G.Harvey
and his images have influenced a worldwide enthusiasm and demand for
contemporary American art for a generation. Few artists have intrigued
and captivated art collectors as widely as the celebrated painter, G.
Harvey. During his storied career, G. Harvey has painted
turn-of-the-century America as no other artist. His scenes are warm,
thoughtful portraits of our country???s bustling cities in a more genteel
era and outstanding Western sagas of working cowhands at home in rugged
landscapes.
Gerald
Harvey Jones, known to his patrons and peers as G. Harvey, grew up in
the rugged hills in Central Texas where herds of longhorn cattle were
driven along the dusty trails. This background has been the inspiration
for the artist???s commitment to portraying the spirit of America. Through
his art, our country???s history lives. Harvey restores all those
memories, sights, sounds, and emotions. With his ability to capture the
drama, light, and feeling of a moment, the artist brings the heart of
his painting to the viewer.
G.
Harvey is not only an extraordinary painter, but an accomplished
sculptor. His original works and bronze sculptures are in the
collections of major corporations, prestigious museums, American
presidents, governors, foreign leaders, and captains of industry. The
artist has been the recipient of innumerable awards and the subject of
four books. Harvey has been honored with one-man shows at the
Smithsonian Institution and the National Archives in Washington, D. C.
The
artist???s original paintings are represented in major galleries. His
annual, one-man shows are consistent sell-outs where Harvey collectors
come from all around the country to view and compete to own an
outstanding work by the artist.
G.
Harvey lives in the beautiful Texas Hill Country with his wife, Pat,
where they enjoy living near their children and grandchildren. A studio
adjacent to his home is a sanctuary for creating the paintings that his
legions of devoted collectors eagerly anticipate with each new work.
G.
Harvey???s work reminds us that the world has changed very much and very
little; country lanes and city streets are still romantic. It is, after
all, from living in the present that the artist draws inspiration for
the past.
