Optometry and photography are both concerned with the eye, with sharpening vision and offering new points of view. Fremont Ellis had worked in both fields before taking up art. Ellis would become the best known of Los Cinco Pintores- Santa Fe’s answer to the Taos Founders- and in Early Spring- New Mexico, we see his unmistakable style: strong composition that leads the eye from element to element, balanced by easy brushwork and bold application of paint. Despite his interest in seeing, Ellis wants you to feel the day: winter abating; spring pulsing.
-James D. Balestrieri
