At the age of 18, David Newman began a life long commitment to his art. He is an abstract expressionist painter with a classic sense of composition
and a passion for color and texture. Largely self-taught, David immersed himself early on in an intense study of past masters, and even now into his
seventies, he still paints every day. His brilliant and fascinating career stretches more than six decades and incorporates media ranging from marble
to bronze, oils on canvas, watercolors, ink, pencil and pastels. His works range in size from miniature watercolors and oils to 13-foot murals.

Over the years, Newman has completed many commissioned works, as well as numerous gallery and museum exhibitions. These include a
commission of 34 bronze busts to honor the founders of a new wing of The Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami Beach, in addition to gallery shows at the
Norton Gallery of Art, Palm Beach Florida and the Sindin Gallery, NYC. Corporate Directors from large Fortune 500 firms have purchased his
collections for their offices, and The New York Museum of Modern Art has catalogued his works. In 2001 Schlumberger, purchased 10 pieces for
their Austin Campus including four large Murals.

During David's most current period, he has explored a variety of themes including the Reflections, the Improvs and the Dots series. Although varied
in style from the geometric to the abstract, a unifying thread of bold color, rich texture and dynamic energy defines this period. With the everlasting
devotion and support of his partner, model, muse and wife, Michele, David's creative itinerary continues to reveal a constant evolution with moments
of shifting perspective, interests and approaches, producing a rich and multiform opus.


David Newman died Saturday, November 12, 2005.
