"I see my landscape paintings as recordings of places that
hover somewhere between memory, invention, dream, and experience."
REVIEWS
"Reitzfeld’s landscapes manifest an eerie
stillness, a calmness that belies their active surfaces. For the
artist, in a sense, nature functions are a mirror, affording her
the opportunity to seek out the deepest feelings engendered there
and bringing them to fruition; the landscape painting as self-portrait.
For the viewer, Reitzfeld’s paintings compel us to return
to them over time, as if each reading offers a means of experiencing
nature, even momentarily, through the eyes of the artist. —Robert
G. Edelman
"Lucy Gould Reitzfeld's landscape paintings encompass
nature's many moods,including her own. Devoid of people,
they are timeless scenes of forests, meadows and rivers, places
in the artist's past or memories of masterpieces seen long
ago... Hard-edged reality is subsumed by her emotional response
to the momentary visions of dappled light in a forest, reflections
on water or cloudbursts." —Celia Bergoffen, The Villager.
"...the end result, while realistic enough, is always
a bit "off" — but that only adds to the painting's
mystery." —Back Beat, Lexington Ky.
"Bold, arbitrary tones and vigorous brushwork contribute
to the success of a field scene by Lucy Reitzfeld..." —Phyllis
Braff, The New York Times
