Michael Davidoff

September - October 2025
Born in Paris, France in 1944, I immigrated to the United States in 1956. Showing a natural artistic talent, I graduated from the High School of Art and Design in New York City.
​
Majoring in advertising art and illustration, I continued a career in commercial art, spanning 15 years. I developed an advocation in fine art. Since 1975, I devoted full attention to watercolor painting. I have exhibited my paintings at art festivals and galleries throughout New England for the past 45 years.
​
I have always been inspired by Andew Wyeth’s realism. Working in the watercolor medium, rendering compositions in which every nuance is meticulously detailed. A process of using manmade elements to establish a true sense of place. I have a deep fondness for the family farms in the region I live in. They are rapidly vanishing from the landscape. My paintings are the direct examples of wanting to preserve their legacy. My approach is integrity of theme through precise realism.

Artist: Brian Lynch
Images from Everyday Life
In this photo, Saugerties artist Brian Lynch is seen installing a mural [5 x 21 feet] made specifically for our ground floor hallway between the Children’s Section and the Saugerties Public Library Art Gallery. It was created in connection with his show: Images from Everyday Life. The mural is collaged from various Lynch works. You can see many scenes and people depicted in Lynch’s unique style—a style that generates empathy for the human condition.
This unique work is the first
site-specific work done for the Library.
