NOEL J. QUINN, INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN ARTIST, DIES

Noel J. Quinn, an internationally known artist whose paintings hang in the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon, has died. He was 77.

Quinn died Wednesday in a nursing home after a series of strokes, the most recent May 1, said his daughter, Erin.

A native of Pawtucket, R.I., Quinn studied art at the Rhode Island School of Design and won a fellowship for postgraduate study in Paris.

"I feel the color. Color is a sensation," Quinn told the Los Angeles Times in 1973 while discussing his Santa Anita Portfolio, a series of six racing sketches made in 1960 that hang in the Los Angeles Turf Club at Santa Anita Park.

Quinn's commissioned paintings hang in the Pentagon, the Library of Congress and the U.S. Capitol.

His paintings have been exhibited in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and in galleries in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo.

He is survived by his wife, Helen, five children, Erin, Brian, Tara, Terence and Sheila, and seven grandchildren.
