doarte
I live in New York City and am a practicing artist and educator.
Â
To begin … I have an M.F.A. from the University of Arizona. My academic and professional career include: teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, serving as Director of the renowned 92 ST. Y’s Photography Department in New York City and Executive Director of the Institute for Art and Photographic Resources in Westchester New York and also an Adjunct Professor at New York University.
Other career highlights: I was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and Polaroid chose some my images for its 50th anniversary celebration … POLAROID 50, a collection of 50 leading artists including famous artists as Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams, Cindy Sherman, etc.
My work has appeared internationally in galleries and museums, including the Toyko Metropolitan Museum of Photography, 80 Washington Square Gallery, New York City, Gallerie Mabrie in Paris, France, Lombard Freid Gallery, New York City, The Photographers Gallery London, England, Visage London, England, X+Â Brussels, Belgium Contretype, Brussels, Belgium, Thomans Cohn Gallery Rio de Janerio, Brazil, Foundation Canon Image Center Amsterdam, Art Institute Chicago, Illinios, Caltherine Edelman Gallery Chicago, Illinois, Kara Geneve, Zurich, Switzerland. Baronian -Lambert, Ghent Belgium.

A parallel “passion†for computer art began 15 years ago with 3D image making and the now ancient Photoshop 5 which culminated in QUESTIONS FOR A FETUS … a three-month installation of some 60 digital images sponsored by the Mother Earth Committee of New York City.
And now?  Now there’s doarte’s merry MADHOUSE with its Museum of Unnatural History for mementos past and present, the ODDATORIA Galleries for beasts and beauties, devil dolls and scenes devoted to serenity, a MIDWAY mad for models (fashionable and futuristic, glamorous and ghastly). And of course there is a circus serving divine divas to acrobatic rats … dozens of digital images dedicated to a relief from reality.
But the grandest dream of all … joining with other digital artist to make the computer a respected and important contributor to the world of art … just as the camera did for the world of photography.

as to such sights previous unseen, the depth on humanity devled deep into this beings eyes, bespeak an intelligence far sharper than a serpents fang. It is with grand fortune that the Odditoria has given refuge to such an intelligent simyan. Many times during my travels (and travails) have I beheld such wonders of the natural animal as to give me chills. And it is of further good fortue that I have acquried (prior to this posting, I might add) season's tickets to both the Philharmonic and the Opera (my intended, Lady Constance is absolute of a giddy nature when ghinking about the night we saw Elektra at the Met..... flying in by Steam Powered Dyrygible, of course....) so this is of great behevolance to both of us. for this I say Bravo, Dear Doctor, Bravo!

My friend this is just what I needed as nothing can pick me up more than a trip to Doarte's Madhouse. What a stupendous work you did in introducing MAX to everyone here, as always your discoveries never dissapoint. I wait eagerly to see him conducting the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and Metropolitan Opera Chorus and hope you'll reserve me a front row seat. Still I fear I might be alongside Bonzo as I'm still not convinced their not related in some distant way ;)
