At a perhaps surprising age of 90 (born, 1935, Madison, WI), Wisconsin fine art painter, Richard W. Patt, continues to draw an unusually large number of followers as he comes forth annually with over one-hundred original acrylic paintings that portray the texture and color of the rural midwestern landscape. The variety of his subject matter and styles of painting stirs wide interest, but there is a definite nod toward that Wisconsin icon, the red barn! Richard has been painting professionally for almost fifty years. His work has been exhibited nationally at notable American art museums in cities including Scottsdale, Tucson, and in Wisconsin at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, Milwaukee Art Museum, Haggerty Museum of Art at Marquette University, and Charles Allis Art Museum. For the past 15 years he served as principal guest artist at the retired Oil - A City Gallery in the Third Ward of Milwaukee.
