This Friday from 4 - 6 PM will be the opening of "Painting at the End of the Ice Age" by David Rosenthal. David will be giving an artist talk during this time as well. Free entry and light refreshments will be provided. THE PAINTINGS in this exhibit can be appreciated individually as works of art. As a whole, they stand as evidence of the unfolding tragedy of global warming. Through interpretive panels, Rosenthal ties together his fine art with the science that plays a role in its creation and contributes to his understanding of the landscape. DAVID ROSENTHAL, of Cordova, studied physics and ended up as an artist. He has traveled widely with the U.S. Coast Guard Art Program; the U.S. Antarctic Artist and Writer Program; the Alaska State Artist Program; and as a science tech and contractor. His art is informed by experiences at the Arctic Polar Ocean and ice cap; Greenland and its ice cap; the Northwest passage; and in Antarctica.
