America! America! U.S. Capitol Building Lithograph

Photo-realist Rod Chase is particularly taken with any scene that features strong reflections. He has traveled to Washington, D.C., to see and photograph the more important buildings close-up, in the daylight, to have a record of accurate architectural detail on them. Then, painting a moody scene like this one, he has to decide how much detail to keep and how much to lose because it detracts from the basic composition.

Rod Chase is known to his collectors for producing photo-realism at its finest. America! America! features the reflection of United States Capitol building as a key – if not the key – element

“When I first wanted to paint the Capitol, Ifelt there was a lot of responsibility because it is an image that has been done a million times before. The challenge is to do something that hasn’t been done and to help people see what they haven’t seen before.” – Rod Chase
