Lot 1

Signed in pencil lower right by the artist. Gold leaf framed with grey silk mat w/ gold fillet. Introduced to art at Kent School in Connecticut, in 1955 he was the first student to graduate with an art degree from Marlboro College. He received a Master's Degree in Fine Arts from Goddard College in 1973. He was a painter of abstract works and landscapes, drawing artistic technique from his teachers Winn Tuttle of Marlboro and Fernando Gerassi of Putney. Of his work, Linn wrote in 2002: "I consider my paintings poetic, musical metaphors in paint. Nature is the source. There is also a surreal quality that slowly manifests itself by chance. This usually appears spontaneous in the beginning. I'm trying to rework much less, if at all, to preserve the freshness of the beginning." Throughout his life, he painted at his home studio in Putney, with interludes in Spain, Mexico and New Mexico. His work has been exhibited throughout the Northeast, Chicago, New Mexico, and Mexico City. Between 1958 and 1986 Linn taught art at the Putney School and also led afternoon activities in recreational skiing and firewood cutting. He briefly taught art part-time at Marlboro College in 1961.
