Interview with Stephen Gjertson
This video features an interview with Minnesota artist, Stephen Gjertson. The interviewer is Terry Meeuwsen, the American television broadcaster, author, singer, and co-host of CBN’s, The 700 Club. She interviewed Mr. Gjertson on the 1st of March 1996 at Regent University, Virginia Beach, Virginia. Stephen belongs to the first group of students who were trained by Richard Lack in the early 1970s at Mr. Lack’s Minnesota based studio-school, Atelier Lack. Lack’s teaching combined the drawing of the nineteenth century Beaux-Arts tradition with the colour and atmosphere of Boston impressionism (which he learned from his teacher, Boston artist, R.H. Ives Gammell). Stephen taught at Atelier Lack for fifteen years, as well as teaching part time at two other Minnesota schools organised by former Lack students, Atelier LeSueur and The Bougie Studio.
Mr. Gjertson has written two biographies on the life and art of Richard Lack, as well as numerous articles and essays for the publications of The American Society of Classical Realism (The ASCR). He has painted professionally for forty-five years, working in all of the major genres of Western art. Today, Stephen shares his life with his wife, Patricia, in his hometown of Minneapolis. They have four children and six grandchildren, all of whom have been included in his art.
