in his hometown of Montclair, New Jersey. It has continued in New York City, Paris, and the tiny village of Monsalès in the Aveyron in France, where he painted this picture, one of his very first oils. Today he continues to thrive and grow at the Art Students League in Manhattan. Click on "Catalog" at the top of this page to see all of his work available here.
The first thing visitors see when they walk into my home is a serene Joe Stouter mountain landscape painting. The deep blues, greens and golds set the mood — and the color palette — for the whole house. It’s the most beautiful artwork I’ve ever had.

Mr. Stouter infuses great soul into his still lives, instilling an inner calm in anyone who owns one. Especially now, I feel ever so lucky to have one of his beautiful oils hanging in my California home.

Joe Stouter’s work skillfully straddles the line between realistic and impressionistic. His ever-evolving experiments with color are masterful and playful. We take great pleasure every day from seeing his paintings in our home.
--Rich Meislin
Joe Stouter is the rare animal that becomes an artist as a mature adult, thereby skipping over decades of stormy weather and sailing directly into either a brick wall or the sublime. (The brick wall proves the difficulty of making art; the sublime proves difficulty’s susceptibility to mastery.) The last painting of Joe’s I bought appealed to me for its resemblance to a Turner, but living with it, it has become simply a sublime Stouter, one that I love and admire and trust, which is to say it’s really art. Joe is really a painter. Against all odds
