Howard Behrens Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1933 - d. 2014

Artist Howard Behrens had a passion for traveling to tropical locations and painting them using large amounts of paint and a palette knife instead of a brush. His paintings were created in the Expressionist style, and the play of light on his landscapes draw the viewer's focus. Behrens studied art at the University of Maryland, and after obtaining his Masters in painting and illustration, he obtained a position as a government graphic designer. During his vacations he traveled to Italy and across the U.S., painting buildings and landscapes.

From the 1980s onward, artist Howard Behrens' serigraphs included a number of limited edition pieces that were hand embellished; this was a world first.

His work is found in museums and private collections worldwide. Behrens was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1933. He grew up near Washington, D.C. He began drawing at age seventeen after being confined to bed following a sledding accident. His formal education in art was at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he earned a master's degree in painting and sculpture. Behrens was hired by the United States Government Printing Office, where his father was employed as a printer, and worked there for the next seventeen years. t. His passion for travel, for trying new techniques, and his endless hours of painting after work helped him to create his own style of painting with a palette knife. Behrens was captivated by the bright swirls of color that he could create by applying thick globs of oil paint onto a canvas using a palette knife. Behrens' style developed over time, and he spoke of painting becoming its own subject matter: "I slowly started using the palette knife to paint on canvas," said Behrens. "It started out very fine and thin using very little paint. Then, it got thicker and thicker and heavier and heavier. Finally, the most amazing thing happened - the act of painting became the subject matter." Behrens also developed a method for creation that combined travel, sketching, fine art photography and painting. Creation of paintings that integrate what he calls "big, juicy chunks of paint."

His work is found in museums and private collections worldwide. Behrens was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1933. He grew up near Washington, D.C. He began drawing at age seventeen after being confined to bed following a sledding accident. His formal education in art was at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he earned a master's degree in painting and sculpture. Behrens was hired by the United States Government Printing Office, where his father was employed as a printer, and worked there for the next seventeen years. t. His passion for travel, for trying new techniques, and his endless hours of painting after work helped him to create his own style of painting with a palette knife. Behrens was captivated by the bright swirls of color that he could create by applying thick globs of oil paint onto a canvas using a palette knife. Behrens' style developed over time, and he spoke of painting becoming its own subject matter: "I slowly started using the palette knife to paint on canvas," said Behrens. "It started out very fine and thin using very little paint. Then, it got thicker and thicker and heavier and heavier. Finally, the most amazing thing happened - the act of painting became the subject matter." Behrens also developed a method for creation that combined travel, sketching, fine art photography and painting. Creation of paintings that integrate what he calls "big, juicy chunks of paint."
