Robert Seufert
Robert Seufert’s oil painting “Falls at Ricketts Glen” was one of the 45 living artists works included in the recent 2005, 75th Anniversary Retrospective Exhibition at Phillips Mill, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Forty-five non-living artists’ works, some from the Pennsylvania Impressionist School, such as Garber, Lathrop and Redfield were also displayed. This exhibition showcased the work of 90 artists, total, who had exhibited at the Mill’s Annual Show from 1929 to 2004.
To quote Cathy Viksjo, a regional art critic and author of an article in the Bucks County Town and Country Living magazine: “Coming across the paintings of Robert Seufert is like unexpectedly finding the crown jewels buried in your back yard”. With a B.F.A. from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art, Elkins Park, PA, Robert J. Seufert works full time as a professional artist. He and his wife, Alice Olson Seufert, a watercolorist and art teacher, share studio space in their suburban Bucks County home. They have three children.
Robert Seufert’s paintings can best be described as being realistic in style with a very delicate, meticulous use of the painting knife to achieve an unusual effect. Details of individual leaves and other elements of nature are rendered by a stippling process, which has been described as very similar to that used by French Post-Impressionist Georges Seurat (1859 - 1891), in his innovative technique of pointillism. He is principally a landscape painter, with most of his subject matter derived from Bucks County, PA.
Mr. Seufert’s paintings are owned and have been exhibited in twenty-three states, Canada, France, Germany and Japan, with well over one thousand seven hundred of his original works represented in private and corporate collections, including The Equitable Life Assurance Company, McGraw-Hill Companies and Dewey Ballantine, L.L.P. of Washington, D.C.
Painting professionally since 1968, Mr. Seufert has won nearly one hundred awards including many best of shows and first prizes. His works have been accepted into numerous national and regional juried exhibitions.

In 1987, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2001 and 2003 Mr. Seufert's depictions of national sites or national parks won him a place in the prestigious National Park Academy of the "Arts for the Parks" competition in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This national competition receives as many as 2,100 to 2,700 entries per year. Only 200 works are chosen to be in the exhibition. Of these, 100 works are selected enabling them the opportunity to win top prizes and travel around the country at various galleries and museums.
In historic Bucks County, PA , he recently captured the "Casimir and Jane P. Sienkiewicz Award" for a traditional painting in the style of the New Hope School at the Phillips Mill exhibition in Solebury, PA. This was the third award he has won at Phillips Mill for his oil paintings.
Painting trips have included stays in Arizona, Maine, Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Florida. He and his wife, Alice, also display their artwork at their studio in Bucks County, PA.
Although he has self-published limited edition fine art prints and has been represented by other fine art publishers; Mr. Seufert is presently under an exclusive contract with Mill Pond Press Companies of Venice, Florida to publish his paintings.
