Larry Horowitz is an American landscape painter born in 1956 in New York City. Horowitz graduated from SUNY Purchase and immediately won the prestigious and coveted position as apprentice to American master, Wolf Kahn. Kahn, perhaps the best known and most significant landscape painter of the latter 20th century, trained and guided Horowitz for six years. Under his tutelage, Horowitz learned to walk the thin line between realism and abstraction, and to appreciate - and in many cases fabricate by hand - the immense variety of interesting materials available to the professional artist. Since setting up his own studio outside of New York City, Larry Horowitz shows in galleries across the United States and internationally. Selected to participate in the Arts-In-Embassies program, Horowitz's paintings can be found in the United States Embassies in Finland and Russia. Horowitz's work captures the beauty of the American landscape with an expert use of texture and color that invites imagination and discovery. Larry Horowitz was most recently mentioned in an article by Marcia Gay Harden in Time Magazine in 2009 as "a landscape painter who uses the brush to make poetry." [show less]
