Heather James Fine Art - Jackson, Wyoming
Earl Cunningham was a twentieth century American modernist who romanticized the American landscape with simplicity. A
self-taught artist who painted mostly landscapes of the coasts of Maine, New York, Michigan, North and South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida, Cunningham used vivid colors, flat perspective, and a few recurrent themes. His works depict the many small
interactions of the Atlantic coastal ecosystem, the dockworkers, harbor pilots, fisherman, farmers, waterfowl and American
Indian tribes.
