Joseph McGurl is a painter from the Cape Cod area who is widely regarded to be one of the leaders of the current American Landscape school. His training has been thorough and exceptional having been schooled at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Massachusetts College of Art; the University of London; as well as extensive private training with the leading Boston School artist, Robert Cormier. His work has been exhibited by major galleries in Massachusetts and New York.

McGurl is a member of the prestigious Copley Society of Boston and the youngest artist ever to be designated a Copley Master. Additionally, he has won numerous awards and honors and has been heralded in American Artist Magazine. McGurl has been represented by John Pence Gallery since 2000.

McGurl’s brushwork has a decidedly tactile quality. He builds up his layers of paint much as a sculptor might build his work of art, deliberately and with confidence. His scenes often display the majestic side of Nature, but he also focuses on her more humble, private moments as well. “Yosemite”, for example, portrays the monolithic scale and grandeur of America’s wilderness, while “Field Study, Dawn East” gives the feeling of a small, familiar maritime town.

Field sketches are available with prices ranging from $3,000 to $6,500. His studio paintings are priced from $12,500 to $50,000. Leading collectors across America have included his work in their collections and we heartily recommend his works to you.
