It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and artist, Alan Flattmann. A native of New Orleans, Alan was internationally celebrated as one of the most influential pastel artists of our time. His poetic realism, mastery in pastel, and decades of dedication to his craft earned him a place in the Pastel Society of America’s Hall of Fame and the Masters Circle of the International Association of Pastel Societies. Through more than 60 solo exhibitions and numerous publications, Alan enriched the art world with his vision and inspired so many with his passion and kindness. He will be profoundly missed by all who knew him.
