Art by color :

Seymour Fogel was an American artist whose artistic output included social realist art early in the century, abstract art and expressionist art at mid-century, and transcendental art late in the century. Born on August 24, 1911, in New York City, Fogel's drive to experiment led him to work with expected media – oil paints, watercolors, and acrylics – as well as unconventional media such as glass, plastics, sand, and wax.

Education and Early Career

Fogel studied at the Art Students League in 1929 and at the National Academy of Design from 1929 to 1932 under such established artists as Leon Kroll and George Brandt Bridgman. However, he was dissatisfied with the schooling he received at the National Academy, noting that "when I left my school, I could copy most anything, draw the human figure and paint it, and nothing else." Fogel's apprenticeship with the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera in 1932 marked a significant turning point in his career.

Notable Works and Commissions

Some of Fogel's notable works include his social realist drawings of ordinary Americans affected by the Great Depression, which can be found on WahooArt.com. His abstract murals in Texas, such as those at the American National Bank (1954) and the Baptist Student Center at the University of Texas (1949), were recognized by Time magazine as significant achievements in corporate art. Fogel's use of ethyl silicate in his mural commissions was also pioneering.

Awards and Recognition

Fogel's contributions to American art have been recognized through various awards and exhibitions. His work can be found on WahooArt.com, alongside other notable artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Vincent Van Gogh, and Salvador Dali. The Seymour and Barbara Fogel House, which he converted into a ranch-style house with Usonian influences in 1953, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 2003. Key aspects of Fogel's artistic style include his experimentation with unconventional media and his ability to blend different styles and techniques. His transcendentalist art, which he referred to as "atavistic," can be seen in his later works, such as those produced during his time in New York City.
