In terms of contemporary practice and art history, Frank Lind’s allegiance is to the long rainbow line of brilliant painters of nature. Corot, Homer, Sorolla and Sargent are particular inspirations. One less well known but who speaks from the past is James Perry Wilson, the painter of the best background images in the dioramas in the Museum of Natural History in New York City and the Peabody Museum at Yale. Wilson used a palette of only twelve tube colors, and yet could mix an astonishing range of hues. In Lind’s current practice, the distilled use of these twelve colors creates an intimate dynamic between paint and imagery that is transporting – looking at these paintings you smell the ocean breezes and revel in the play of light on water.
