James Howard Kunstler

These paintings of the landscape around Washington County, New York, were made in 2023. I am searching for the right balance between the way nature presents itself and the denatured industrial detritus we humans introduce to the scenes. Sometimes the right chord is struck and something beautiful emerges, even from the strangest arrangements of things.

James Howard Kunstler went to New York's High School of Music and Art (1966). He is best known as the author of 23 books including The Geography of Nowhere, the Long Emergency, and the World Made by Hand novel series set in Washington County, New York.
