Slides and More Slides!" Do you remember the good old days when Buddy Dean was popular and slides were the go to method for high quality projected images? Well it is time to revisit that era. Three of our “veteran club members” will take us down memory lane and give us the “skinny” on what it was/is all about. Poodle skirts, saddle shoes and crew cuts will be allowed. |

Program 5 |
Speaker: Tom Beck - “The Creative
Process in the Art of Robert W. Fichter.” Robert W. Fichter, born 1939, is a photographer, painter, printmaker, and draughtsman whose work in retrospect gives viewers an inside look at his creative process. Fichter was born and raised in rural Florida, a place he considered edenic until real estate developers began plundering the state’s many naturally beautiful places. Consequently, his life’s work became a personal response to humanity’s foibles. He has used wit, humor, and political critique in making his commentary on the human condition. The talk will show the development of Fichter’s work, comment on how the work was created, and give Fichter’s view of the human condition. Tom Beck is Chief Curator Emeritus at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and an Affiliate Associate Professor of Art. |
