Cliff McReynolds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cliff McReynolds is an American abstract expressionist painter from California. Active since the 1950s and popularly known from the 1970s on, McReynolds' works often depict animals against panoramic scenes from nature, created in color and on canvas measuring several square feet. Some of his paintings, including The Arrival or those from his "La Jolla Pentych", are composed of complicated interlocking scenes with dozens of distinct elements seen from a distance, reminiscent of Salvador Dalí's and others' surrealist works yet approaching the level of crowding found in Adolf Wölfli's "horror vacui" explorations (or even that of Martin Handford's more playful Where's Waldo? books).
