Throughout the 1990’s, artist Robert Hummel helped create parade floats in a former Tootsie Roll factory that became the creative center and design studio for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It was there that the use of vivid color to inspire children was a requirement. This requirement, working along side Manfred Bass, the former founding designer and director of the parade, and Robert’s love of children's books, became the inspiration for painting, “the light within Princeton”. http://www.PrincetonArtImpressions.com
Capturing the radiance of the glow within, and around, Princeton – at dusk and on into the night – Robert’s painted structures warm the heart and light up the soul. Whether a glimmering lamppost or a fireplace glow expressed in a window, Princeton comes brilliantly alive in his use of acrylics on canvas and board.
These luminous scenes, for Robert, serve as magical reminders that we too – as “structures” have a radiant light within.
