Harry Mintz's artstic influences were Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Georges Seurat, Camille Pisarro, and John Constable. He particularly liked the way they used light and color.

Mintz's work is found in many permanent collections of many major U.S. and International Art Museums as well as numerous private collections.

Artist Statements of Artistic Influences:

From the French school - Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Georges Seurat and Camille Pissarro: the way they use light and color impressed me.

From the English school - John Constable: his use of color and light in landscapes opened a new window to me.

As far as American artists, I especially liked George Bellows. When I was kid I was impressed with his piece "stag et sharkies". The action and the strength of the painting sang to me. I also admire John Singer Sargent.
