About
Gathering calm is about having the ability to see a subject, to secure it and to convey it with the same intensity that it was experienced. It suggests a completeness of action that is sophisticated, subtle and not easy to achieve. Bill Schwab knows landscapes – and, indeed, it is evident that he loves them. His methodology is both intuitive and analytical. Often his landscapes are of a splendor that can only be described as poetic. At other times, the subjects are simpler yet equally poignant and range from the humorous to the mysterious.
