ART AND SCIENCE
I have been painting glacial landscapes for over forty years, my paintings represent my best effort to describe accurately the ongoing retreat of glacial ice.
Painting at the End of the Ice Age is a science and art exhibit, created by artist David Rosenthal, based on almost fifty years of experience observing retreating glaciers and other changes in the environment associated with global warming. The exhibit uses Rosenthal's realistic paintings to attract attention to the subject of climate change. Series of paintings showing glaciers changing over time illustrate the dramatic changes seen in the last five decades. Informational narrative, historical and science panels provide context for the paintings and illustrations. Narrative panels provided by David Rosenthal, science and historical panels provided by scientists and other knowledgeable observers. The exhibit is a unique tool for educating people about global warming in a non controversial way.
