Dmitri Wright’s artistic lineage stems from American Impressionists. His mentors have been Samuel Brecher, who studied under Charles W. Hawthorne the founder of the Cape Cod Art School. Donald Brown, an expressionist, influenced Wright to accept the Max Beckman International Scholarship at the Brooklyn Museum Art School, where he then studied under Rueben Tam; at Cooper Union he studied under Wolf Kahn and Will Barnet. As an American artist, Wright’s travels have taken him to paint and/or teach throughout the United States and visiting over a dozen National Park sites, in addition to Italy, France, Ireland, Austria, England, West Indies, Central and South America, and China. His work focuses on the preservation and progress of Impressionism. Wright’s work is housed in hundreds of collections. Museums: National Art Museum of Sport, Newark Museum, Brooklyn Museum.
