Martha Elizabeth Richter and her heritage

Марина Чиянова
She was a person of art with a rare gift of empathy as well as an innate understanding of line, colour and perspective.

Her artistic voice was distinct and bright, and the main topic of her art heritage was the biggest mystery for people who knew her in person - how she, having faced gloomy and tragic events, managed not to spill her sadness and grief on canvas.

A vast talent paired with a depth of perception and an unusual level of laboriousness and self-control made her part of the 'New American Art' constellation, shining, sincere and warm by nature.

Her works were abundant in colour and excitingly deep.

A loving gaze at the nature, a relaxed and yet energetic manner  - all that actually meant she had a privilege of a unique feel of colour. She was cultured and well-read, with a wonderful, strong and intense affectual life.

A long story of love for music and visual arts, her family and the nature add up to the overall perfect quality of her works.

Organizaed in cycles and periods, they reveal the brightness and a soft, romantic, dynamic delivery which was only typical of her and meant a lot to her and her fellow artists.

The lightness of her attitude combined with a penchant for detail, as well as a strong link to a dynasty she belonged to, have turned her into an artistic legend and one of the most devoted art managers in the world.

As of 2020s, she remains one of the most significant watercolour artists in the US, and her talent and heritage deserve more recognition and appreciation worldwide.
