A contemporary impressionist painter from the Cape Cod School of Art, Dennis Lucas focuses on the ever-changing light key and its effects on color in nature.
The Cape Cod School of Art was instituted by Charles Hawthorne over 100 years ago. Hawthorne developed a style of impressionist painting which he taught in New York and Provincetown, MA. Henry Hensche, Hawthorne’s assistant and bridge to the next generation of Cape School painter’s, continued this method as Director of the School. Hilda Neily, Cedric Egeli and Lois Griffell are the contemporary masters from the Cape School who have handed down this lineage to Lucas.
In 2001, he was invited to be the Artist in Residence at the historic Whistler House Museum of Art in Lowell, MA where he painted and taught for two years.
An active teacher and member of the Arlington, Provincetown and Lowell art communities, Lucas is an associate member of the Boston Guild of Artists and serves on the board of the Cutter Gallery in Arlington.
