His clear, cool color values, used in a distinctive way with linear perspective, seem to create a moody poetic image. John J. Stancin studied at the Chicago Art Institute, with Al Landers in New York, and with Al Lecoque, pupil of August Renoir. On the West Coast, Stancin became the director of the American Academy of Fine Arts, and also produced a television series called Art for the Fun of It . Hollywood's movie colony has taken particular interest in Stancin's works, and during the Johnson Administration, his paintings could be found in both Lyndon Johnson's and Hubert Humphrey's private offices. Stancin lived with his wife Valerie, also an artist, in Maui, Hawaii for many years, where they operated Stancin Art Gallery in Lahaina.Similar artists:Robert Watson Abruzzi Harold read more
