to take a season back from hockey to work privately for Baskin, but I never went back,” Hannock said. “Art just took off and required all my focus. Working with Baskin was the best art school you can imagine, going one on one with a guy who was arguably one of the half dozen great artists of the time." When he left Baskin, Hannock found an abandoned factory in Northampton, Massachusetts, to begin a career as an artist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Untitled Stephen Hannock Project )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stephen Hannock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
