Frank Bruckman At Next SCAN Meeting

The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will welcome Frank Bruckman as the guest artist during its next meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, April 23, at 1:30 pm. The demonstration will be in the lower meeting room of Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street in Newtown (at the flagpole). The public is invited to attend, free of charge.

Mr Bruckman, who lives and paints in Westville Village in New Haven, will be painting a landscape in oil.

After graduating from art school in the United States, Mr Bruckman spent several years in Paris and Madrid copying the masters in the great museums in Europe. While abroad he immersed himself in the local cultures, by learning their language and painting landscapes of the countryside and cityscapes.

Working as a model in Paris and painting throughout the city of lights, he developed further as an artist, resulting in several group shows and some one-person exhibitions in Paris and Spain.

What was to be a brief visit to Connecticut in 1990 became a permanent relocation for Mr Bruckman once he discovered that there was endless painting material on the Connecticut shoreline. Whether setting up his easel on the beach, painting portraits, taking off to Mexico or Europe for a landscape painting trip, or composing a still life in his studio, one finds in Mr Bruckman an who is dedicated principally to the art of painting and living.
