His art is both exciting in its visual complexity and classically beautiful in color choice and arrangement.

The Butler Insitute of American Art is pleased and honored to exhibit the outstanding work of this most talented of artists.<\/p>\n<p>When Mr. Joseph Butler founded the Insitute in 1919, he envisioned the exhibiting of the best of the art produced by Americans.

In the mid-19th century, scenic vistas welcomed explorers looking to escape urbanization amid the Industrial Revolution, who retreated to the idyllic landscapes that beckoned westward migrations. American landscape painting became the height of artistic expression as leading artists of the Hudson River School adopted a romantic, idealized, and inspiring style in which the American landscape appeared in epic proportion and biblical air, ultimately forging a renewed post-war \u2018American\u2019 identity.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Messersmith builds on the historical traditions of American landscape painting with contemporary expressions of wildlife in times of change, through immersive narratives decoding allegorical themes of both salvation and destruction. Working with a combination of conventional and nontraditional materials, Messersmith constructs monumental environments that physically extend beyond the canvas with hand-carved ornamentations and sculpture\u2014covered by broken mirrors, colored glass and even glitter.<\/p>\n<p><em>Allegory: The Illuminated Landscapes of Mark Messersmith<\/em> examines the romanticized mythology of the American landscape against the reality of human interference, bringing forth an awareness and appreciation for the preservation of the natural world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid eltd-section eltd-content-aligment-left\">\n<div class=\"clearfix eltd-full-section-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><em>Mark Messersmith is an artist based in Tallahassee, Florida, where he taught painting and drawing at Florida State University, earning the distinction of Professor Emeritus.
