Painting with a photographer’s eye

Rackstraw Downes, a celebrated painter of views, likes to define his approach to painting in opposition to photography.Good photographers know how to compose detail, which is forever in flux, into memorable form. Downes has this ability too. He started out as an abstract painter. And although he is opposed, in principle (if not always in reality), to fabricating what is in front of him, he chooses very carefully both his views and the stretched-out formats in which he presents them.
