JOSEPH MCGURL
Born 1958 in Boston, Massachusetts; lives in Cataumet, Massachusetts
In order to gain a deeper understanding of my subject, I devote a significant portion of my time to plein air landscape painting and always find new revelations working directly from nature. Although my studio paintings are often imaginary, they are informed by thousands of those plein air studies painted over the years, which lend emotional and empirical truth to my vision of the western landscape.
JOSEPH GREW UP WORKING WITH HIS FATHER, James, who was a muralist. He graduated from Massachusetts College of Art, worked for a few years as a yacht captain, and has since devoted his life to landscape painting. He travels and paints throughout the West, inspired by its natural beauty and history.
Joseph has had retrospective shows at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, the Cahoon Museum of American Art, Saint Botolph Club of Boston. In 2024, he was selected as the Coors Western Art Show Featured Artist. He is in the collections of the National Western Stock Show, New Britain Museum of American Art, Cape Cod Museum of Art, Cahoon Museum of American Art, Mellon Collection, Art Renewal Center, Tweed Museum of Art, Forbes Collection, and the Westmoreland Museum of Art. He has been designated a Living Master by the Art Renewal Center.
