Len Chmiel:
An Authentic
Nature
is written by Amy
Scott, MA, with an
introduction by Jean
Stern. Featuring
lush reproductions
of the landscapes of
American artist Len
Chmiel, this book
depicts four decades
of the artist's
melodic, evocative,
and often abstracted
depictions of the
land. Amy Scott
contributes a fine
essay discussing
Chmiel's formative
years as an
illustrator in LA
through his
subsequent move to
Colorado where he
turned from
illustration and
dove into fine art
exclusively.
Amy Scott, Autry
Museum Curator of
Visual Arts has
organized exhibits
and contributed to
such publications as
Yosemite: Art of
an American Icon.
Prior to joining the
Autry, she was a
curator at the
Gerald Peters
Gallery in Santa Fe,
where she served as
the liaison for a
catalogue raisonné
on the work of
Ernest Blumenschein
and a comprehensive
study on the Taos
Society of Artists.
Publications
authored include
Nicolai Fechin:
Across Two
Continents,
The Taos Society of
Artists: Masters and
Masterworks,
and The New
Mexico Painters(co-author).
She received her
B.A. in Art History
from the University
of Kansas, and M.A
in Art History from
the University of
Missouri in Kansas
City, where she
worked as a
curatorial assistant
at the Nelson-Atkins
Museum of Art. She
is currently working
on her doctorate at
the University of
California-Irvine.
*In
order to raise funds
to achieve this
important
publication, we are
offering a limited
edition of 60
slip-cased hardcover
books. There are
only 25 left, and
when the next 15
sell, the price will
go up. The Special
Edition includes a
custom framed 8 x 10
inch original oil
painting by Len. In
an effort to give
subscribers a
choice, paintings of
various subjects
will be posted
four-at-a-time on
Len’s website,
http://lenchmiel.com/
and will be offered
to buyers in the
chronological order
payment is received.
You will be notified
by e-mail when those
paintings are
available for
viewing. No trading
for a different
piece at a later
date…that would make
Len crazy.
