Painting at the End of the Ice Age Exhibition Description
Science and Art Exhibition
Over 50 years of Rosenthal’s career as a landscape painter, he has observed glacial retreat and the changes in post-glacial landscapes while on scientific research trips in Alaska, Antarctica, Greenland, and the Northwest Passage. He used his artwork to capture the visual story of the changes over time in the glaciers and icefields worldwide. Rosenthals experiencse have given him a chronicle of glacial retreat that is the basis for this exhibit.
