Tujague’s at Night, 2011 Pastel; 22 x 32 in. Collection of Alan Flattman 260 ART IN CONTEMPORARY LOUISIANA ALAN FLATTMANN b. 1946, New Orleans, Louisiana Over a career spanning more than forty years, New Orleans painter Alan Flattmann has become recognized as one of the most influential and respected pastel artists in the country. Equally comfortable working in oils and watercolors, his work is filled with the rich imagery of the many corners of the world he has visited. Flattmann views his paintings of the Vieux Carré as documents, recording people, places, and things, perhaps as he would like to see them. During his early years, the more Flattmann worked in the French Quarter and South Louisiana, the more he searched for work scenes unspoiled by modern mechanization. Sugarcane fields became mechanized eliminating the need for knife-wielding cane cutters. Gangs of longshoremen and roustabouts, once common along the Mississippi River wharves, have given way to forklifts and shipping containers.
