G.Harvey and
his images have influenced a
worldwide enthusiasm and demand for
contemporary American art for a
generation. Few artists have
intrigued and captivated art
collectors as widely as the
celebrated painter, G. Harvey.
During his storied career, G. Harvey
has painted turn-of-the-century
America as no other artist. His
scenes are warm, thoughtful
portraits of our country’s bustling
cities in a more genteel era and
outstanding Western sagas of working
cowhands at home in rugged
landscapes.
Gerald Harvey
Jones, known to his patrons and peers as
G. Harvey, grew up in the rugged hills
in Central Texas where herds of longhorn
cattle were driven along the dusty
trails. This background has been the
inspiration for the artist’s commitment
to portraying the spirit of America.
Through his art, our country’s history
lives. Harvey restores all those
memories, sights, sounds, and emotions.
With his ability to capture the drama,
light, and feeling of a moment, the
artist brings the heart of his painting
to the viewer.
G. Harvey is
not only an extraordinary painter, but
an accomplished sculptor. His original
works and bronze sculptures are in the
collections of major corporations,
prestigious museums, American
presidents, governors, foreign leaders,
and captains of industry. The artist has
been the recipient of innumerable awards
and the subject of four books. Harvey
has been honored with one-man shows at
the Smithsonian Institution and the
National Archives in Washington, D.C.
The artist’s
original paintings are represented in
major galleries. His annual, one-man
shows are consistent sell-outs where
Harvey collectors come from all around
the country to view and compete to own
an outstanding work by the artist.
G. Harvey
lives in the beautiful Texas Hill
Country with his wife, Pat, where
they enjoy living near their
children and grandchildren. A studio
adjacent to his home is a sanctuary
for creating the paintings that his
legions of devoted collectors
eagerly anticipate with each new
work.
G. Harvey’s
work reminds us that the world has
changed very much and very little;
country lanes and city streets are still
romantic. It is, after all, from living
in the present that the artist draws
inspiration for the past.
