George Nemethy Art
American, b. 1952
Born in 1952 in Newburgh, New York, George Nemethy finds his inspiration in moments of quiet and solitude. Where he finds himself, with his imagination, sailing away to this beautiful and colorful marine worlds. That could only be visited when the soul meets with the infinite feeling of the horizon line of the open seas. With an outstanding legacy of his father Albert Nemethy of marine art, George keeps this tradition in his own artistic way. Recreating this wonderful marine depictions in a much more abstract and whimsical way. His dedication to master a magical realism instantly takes the viewer, in each of his unique paintings, and transports to a point in time where all the senses meet and only one thought would exist. George’s peaceful "dream like qualities" miniature works allow us to take a deep breath and reach out to the beautiful vastness of the world in an unprecedented a magical relationship between man and nature.
The Nemethy family immigrated from Hungary and consisted of six artists, all pupils of their late father Albert Sz. Nemethy. The children Julien, Albert Jr., George, Veronica, and the twins Kristina and Georgina. All of them were taught and inspired by their respected father, an American traditional and well groomed marine painter of high regard. George, as a pupil of his late father, became an artist through his inspiration and teachings. George is known for his pastoral miniature sail boat oil paintings. As a 20th century artist he was greatly inspired when he was young by Persian miniatures. Out of this fondness and extensive studying of these models, a devotion to intimacy and solitude was born. Devoting extreme patience to detail, achieving mastery to each and every work with his use of color and size.
Creating pastel hues across the waters with shimmering highlights, and puffed clouds pulling down to the sea, there is a magic being created. In his pieces we can find all the qualities that so many are in love with, and the reason why his paintings are sought after by elite collectors, sailors, and curators. His dreamy puffed clouds that are so effortlessly contrasted with the majestic blues in his sky and water, piece together this absolutely breath taking works. What creates an even more shocking and delightful surprise is, in almost every sailboat painting, if you look closely enough you will find tiny people depicted in the sail boat. In this piece you will find two people sitting about. His extreme attention to detail, and his fixation on miniatures when he was a child is what establishes such a wonderful enchantment to every single one of his masterful sailboat paintings. When critics refer to his work, they write on his sincere ability to achieve pure tranquillity in his paintings.to
