Jeremiah’s expressive watercolors not only act as an archive of interior design for the second half of the 20th Century, but also provide a glimpse into the artist’s unique ability to infuse a depiction of domestic space with sense of drama and emotion second only to being there. In addition to making art based on the interiors, Jeremiah also painted commissioned studies for rooms-to-be, creating the beautiful plans on which the rooms themselves would be based. Jeremiah: A Romantic Vision is a sumptuous retrospective of Jeremiah’s career.
Over the span of his over 50 year long career, Jeremiah has painted renderings of the interiors and homes of such influential icons as President and Mrs. Ronald Reagan; legendary theatre personas Mary Martin, Sir John Gielgud, and Richard Rodgers; Baron and Baroness Philippe de Rothschild; jewelry designer Elsa Peretti; Greta Garbo; Cecil Beaton; Betsy Bloomingdale; the Duchess of Windsor; fashion designers Elsa Schiaparelli and Bill Blass; Diana Vreeland, interior designers Billy Baldwin and Mario Buatta; and famed photographer Bruce Weber; in addition to illustrating rooms for House and Garden, The New York Times Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar,and Interior Design, a publication for which Jeremiah illustrated each month’s cover for 15 years. Jeremiah: A Romantic Vision offers a rare look at a true life of grandeur.
