A native of Syracuse, John E. De Tore was born in 1902.
DeTore enjoyed painting continuously since the age of 8. Although he became an engineer with the Niagara Mohawk Power corporation he carried on elective training in the required branches of art.
He took seriously to the watercolor medium from 1940 and by 1955 he was well known for his decisively composed watercolor landscapes and their rich, deep chromatics - earning him acknowledgment in the American Artist Magazine November 1961 issue.
Besides teaching art at Syracuse Museum John DeTore was a member of the American Watercolor Society (gave demonstration at their Annual Exhibit in1965), Syracuse Associated Artists, Grand Central Galleries, Fellow Royal Society of Arts, Allied Artists of America.
While the landscape paintings brought success and added income - for his personal pleasure - DeTore began creating exquisitely complex and sensitive non-objective works, offering the illusion of layering while staving off analytical impulses. less
