GENIEMUTT PRESENTS    DON COKER              BROWSE THROUGH MY PAGES AND ENJOY MY IMAGES. YOU WILL SEE WATERCOLOR IS MY PASSION,  BUT DESIGN AND DRAWING ARE THE FUNDAMENTALS TO SUPPORT MY PAINTING.   BIG INFLUENCES IN MY LIFE WERE THE EXPRESSIONISTS ( DEGAS,   BECKMANN ),  AND THE PRECISIONISTS      ( DEMUTH,   SHEELER ).    I'M  DRAWN TO THE EXPRESSIONISTS FOR THEIR CELEBRATION OF FORM, COLOR AND MEDIUM,  THE PRECISIONISTS FOR THEIR SKILL AND TECHNIQUE.  BOTH OF THESE MOVEMENTS DEMONSTRATED AN ABSTRACT QUALITY WITHIN THEIR REPRESENTATIONAL DOGMA.  THESE TWO MOVEMENTS BEGAN, WITH  COMMON OBJECTS FROM THE WORLD AROUND US AND APPLIED THEIR OWN VISION THROUGH HIGHLY DEVELOPED STYLISTIC TECHNIQUES.
