Ron Linder had just hit his artistic prime when, at
48 years of age, death overcame him. Having been recognized by a rapidly
growing list of Purchase Awards, Best in Show Awards, and First Prizes
at institutions and other artistic venues in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, his works were finding their way into collections, especially
corporate, throughout the Philadelphia area and beyond. In the case
of Wurlitzer Deluxe, it was purchased directly from Linder
out of Woodmere Art Museum’s 1989 Annual Juried Exhibition. The artist
has created an image that is at once appealing and nostalgic. Above
all, however, the subject matter provides a perfect opportunity to
showcase his unique technique of covering collage and with streams
of pure acrylic, bringing forth a brilliant explosion of color. |
