| Jacob Collins, Self Portrait, 11x9 |
Jacob Collins is certainly one of the most accomplished realist painters of our time, his contribution as an educator is unequaled. A driving force in the Realist Revolution to revive the art of traditional painting, Collins through his schools and ateliers (Grand Central Academy / Water Street Atelier) has already trained a generation of new artists racking up an impressive list of alumni.
Collins at times seems reluctant to take on the role of leader for the movement
but I can not imagine where the state of contemporary realism would be with out
him.
