In researching material for this piece, Chase spent a week in
Washington, DC. During early morning and twilight hours, he photographed
many buildings and landmarks to get a feel for the light and
color. During the daytime hours, he visited The National Archives
and the Library of Congress pouring over hundreds of old black
and white photographs to prepare himself to paint the buildings
as they were - as opposed to as they are today. His exquisite,
elegant style makes him perhaps the finest photo-realist working
today. |
