June’s exhibit in the Gallery features work by water colorist, Kathleen Richert and photographer, Stuart Klipper in an exhibit entitled Points of View.

Stuart Klipper and Kathleen Richert

For decades Kathleen Richert and Stuart Klipper have wandered the countryside, separately and together, following tertiary routes and roads less traveled in search of subjects. Richert arms herself with watercolor paint, paper, and brushes; Klipper wields his trusty wide-field film camera (yes, film). Richert often quips, “Some trips we stop every thousand feet so Stuart can make a picture, but it only takes a sixtieth of a second. We may stop once or twice so that I can make a picture, and we are there for half an hour.”
Early on they discovered that they both prefer a rectangular landscape orientation. Both are drawn to subjects which are representative of a geographic area, but which include something specific and unique anchoring that image to a specific locale, even to its coordinates.

“Photography,” says Klipper, “is knowing where to stand.” For both Richert and Klipper, images begin with deciding where to stand— or sit — to frame their specific points of view.

There will be an Artist Talk presented at 1:00 p.m. on this final day of the exhibit, followed by a reception. All are invited for this special time with the artists.
