Donn DeVita (1931-2010) "Turtle Portrait" Oil on Board. Donn P. DeVita (1931-2010) was born in Scarsdale, New York. Soon after the family moved to their Connecticut farmland, where he attended Windham High School, Norwich Art School and served four years with the United States Navy in the Korean War. He received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and his MA from Columbia University in New York. His professional experience includes illustration for many well known authors including Bird in the Bush, by Kenneth Rexroth, published by New Directions. Other publishers include Doubleday, Crown, Benziger Brothers, Teachers College Press, Hanson Enterprises, Dutton, Frederick Fell Inc. In addition, his paintings earned him numerous commissions by discerning textile firms and interior designers. The paintings are a sum of his total existence with each canvas being an isolated concept of a particular image. In some, the subtle interweaving of subject background gives a fluid movement that pushes and pulls the paint into concepts of gossamer matter. In his art, he creates not merely the appearance of things but a larger truth that merges the world of the subject idea with the intangible world of man's image abstractions. The nuances of color complexities and tactile revelations merge into sensitive, unassuming statements that give the viewer a new kind of intimate pleasure experience.
