William Olendorf, a lifelong Chicago resident and world recognized artist sketched and painted Chicago and the cities of Europe for over 30 years. Bill's style is neo-impressionist. Olendorf's work consists primarily of landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes done in his straightforward identifiable style which reflected the beauty in what he saw. His original paintings are in the private collections of former presidents Bush, Reagan, Nixon, Ford and Clinton. His work is also in the private collections of Henry Kissinger, Anwar Sadat, Fidel Castro, Jack Lynch and president Mubarek of Egypt. Among the corporate collections that contain his work are Amoco, J. Walter Thompson, Amnerican Airlines, the Matif, Tiffany & Company and Bloomingdales. The works you see on these pages are giclee prints printed on canvas and mounted on hardwood boards. The reproduction is so precise and the colors so intense that it is almost impossible to tell the difference between the original painting and the giclee. Olendorf giclees are printed in limited editions of 20.
