Art Brokerage: Clyde Aspevig American Artist: b. 1951. Born in 1951 on a working wheat farm in Rudyard, Montana, Aspevig was trained as an art educator and received little formal training as a painter. Clyde Aspevig is a painter known for his loose, realistic depictions of the vast, open landscapes of Wyoming and Montana. Inspired by the works of Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, and Anders Zorn, Aspevig simplifies forms and focuses on light rather than scientific detail. "Paintings are a spiritual communion with nature which results in my celebration of life," the artist has said. "Toward this end, I yearn for country that has not been tainted by subdivision, power poles, billboards, and water slides. Listings wanted.
