The Don Van Vliet Paintings Gallery

Welcome to an exhibition of the finest abstract paintings you're likely to see, all by Don Van Vliet.

All the pictures (over 100 of them) are arranged according to the year of their completion. This page offers you a small taster of each collection, however I would recommend viewing the complete collection index for each year - there are some wonderful paintings in here. In the words of Robert Williams, former Magic Band drummer: "Don's Art is spectacular. It reminds me of a drunk on a high wire who miraculously makes it to the other side each time, but not without the tension."

I hope you enjoy this gallery. Click on the picture title to see the full version of the picture, click on the collection title to see the full index for that year.

If you are looking for something specific, or would prefer to see thumbnails of all the paintings arranged alphebetically, you might prefer to hunt through

'Scratch of Light' - The Van Vliet Painting Index
