The Gallery at Yesteryear Featuring Robert Steiner 2609 Turf Valley Road Ellicott City, Maryland 21042 410-465-0987 Biography Robert is somewhat unusual in that he got directly involved in art at a relatively advanced age. While his interest in art goes back many years, he did not become an active participant until the last few years, after a half-century spent in a very different occupation, from which he retired in 1995. He was born in Manila, P. I. and received an AB from Princeton in 1947 and his PhD from Harvard in 1950. As an artist he is mostly self taught, but has taken courses at Howard Community College in drawing with J. Adkins and oil painting with Y. Gan. Most of his paintings are based on computer manipulated photographic images, which are transferred to canvas. The photographs themselves were collected over many years. Computer manipulation permits the exploration for many configurations and arrangements in a short time. In some cases he employed computer generated images as components of a painting. Roberts preference is for paintings that tell a story, although the interpretation may vary with the viewer. Among the juried exhibitions at which his paintings have been shown are the Hoffberger Gallery , Baltimore Hebrew Congregation, both in Baltimore, Celebration of the Arts in Columbia, Euroart in Barcelona Spain, Quiet Waters Gallery in Annapolis and Frederick Community College in Frederick Maryland
