The Good Life XXVIII

John Stuart Ingle is known for his realistic still-life watercolors. He insisted that his work was not photorealist but informed by his visual intuition. During his years teaching painting at a small college in Indiana, his style was very geometric and abstract. After 1975, he made a drastic change toward increased realism, citing his desire to “realize, as fully as possible, the extraordinarily vivid and tactile presence of things seen in a certain way.”
