Richard Bowman- Painter, 1918-2001
Richard Bowman grew up in Northern Illinois
and moved to Chicago in 1938 to attend the Art Institute. After
graduating in 1942 with a BFA, Bowman received the Edward L. Ryerson
Traveling fellowship and traveled to Mexico where he met the Brittish
Surrealist painter, Gordon Onslow Ford in the village of Erongaricuaro,
Michoacan.
Richard writes that Gordon "was the
first Modern and involved painter I had ever met. With his uncanny
genius, he is capable of revealing new perceptions to many individuals".
The next day, Richard returned to paint the lake, the mountains and the
setting sun. It was the beginning of a series that he called the "Rock
and Sun".
Richard went on to receive in 1949 his
Masters in Fine Arts at the University of Iowa where he studied with
Mauricio Lasansky. Richard taught at the Art Institute of Chicago in the
1940's, then went with a fellow graduate of the University of Iowa to
start an art program at the University of Manitoba in Canada. In the
late 1950's, he and his wife Peggy moved to the Bay Area in Northern
California where he continued to teach and paint.
