ABOUT
THE ARTIST –
Born
(1932) in New Jersey, Sapiro lives with his wife in Connecticut.
He
paints landscapes, still lives, and dreamscapes.
“Fascinated by ‘the moment when
natures fuses light and air, and creates a work of art’, Sapiro captures the
ethereal, spiritual, magical tones, light and mood of nature. In delicately and
subtly applied glazes, his images explore the moods of morning and evening on
marshes and rivers of the area. Still lifes evoke a sense of both mystery
and beauty in their hints at abstraction, and occasionally Sapiro takes on the
human figure with an eye for the exotic and arresting character. He has
published articles and books on clay form modeling methods, built his own
harpsichord, taught himself a high level of color photography and did his own
color processing. He has dabbled in inventing and in optics as well, all
the while, however, continuing to experiment with painting in watercolor and in
oil.”(antiquesandthearts.com)
He is the author of “(t)he definitive examination of
the fundamental process of handbuilding clay” (“Clay:
Handbuilding”; Davis Publications). His books have sold over 48,000
copies and have been considered authoritative classics in the classroom and the
studio for over 30 years.

“ Painting, like life, is a journey. And, as with any journey, it’s the
people you meet along the way who leave the most lasting impressions. …”
