Mark Stock --Oil Painting Artist Known for Butler Series:

Mark Stock (Aug. 4, 1951-Mar. 26, 2014) was born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1951. The son of an Army officer, He lived in many states across America before settling in St. Petersburg, Florida. He received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of South Florida in Tampa where he studied under Theo Wujcik. Upon graduating in 1976, he was hired to work at Gemini G.E.L. in Los Angeles as a lithographer. While there, he printed for notable artists such as Jasper Johns, David Hockney, Robert Rauschenberg, and Roy Lichtenstein before leaving to paint full-time. Mark Stock is best known for a series on butlers in tuxedos and white gloves that suggested 1940s movie stills.

"Mark Stock was a narrative oil painting painter out of step with modern oil painting when he started, but now he will emerge as this unique painter who transcends Modernist trends," said art historian Barnaby Conrad III, author of "Mark Stock: Oil Paintings," published in 2000.
