Fairfield Porter Prints and Multiples
American, 1907-1975
Fairfield Porter was an American painter and critic whose work brought a modern, painterly freshness to representational art at a time when abstraction dominated the mid-20th-century art world. Born on June 10, 1907, in Winnetka, Illinois, Porter studied at Harvard University before training at the Art Students League in New York, where he developed a lifelong interest in both painting and writing.
Working primarily in New York City and on Great Spruce Head Island, Maine, Porter created intimate portraits, domestic interiors, and coastal landscapes that reflected the people and places closest to him. His style combined the immediacy of Impressionism with the structure and clarity of modernism, characterized by lush color harmonies, confident brushwork, and a quiet observational sensitivity.
Alongside his painting, Porter was an influential art critic, contributing thoughtful essays to Art News, The Nation, and other publications. He championed representational painters during a period when Abstract Expressionism held sway, helping to broaden critical appreciation for figurative art. Porter continued to paint and write until his death on September 18, 1975, leaving behind a body of work celebrated for its warmth, clarity, and deeply personal vision.to

About the artist.
Coming from a very western tradition in Wyoming, John Maxon developed an expansive view of nature . Moving eventually to the San Francisco Bay area, John's delight in the effects of light and color led him to the decision to become an artist at the young age of 15. His natural ability was encouraged, and at 16 he began figurative art classes with Howard Brodie, the artist well known for his WWII correspondence, drawings and the Watergate trial drawings.
