An exhibition of landscape paintings by Stamford Mayor Robert Schneider opens at the Headwaters Center for the Arts, 66 Main Street, Stamford, June 8 from 4-6 p.m.
Visitors are invited to explore the feelings of place and engage with the landscapes that surround us. Come experience the work of a painter with a profound relationship with art and the community of Stamford.
For over 40 years, Schneider has been working to create classical landscapes in his own distinct style that focuses on atmosphere and light instead of details of a specific location. He studied at The Art Student’s League in the 1970s and spent summers in Stowe, Vermont under the tutelage of Frank Mason. His work is influenced by the painters of the Hudson River School, The American Tonalists and 19th century Impressionists.
Schneider’s work has been shown at The National Art’s Club, The Salmagundi Club, The Hudson River Museum, The Hudson Valley Artists Association, The Newington Cropsey Foundation, The Oklahoma Museum of Art, Bard College and The Fenimore Museum. He lives in Stamford with his wife, painter Susan Goetz. For more information call 607.326.7908 or visit roxburyartsgroup.org
