"I
am an abstract
journalist of the
landscape and a
choreographer of the
dance of the mind, eye
and hand. The
plastic, the decorative,
the horrible and the
serene that pepper the
visual landscape of the
present time challenges
the artists who address
the age of information.
I consider myself a
global artist, not an
American artist.
This galactical view is
the true basis of my
work--Nature is my
teacher--the Master.
I'm the apprentice --Dick Crispo
Thomas Albright, the San
Francisco Chronicle art
critic wrote in 1979 of
Dick's work: "His
skills in color are
reminiscent of Van Gogh
and Gauguin."
Dick Crispo is listed in "Who's Who in the West" 1976-1984. "Who's Who in American Art" 1974, 1976, 1980, 1984. "Community Leaders and Noteworthy Americans." He has also appeared in over 140 magazines, periodicals and newspapers. His work is documented on film in "Dick Crispo Maker of Images", Frasconi-Seizer Films.
