Book Description

September 1997
The wide appeal of McKnight's world is explained in part by its mixture of wild beauty and domestic luxury. His idyllic islands in the sun invariably include aspects of the developed culture he considers indispensable. McKnight's paradise has the best of everything -- what better definition of heaven can there be?

Clearly and strongly, his beautiful images of places near and far appeal to our senses -- his lush but subtle color, his charming and elegant compositions, his skillful rendering of form -- these qualities we admire and enjoy in the works of master artists of all time.

Thomas McKnight's work is in the collections of major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and millions of his paintings and silk-screen prints have sold through galleries and print stores across the nation. McKnight, who has devoted his time exclusively to art since 1972, is best known for his pictures of serene and beautiful rooms. These inviting, jewel-toned spaces have large windows or archways overlooking equally attractive outdoors scenes both local (Boston Public Garden or Manhattan Penthouse) and exotic (Venice, Parts, or the Greek isles).

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful & colorful, to keep or give - thoughtfully written, April 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Windows on Paradise (Hardcover)
This was my first introduction to Thomas McKnight, who has traveled the world and has translated his vision into gorgeous, colorful paintings rich with detail, whimsy and creativity. McKnight finds paradise everywhere he goes, and it's easy to enjoy his vision and fantasize about your own experience there, from New York City to the Greek Islands, to the Caribbean. A great book gift for those who travel, or for armchair travelers. Makes you want to see his artwork 'up close' to see even more.
