John D. Neubauer Biography
Originally from New York
City, John Daniel Neubauer is a long-time resident of the Hudson Valley,
and the natural beauty of the area is captured in many of his oil
paintings, drawings and etchings.
Neubauer began his study
painting landscapes under the tutelage of Donald Jurney. He subsequently
studied at the Art Students League in New York, receiving training in
life drawing from the late Robert Beverly Hale and instruction in still
life from David Leffel. After some classical training, he began an
exhaustive study of landscape painting working directly from nature
throughout the northeastern United States and in Italy.
The realistic tradition of
the Hudson River School and French Barbizon School is apparent in
Neubauer’s work. Although a number of his landscapes are highly
representational, the majority are impressions and transformations of
nature inspired by memory and imagination. Much of his work captures the
feeling of the rural Northeast, taking on a filmy and dreamlike quality.
