Windsor Art Center

<table><tbody><tr><td><p>Max Coyer was a Windsor-born artist best known for painting in a style he described as “synthetic art,” an amalgamation of academic and modernist movements. Max passed away in 1988 at the age of 34. This retrospective focuses on the importance of his work in relation to art itself, and highlights how the creative process is a deep strata built over the history of art. Just as Max’s work extols the artists that went before him, this exhibit includes the work of those he in turn influenced, the Max Coyer Scholarship recipients.</p><p align="center" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration-thickness: auto; text-decoration-style: solid; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 18px;">Exhibition Dates: Sept 19 – Oct 31 2026</span></p><p align="center" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration-thickness: auto; text-decoration-style: solid; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18px; color: #333333;">Opening Reception: Saturday, Sept 19, 5-7pm</span></p><h3>SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS:</h3><p>Alex Santos, Emma Gudrian, Jaime Alphonso, Jennifer Wolf, Melina Mercado, Samuel Francis&nbsp;</p><p> </p><h3>IMPORTANT DATES &amp; PROGRAMS:</h3><ul><li><b>Opening Reception:</b> Saturday, Sept 19th from 5–7pm.&nbsp;Meet Max’s family and the scholarship recipients while getting your first look at the exhibition.&nbsp;Free to attend, light refreshments will be served!</li><li><b>CT River &amp; Roots Concert</b>: Saturday, October 3, 2pm.&nbsp;&nbsp;Presenting Phil and the Flying Leap, a Boston-based vaudeville folk trio.

Born in Windsor, Connecticut, Coyer attended Trinity College in Hartford before relocating to New York, where he devoted himself fully to his practice and developed a body of work of extraordinary range and ambition.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
<table><tbody><tr><td><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Coyer was a painter of deep intellectual curiosity who believed that art could not be contained by a single tradition. He championed what he termed&nbsp;synthetic art&nbsp;— a declaration that the long-standing divide between academic and modernist painting was over. His canvases drew freely from the full sweep of art history, embracing influences as wide-ranging as African masks, Etruscan mosaics, Japanese prints, and the Old Masters — among them Caravaggio, Bronzino, Georges de la Tour, and Van Gogh — and returned them transformed, in a voice that was unmistakably his own.</p><p>His work spans several distinct bodies, including a celebrated still life series marked by warmth and compositional precision, and an icon series demonstrating a commanding visual language rooted in form and symbolism. Coyer’s paintings are held in museums, galleries, and corporate collections across the country.</p><p>Playwright Edward Albee, writing in July 1989, captured the quality of Coyer’s vision with characteristic precision: his paintings, Albee observed, were a catalogue of enthusiasms and homages — a life’s work spent in joyful, rigorous conversation with the whole of art history.</p><p>Max Coyer died in 1988 at the age of thirty-four, having contracted HIV at a time when that diagnosis meant one thing only. The art world lost a singular talent at the height of his powers. Had circumstances been different, his name would today be among the most recognized of his generation.</p><p>His legacy endures. The Max Coyer Memorial Scholarship, awarded annually to a Windsor High School art student, carries his name and his spirit forward. His work continues to be exhibited and celebrated, including six paintings currently on loan to the Office of the Connecticut Lieutenant Governor — a homecoming, long overdue, for one of Connecticut’s own.</p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
