 Stranded Ice in Columbia Bay at Sunrise by David Rosenthal
PAINTING AT THE END OF THE ICE AGE OPENS FRIDAY
First Friday, November 3, 4:30–7 pm
Lecture with David Rosenthal at 6:30 pm
David Rosenthal has painted glaciers for the last 48 years. From the Arctic to Antarctica, his work chronicles the retreat of glaciers and sea ice. Painting at the End of the Ice Age documents the effects of climate change within one lifetime. For this exhibition, Rosenthal worked with a group of scientists from around the world to create interpretive panels that accompany his paintings.
Before becoming an artist, he studied physics. He has traveled with the U.S. Coast Guard Art Program, the Antarctic Artist and Writer Program, and the Alaska Artists in the Schools Program. He worked in Greenland at Summit Camp as a contract science tech employed by the National Science Foundation and worked as science support contractor in Antarctica for the National Science Foundation. These experiences inform his art. David Rosenthal lives in Cordova.
