Meg Black's original landscape, seascape, garden, and New England scene paintings are recognized internationally by collectors and galleries for their masterfully colored Impressionist style and their unique texture. Meg's paintings have been reviewed in such publications as Art New England, the Boston Globe, Cape Cod Life, the Harvard University Gazette, the Columbus Dispatch, and the Syracuse New Times. Some excerpts follow.
“Meg Black is truly an inspiration. You see her magic with that pulp,
and you just want to try it for yourself.“
- HGTV, April, 2002
“Meg Black turns handmade
paper into stunning works of art . . . They are subtly colored –
she often chooses complementary colors – and the handmade paper
gives the surface a texture, like an impressionist would render with a
brush.”
- “Painterly
Perspectives”, Cape Cod Life, September, 1998
“Meg Black’s garden scenes have a rich,
impressionistic quality. Sunny and colorful, they are impressionistic
in the traditional manner of the Boston School in which light enhances
rather than dissolves forms”.
- “Views of Nature Lush, Stark or Haunting”. Columbus
Dispatch, April 30, 1995
“Black is an accomplished painter, with
a brilliant and consistently applied theory of color, and the ability
to create truly convincing masses and spaces. Her compositions are unusually
strong . . . Since the landscapes and garden scenes she depicts are beautiful
in themselves, and her technique allows only strong, light-filled colors,
the resulting images have a wonderful freshness and luminosity”.
