Gus Heinze
Gus Heinze (born May 1, 1926 in Bremen, Germany) is an American photorealist painter. Early work From 1947-1950, Heinze studied under Robert Weaver, Howard Trafton, and Robert Ward Johnson at the School of Visual Arts and the Art Students League in New York. During the 1950s and 1960s he worked as a freelance commercial artist on Madison Avenue.

As his works can appear half-real, half-abstract, it is not surprising that the artis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
