​Don Munson  Paintings and Drawings​

​

​

 ​​“Donald Munson is a poet singing the joy of nature, ​using color and line to produce

a poem in visual terms.  He has a personal style of great distinction .… to evolve from

sensitive line. … into work one finds a combination of love and understanding of both

nature and form.”  

     Eva Gatling,The Heckscher Museum. ​

 

 “…open the gates of imagination … (D.M.) has a sophisticated Élan …​"

      Vito Cioffero 

​

"(Don) … balances geometric and biomorphic elements to create exquisite formal tensions

in his paintings of flowing forms …” 

     Art Speak, Soho, N. Y. , Caude LeSuer​ ​

​

"His work assimilates, then trandsends, to illuminate abstracted essential truths with

a masterful visual language built on line and color. "

     Douglas P. Clement, Take Magazine

​

"(Don)" - Munson ... airy ... rich-toned structural elements, ...evoking

Richard Diebenkorn's Ocean Park series ..."

Susan Boulanger, Art New England
