In a 1994 interview with fabled landscape painter Russell Chatham the journalist Charles Kuralt said, "The sun and rain and rushing rivers of this country have worked their way into his soul and onto his canvasses." And his canvasses and original lithographs of Montana landscapes, which have been wildly popular with collectors, have been exhibited in over 400 one-man shows and in museums and galleries throughout North America over five decades. They have also been exhibited in Europe and Asia. His signed and dated original lithographs feature the printmaking techniques that Chatham pioneered in the early 1980s, and typically involve 30-40 different layers of color. He has since become one of the foremost practitioners of that craft in the world. His technique can be seen in the documentary on You Tube entitled, Winter Above Deep Creek: The Making of a Lithograph, which provides wonderful insight into not just the technical aspect of the production of the pictures, but into Chatham's atmospheric and serene style. Viewers find a solace and calmness in Chatham's work. It's been said of his paintings: "The work has a fundamental optical vibrancy to it which gives it an inner life that is capable of seducing the viewer in a way that he or she need not even be aware."
