Darryl Hughto made his initial reputation as an abstract painter showing in New York City during the seventies. Works from that period in the Clement Greenberg Collection were recently included in the traveling museum exhibition of this collection. He brings both the eye and techniques of a highly talented abstractionist. 

His large scale acrylic landscapes in particular speak forcefully about his roots in Abstract Formalism. Hughto might be seen as returning to the genres of painting revolutionized in the decades surrounding the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from the Impressionists to early Modernists.
 

The work of Darryl Hughto has been nationally published & exhibited many times and is held in the permanent collections of many important museums and other prestigious public and private collections including: Contemporary Art Museum, Houston; Denver Museum of Fine Art; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum New York; Gardner Museum, Boston; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Portland Museum of Art, Portland, OR.
