Charles Field (San Antonio)
Sunrise, South Jetty, Port Aransas, 2002
Oil on canvas
54 x 48 in. each
Charles Field was first struck by “the
enormity and rapid transformation of the Texas sky”
during Air Force summer training in Laredo in 1957.
These powerful images have proven to be a great inspiration
for Field ever since, as evidenced by his magnificent
paintings displayed in the AT&T Center. When speaking
of these works Field remarks, “My six oil paintings
for the AT&T Center are essentially ‘skyscapes’.
Each has a low horizon, which gives the viewer a sense
of place and scale. The expansive space above is devoted
entirely to the sky. I want the paintings at the AT&T
Center to add to the audience’s enthusiasm.
I’d encourage the viewer to look up and rediscover
the extraordinary dynamics and beauty of Texas skies.”
Field recently retired after 28 years
as a Professor of Art at the University of Texas at
San Antonio. He received his BFA from Stanford University
and an MFA from the University of Washington.
