Oscar BLUEMNER (born June 21, 1867, Prenzlau, Prussia [present-day Germany]–died January 12, 1938, Braintree, Massachusetts, US)
"Houses or trees may be red or green, skies may be blue or crimson, it does not matter, for the artist is not attempting to set down any realistic account of the world but an orchestration of brilliant colors, usually played in the upper reaches of the scale with big crashing chords or black to sustain the theme." -Margaret Bruening
