WILLIAM AHRENDT UNTITLED, ILLUSTRATION MIXED MEDIA ON PAPER

William Harry (Bill) Ahrendt (Born 1933) Untitled, Illustration Mixed Media. A resident of both Pine and Scottsdale, Arizona, William paints portraits and figures of Native Americans based on his love of history. His style is that of the Old Masters, and he begins a painting by mixing and applying a batch of egg tempera as the foundation, building light and dark. William has been contributing editor for "Arizona Highways" magazine where his paintings and historical articles have been published in over 40 issues. He was featured in "Southwest Art" magazine in June 1994 and "Art of the West" magazine in May 1999. Although William Ahrendt paints the American West, he might have more in common with Rembrandt and Rubens than with any of the twentieth century artists who paint the genre of the American west. Known as a historical narrative artist, Ahrendt paints the American western experience in the narrative form employed by the great painters of the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
