The world of Donald Stoltenberg (1927-2016) is not the natural one, but the manmade structures that occupy so much of the space on our planet. His art celebrates those engineering feats of ships, bridges, railroads, and the architectural beauties of houses and buildings, quite a few on Cape Cod, where he lived for more than fifty years.
To approach the art by Donald Stoltenberg for the first time is breathtaking. His view of the engineered marvels that occupied so much of his work resonates in a way that will likely give many viewers a new approach to seeing manmade creations. Many of us may pass by a bridge, an elevated train, or a railroad station and just take note of its practical use. But Donald Stoltenberg saw the beauty, the majesty, and the artistry of these structures, which he focused on in his paintings. Looking at his work, it is likely you will have a sense of the deep feelings he imbued in them.
In this lecture, guest curator Deborah Forman will provide an historical perspective, along with an analysis of Donald Stoltenberg's art as she celebrates his ingenuity and the originality of his approach.
Donald Stoltenberg: Building His World, sponsored by West Branch Capital, on exhibit from July 6 through October 2, 2022. Funding for the catalogue and a significant donation of artworks for this exhibition were provided by Dr. Roger T. Dunn and Howard John Stapf.
