Richard Reiner

Art Brokerage: Richard Reiner American Artist: rnRichard was born in the Bronx, New York. His mother is a Holocaust survivor from Czechoslovakia who loved the arts, and his father loved the outdoors and nature. Together, their passion had a profound impact on him, and he credits his family with his exposure to the arts from an early age. They regularly visited art museums and galleries, leading him to follow his creative path in the arts.rnrnrnrnRichard developed the acting bug during his high school years and was influenced by his uncle, Carl Reiner. This took him into acting and ultimately led to him becoming a talent agent for the next 25 years. Then, a bizarre twist of fate drew Richard back to painting. His teenage daughter decided she wasn't interested in attending the art classes he bought for her, so he decided to use her prepaid classes. He never looked back. Today, as an adventurer and lover of the outdoors, Richard is driven to explore the environment. He tries to capture the serenity and power of nature, even the beauty in a storm. The impression it leaves always inspires and motivates him to paint. Richard has studied at an impressive list of schools, and names some of his influences as: John Singer Sargent, Richard Schmid, William Turner, Richard Diebenkorn and the Bay Figurative Artists.
