Martin Kotler (American, born 1953) has been attracted to Washington DC’s industrial and architectural heritage since his arrival in 1980. Washington’s cityscape echoed many of the formal elements in the great precisionist paintings of Charles Sheeler and Ralston Crawford. Inspired by such artists and by his surroundings, Kotler’s paintings capture the light and forms of Washington’s dynamic urban environment. As counterpoint to his depictions of street scenes and industrial activity, Kotler paints lush botanical studies directly from life and captures scenes unfolding along the landscape of the Potomac River. Martin Kotler received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from The Maryland Institute College of Art and his Masters of Fine Arts from American University. His works are featured in numerous private and public collections, including the Baltimore Museum of Art, MD, and the Fogg Museum at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA.
The next post on my feed is one of my “pattern plays” in Photoshop. I decided to feed it into the Midjourney AI tool and see what it thought of it, at the end of this description you’ll find two of it’s descriptions of my piece.
Then I decided to feed the descriptions back into Midjourney and see what it made from them. This collage shows some of the variations it made. Interesting that when you turn up the Stylise parameter Midjourney started making human forms from the pink and red swirls (see the five images in the centre and corners of the collage).
There’s a lot of emotion surrounding AI at the moment, my opinion is that I’m just going to have some fun with it, I think if you do hobbies like photography and digital art for yourself, and your own enjoyment and fulfilment, then AI is no threat, My only wish is that people be honest when they post something AI created (as many are not doing). Anyway, in that spirit, this piece is a collage of nine Midjourney images, I have applied a few finishing adjustments, a colour grade and created the collage in Photoshop.
Midjourney Descriptions of my image
“An abstract red background that is curved, in the style of emotive figural distortions, digital airbrushing, light pink and dark crimson, realistic forms, monochromatic shadows, flowing draperies, precisionist art.”
“A red background is filled with swirly shapes, in the style of hyperrealistic compositions, dark pink, matte drawing, digital airbrushing, nebulous forms, matte photo, curvilinear forms.”
One of THE best Artists I’ve known, my
Momma Judith, loved Painting imagery quite reminiscent
of this Precisionist Architectural Landscape
I captured yesterday in a Southern region of
Vila Nova de Gaia (where we now live) in Portugal.
This is a stack of not only one photo per second, but also two separate macro focus stacks. Since I had to keep touching the watch to start, stop, and set it, I shot a little bigger and cropped to this size. Some of the seconds don't line up because the camera didn't take a photo at that time. The second hand moves 16 times per second, so I would have to shoot at 32 or more frames per second to be sure of getting every perfectly aligned second. The R7 can't shoot for 15 seconds (or even 5) at that rate, so I made my peace with missing exact seconds. Originally I tried to do this with flash, but alas, the flash triggers can't keep up.
I was reminded of the early 20th century American precisionist painters and photographers who loved technology and architecture like Charles Sheeler. I was seeing their works in museums and then in the street.

This is a shot of a parking lot sign located at the Domino's Farms office complex in Ann Arbor, MI. I'm a big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright and I've always liked Domino's Farms because it was designed in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright. I was driving around the complex and noticed these parking lot signs and really liked the shape and colors and the way the sign contrasted with the blue sky.
A picture of what the sign looks like can be found here In fact, this is a picture of the very same sign.
"Normandie" shaped pitcher designed in 1935 by Peter Müller-Munk and manufactured of chrome-plated brass by the Revere Copper and Brass Co. On loan from the Dallas Museum of Art to the spectacular "Cult of the Machine" exhibit at the deYoung Museum in the spring/summer of 2018, lead curator Emma Acker.
"Peter Müller-Munk's 'Normandie' pitcher features a teardrop shape that refers to the aerodynamic curves and distinctive slanting prow of the French luxury ocean liner Normandie. The streamlined, functionalist aesthetic of ocean liners was extolled by the French architect Le Corbusier in his seminal 'Towards a New Architecture' (1923) --whose widely influential English ediion reached New York in 1927--and was admired by designers of the Machine Age such as Walter Dorwin Teague and Norman Bel Geddes, as well as by Precisionist artists such as Charles Sheeler."

