Seymour Remenick, a Philadelphia painter, worked in both realistic and abstract styles. He studied with Hans Hoffman and for many years taught at the Pennsylvania Academy. This interesting "dreamscape," with its debt to surrealism, illustrates but one aspect of this versatile artist's extensive career. Remenick exhibited widely at such venues as the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Academy of Design, the Pennsylvania Academy, and elsewhere in the United States and in Europe. His prizes include the Benjamin Altman Landscape Prize and the Hallmark Purchase Award (both 1960). Remenick participated in a show of American painters in Rome in 1955 and was one of eleven contemporary American painters given a show in Paris in 1956. He continued to paint vigorously until his death in 1999.
