34. Liston’s artistic inspiration comes largely from
the late-19th century; he lists John William
Waterhouse, John Singer Sargent, Joaquin
Sorolla, Anders Zorn and William Bouguereau
among his strongest influences. “As an artist my
career is dedicated to the integrity and quality of
representational fine art”, says Liston. “My goal
is to regain the traditions of the past along with
the standards of craftsmanship and training. By
studying the great artists of the past, we artists
of today can once again regain a full command
of proficiency to create great works of art…art
about life”.
35. Liston, american painter, was born in
American Fork, Utah, in 1965. His art