The renowned Canadian artist Alex Colville died yesterday at the age of 92. Colville was a remarkable painter whose work combined an almost dispassionate manner of representation with a haunting, sometimes troubling emotional undercurrent. I am particularly fond of his later work in which there was an increasing sense of ease, grace and camaraderie inspired by his life long love Rhoda (who passed away last year).
This image is a reworking of a photograph I took when Sherrie and I visited the Colvilles in their home in Wolfville, Nova Scotia in 2000. I am very grateful for their lives and work.
Following is an insightful quote posted on the front page of Alex Colville's website: alexcolville.ca/
The pictures of Canadian artist Alex Colville bear more affinity to the American Precisionists of the 1930s than to photo-realism. His perfect compositions are based on an abundance of sketches and studies, which are first brought into an abstract, geometric scheme before drawings are made from the live model and proportioned according to the planned format. Only then does the slow and patient process of painting begin. Layer upon layer of thinned paint is applied to a primed wooden panel, and the opaque surface finally sealed with transparent lacquer. The process can often take months.
Colville has devoted intensive study to European painting. According to him, it took him many years to digest the impressions gained during two days spent in the Louvre. Yet he has also been deeply impressed by the American Luminists, and not least by Hopper. Colville’s paintings are proof of the fact that a realism of content need have nothing in common with naturalism, that the serious realist does not unthinkingly reflect reality, but analyses it. It is this analytical cast of mind, Colville is convinced, that permits him to discover “myths of mundanity” — on the banks of the River Spree, by the seaside, in the circus, at sports events, on a boat or a highway, in a meadow or a swimming pool, in a telephone booth or a bedroom. Colville insists that the mythical aspect of everyday life is not reserved for authors of the secular rank of a James Joyce, but that the contemporary painter can have access to is as well.
Colville’s silent images are static. Yet practically all of them tell a story, in a brief, concise plot that does not always have a resolution. Fundamental human situations are their both simple and complex themes: loneliness, isolation, parting, work, leisure, estrangement, love. The only subliminally dramatic, often melancholy laconism of content corresponds to the absolute precision of form by which it is conveyed. Like hardly another artist, Colville maintains the difficult balance between imagination and sober calculation, formal interest and social commitment. Behind the realistic surface of his imagery lurks the surreal – but a surreal that lacks every trace of theatrical staging or borrowing from psychoanalysis, whose new myths Colville deeply mistrusts.

Charles Demuth (1883-1935) was one of the leading artists during the American Modernism era. He was distinguished for intimate watercolors and cubic architectural paintings. Demuth studied art at Académie Julian in Paris, where he was welcomed into the avant-garde art scene and met other American Cubism artists like Marsden Hartley. His watercolor figures have a weightless and surrealistic character with a sensitive linear style, in which he illustrated plays and novels such as Émile Zola's Nana. He also depicted an evolving gay scene of encounters at bath houses through watercolors for his close friends, like the "Turkish Bath", works that now are of great historical significance. Demuth later employed a cubist technique by painting industrial factories with complex structural planes, leading him to becoming a pioneer for the precisionist movement. We have digitally enhanced some of his Bermuda landscapes, flowers, circus performers, and his most famous artwork “The Figure 5 in Gold”.

George Copeland Ault (1891 –1948) was an American painter loosely grouped with the Precisionist movement and, though influenced by Cubism and Surrealism, his most lasting work is of a realist nature.

Charles Goeller would often have passed the dramatic Manhattan vista looking north from East 19th Street along 3rd Avenue to the soaring Chrysler Building. The artist lived just a few doors east of this corner, yet his rendition of the familiar scene is strangely dreamlike. Like his fellow painters in the precisionist movement, Goeller stressed the clean geometry of the modern city. All elements of his painting direct attention to the rising spire of the Chrysler Building, a vision of an ideal future shaped by American engineering. Such foreground details as trash lying by the curb and scarred red paint where a sign has been removed from a wall seem deliberately introduced to contrast with the flawless edifice in the distance. Trained in engineering and architecture, Goeller crisply rendered the elevated rail tracks and building facades in precisely receding perspective. He neatly situated pedestrians, like the structures around them, to lead the viewer’s eye back to where the white and silver tower rises against the blue sky. Goeller perfected the shapes in his painting, even removing the gargoyles from the Chrysler Building itself to avoid breaking its sleek outline.

George Copeland Ault moved to New York City from England in 1911 and soon after began painting urban cityscapes in a precisionist style. While his reductive aesthetic and highly controlled manner of execution is often associated with artists like Charles Sheeler and Ralston Crawford, Ault did not observe beauty in the effects of industrialization and the growth of the American city, once referring to New York City as “the Inferno without the fire.” In 1937 Ault moved with his wife, Louise, to Woodstock, New York where they avoided the artist’s community and instead lived modestly in solitude. The stark and figureless rural scenes he produced during this period attest not only to this reclusiveness but also to the preservationist conviction present in much of Ault’s body of work.
Ault executed five versions of the well-known Woodstock location known as Russell’s Corners between 1943 and 1948, using the location to explore relationships between geometric forms and linear patterns as both time and the seasons changed. Only a quarter mile from his studio, Russell’s Corners held a special intimacy for Ault and played a significant role in his artistic career. The present work is the only version depicting the agrarian scene in the daylight. Unlike the other nocturnal versions, Daylight at Russell’s Corners allowed Ault to depict the locale in heightened detail. The rich red hues of the barn contrast sharply against the stark tones of gray, as do the telephone poles and bare tree jutting out from the snow. The figureless scene powerfully evokes a sense of desolation and mystery that speaks to Ault’s interest in the work of Giorgio de Chirico and the Surrealists, with whom he began to engage during the mature period of his career.

His watercolor figures have a weightless and surrealistic character with a sensitive linear style, in which he illustrated plays and novels such as Émile Zola's Nana. He also depicted an evolving gay scene of encounters at bath houses through watercolors for his close friends, like the "Turkish Bath", works that now are of great historical significance. Demuth later employed a cubist technique by painting industrial factories with complex structural planes, leading him to becoming a pioneer for the precisionist movement. We have digitally enhanced some of his Bermuda landscapes, flowers, circus performers, and his most famous artwork “The Figure 5 in Gold”.
