"Summer and the Sea: Airid" by American Modern Impressionist Abstract landscape artist Jon Schueler. This Jon Schueler painting measures 75 inches wide by 78 and one half inches high. Born 1916, died 1992..Just in from the Dun and Bradstreet Art Collection This painting was commissioned by Dun and Bradstreet for it's corporate office and was painted in Chester CT in 1968. See Who Was Who in American Art page 2941 where there is huge biography on the artist.There has just been a book published about Jon Schueler and his work entitled "The Sound of Sleat" edited by Magda Salvesen and Diane Cusineau published by Picador New York. It mentions Schueler in Mallaig Vaig,Chester CT and his connection with Elise (whos home he stayed at while he painted this painting). Jon Schueler was taught by Clyfford Still and Willem de Kooning. See Who Was Who in American Art page 2941 where there is huge biography on the artist. Jon Schueler was one of the best artists of his day. He exhibited at the major galleries, hung out with the important collectors,dealers in New York City and was a very important part of the Abstract expressionist movement that took place in New York in the 1950 to 1960 period and had many exhibitions at the countries premier galleries of the day. This painting is amazing because depending on the type and amount of light in the room and time of day the moon subtlely comes and goes.

Thank you for your quick reply. I am really shocked at the price. I knew many people here wanted it, but probably figured I didn't know what I had and they wanted to buy it for nothing. I am glad I held on to it.
Thanks again!
