From childhood he had a noticeable and keen ability in drawing and painting. At the age of 16 he studied at the Academy in Berze, acquiring the fundamental skills. The skills were honed with the experience and observations that come with service in the Hungarian army and Nat in Munich. Antal Goldfinger arrived in Seattle, Washington in 1987 and supported his wife and two sons in a variety of occupations while strengthening his artistic vision. In 1990 he went back to Hungary to study with a highly regarded Hungarian master of landscape painting, learning the traditional techniques of “plein aire” painting, landscape painting done in the open air rather than in a studio. This technique encourages “alla prima” or painting without preliminary drawing and an appreciation for true values because of the frequently changing outdoor light. Antal Goldfinger spent endless days painting at Lake Balaton, the great lake of central Europe, where he fell in love with marine painting. On his return to Seattle, Antal continued his studies in Figure painting at the University of Washington. He explains that this experience was of particular importance in “identifying color” in a formal and comprehensive approach to art. At this time he began to apply all he had learned to a new interpretation of landscape painting by painting busy market scenes brimming with the colors of the vegetable stands. With this subject matter, a gradual interest in still life painting began. Returning to Florida with his family, he met and studied with a renowned Polish master of the genre, clarifying certain techniques and ideas in his mind concerning his objectives as an artist. Today, confident in his unique position as an important still life and marine painter, Antal’s methods of painting have become synonymous with quality. He rapidly draws the essential object of his composition, and then begins blocking in the main areas of color. Bringing the painting to completion through subtle blends of tints and tones, his us of light and dark intervals across the forms allows the eye to enjoy the overall conception of rhythms. The gestation of his subject matter may take years, but once the problems of composition are resolved in color pencil sketches, he paints directly on the canvas. Antal Goldfinger is a master of the equilibrium achieved through combining classical balance of form and space with the spontaneous execution of color. It is this magical unity of form and color that makes him an artist recognized throughout the world. Antal’s works are exhibited in the finest Galleries of the United States and in museums worldwide, including some of the most important private collections.   Place a Bid!
