Biography




"...I regard him as one of the most brilliant of the younger American
painters.He is moving with great courage in a direction that few others
find themselves able to go. A certain flatness has come over American
culture and in American painting...Mark Weiss, by his tremendous skill
in color and gesture,is able to move convincinglyinto a place where the
demons and the divinities live and can be seen by us all."

Robert Bly,
poet and author of "Iron John", 1996


"...Mark Weiss is an artist of immense promise; he is vastly talented and
to his natural endowments he adds intelligence, curiousity,diligence,
determination and the rare ability to sustain complex work over a long
period of time."

Leonard Baskin,
artist,sculptor of the FDR memorial in Wash.D.C.-1996


"....his paintings have an ancient and honorable view and probably more
true than we like to think in this age of electronic management."
