David Campbell (painter)

David Campbell (born 1936) is an American realist painter, poet, and faculty member at the Maine College of Art. Many of his oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings feature urban and industrial scenes rendered meticulously higher than the course of months and even years of plein-air sessions, deftly imbuing quotidian subjects gone abstract significance. A large part of Campbell's deed captures the cartoon and intricacy of urban and suburban vistas, especially almost his former address in Somerville, Massachusetts.
