From the Dune

This active day on the boardwalk and the beach at the turn of the century is another example of the artist's enjoyment in painting people, standing, sitting, riding bicycles, chatting casually about who knows what. "Dick has a real feeling for these figures, their humanity, and their humor. He has a rare talent for eliciting from simple gestures a great deal about the personality and intention of the person he is painting. These so-called "primitives" with a paucity of features and in their shadowless milieu, speak volumes. The power of stylization is often much greater than an overdose of detail. Dick LaBonte proves this." a quote by Sheila M. Pardoe, in the introduction of the book, Dick LaBonte: Paintings of the Jersey Shore and More, published by Jersey Shore Publications ©2002
