Indepth Arts News: "Anthony Holdsworth: Italian Landscapes" 2005-12-16 until 2006-02-16 Caffe 817 Oakland, CA, USA United States of America
Holdsworth is best known for his cityscapes. Perhaps you have seen him recently, painting at 5th and Mission in San Francisco or at 14th and Broadway in Oakland, working on a continuing urban series that have won him critical praise throughout California. Less well known is the fact that Holdsworth began painting in Florence, Italy, where he helped with restoration after the disastrous flood of 1966. He returns frequently to Italy to paint in the cities and the countryside.
This summer Holdsworth spent two months in Italy. He painted on Lake Como, and in Rome. While in Italy, he conducted painting classes for the first time when nine Bay Area residents joined him in apartments in Florence and on an agriturismo in Tuscany for two weeks of outdoor painting.
A native of the United Kingdom, Holdsworth studied painting in Florence, Italy, Bournemouth College of Art, England, and at the San Francisco Art Institute. He has shown at the San Diego Museum, the Fresno Museum and the Oakland Museum of California, as well as galleries statewide. He currently represents himself out of his West Oakland studio, which is open the Last Sunday of every month, noon to 5pm. He teaches evening painting classes in his studio, and leads painting expeditions to towns and rural communities around Lake Patzcuaro in Michoacan, Mexico.
