"Colour is like music. One colour is meaningless by itself, it
takes its meaning from its relationship to other colours, from the
rhythm of its structure." Peter Kitchell.
Peter Kitchell was born to architect
parents in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After a spell in Exeter, New
Hampshire, the family moved to San Francisco and Kitchell at the age of
five started attending art classes at the Museum of Modern Art and the
De Young Museum. During the 1960s he studied under Rolf Penn who had
studied at the Bauhaus school under Kandinsky and Klee. Kitchell
embarked on a world tour in the early Seventies, painting or drawing his
way through Europe, Africa, the Carribean and the United States.
The different shades and tones of light
he experienced on his travels provided great inspiration for the artist.
His broad watercolours such as 'Antelope Dust' and 'Memory of Life'
depict the natural world in an abstract style. |
