“...open the gates of imagination... (D.M.) has a sophisticated Élan…" Vito Cioffero
“Donald Munson is a poet singing the joy of nature, using color and line to produce a poem in visual terms. He has a personal style of great distinction. ...to evolve from sensitive line. … into work one finds a combination of love and understanding of both nature and form." Eva Gatling, Ex. Officio, The Heckscher Museum
“(Don)...balances geometric and biomorphic elements to create exquisite formal tensions in his paintings of flowing forms..." Claude LeSuer, Art Speak, Soho, N. Y.
“Munson has been called a master of multiple visual mediums. ...a story filled with color. Adding to that sensation is his use of impasto ... and the fact he does not mix paints, but rather applies each pure color separately, allowing them to 'mix' visually." Christine White - The Republican
“ 'Haiku' …these minimalist abstract paintings consist of lines,
shapes and pure bold colors that pop… yet, they have a serene feeling."
Christine White - The Republican
“His work assimilates, then transcends, to illuminate abstracted essential truths with a masterful visual language built on line and color"
Douglas P. Clement - Take Magazine
“Munson(s) ... work, offers rich-toned structural elements, distantly evoking?Richard Diebenkorn's Ocean Park series, an otherworldly figural metamorphosis of the organicism of Matisse's cutouts." Susan Boulanger, Art New England
