Life, Examined
This 2018 lecture was given by artist guest-explorer Robert Buelteman at The Foster Museum in Palo Alto, California in 2018. The Foster was established to celebrate the work of Tony Foster, in whose watercolors Buelteman found a strong resonance with his black-and-white landscape works. At one point represented by the same gallery in Santa Fe, Tony once wrote “My hope is that when my work is exhibited, not only will people be struck by the extraordinary beauty of the places I find, but it will also strengthen their resolve to protect these places from depredation.”
