Over the years, we have shown a range of work from esteemed artist-educator ROBERT REINHARDT, beginning with his paintings: stunning landscapes of, and inspired by, the American West. (The artist has also produced a series of Scotland vistas, which have not yet appeared at Off the Wall.) More recently -- and again for this year's UNDER $100 -- Bob's focus has shifted to patterned monoprints, which he overlays, one on another, to elicit dynamic interplay and marvelously intricate details. While there often is a starting point for these newer pieces -- in this case, the phases of the moon -- the results are not so constrained, as viewers are transported through unexpected convergences of form and color.
