About the Artist: Arthur Shilstone is a watercolor artist who blends impressionistic and realistic styles with beautiful finesse. In his paintings, Shilstone strives "to impart a sense of place as well as the mood." Born in New Jersey, Shilstone is now a long-time resident of Connecticut.
Shilstone's initial enrollment at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, was interrupted by World War II. During his three years in the Army in the European Theater, he spent as much time sketching as he could. After the war, Shilstone returned to the Pratt Institute, from which he graduated in 1947.
Shilstone began his career in art as an illustrator. His work appeared in a diverse collection of major American magazines including Life and Smithsonian. Shilstone's artistic grounding in illustration has made draftsmanship integral to his work; his strong linear identification of form allows his color washes to be free and loose.
Shilstone paintings are included in numerous private collections and in the permanent collections of many corporate giants. An official NASA artist, Shilstone's space shuttle paintings hang in the Smithsonian Institution's Air and Space Museum.
A member of the American Watercolor Society and the Society of Illustrators, Shilstone likes to do some of his preparatory work out of doors. "Working on the spot, uncomfortable as it is at times, gives me a wider range of material from which to choose. It suggests shapes and colors which I might not otherwise consider and what to eliminate, what to emphasize."
