Name: Allan Berman
Bio:
Allan Berman was born in San
Francisco in 1942 and through the years has become well known for his realistic
trompe L'oeil portraits, still life, and wildlife paintings. Allan studied
under the late modern day master, Roberto Lupetti, enabling him to ally his style
of realistic portrayal with classical technique. Allan has gained national and
international recognition as one of America's premier pastel artists.
From 1976 to 1080
he was Resident Still Life Artist at the New Masters Gallery, Carmel,
California. He started to garner awards in 1998; among his portrait commissions
are those of Sylvester Stallone and Buddy Holly. (Allan is a keen musician, and
Elvis tribute artist, performing for President Clintons 50th birthday
celebration live on television.) Allan is also a formidable
photographer, his ability displayed by his stunning images of Lake Tahoe and
Yosemite. He is a past member of the Sierra Pastel Society and has featured in
numerous publications – I recently came upon this artist in an old copy of Pastel
Artist International, issue 6, 2001.
Allan’s studios are
in Palm Desert, Ca.
