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.

I like the contrast in colors . . . the bright jester against the more subtle background. And, of course, the commentary is pure Doarte!

My Dearest Doctor, please accept our greetings of the most florid type... My intended, Lady constance, and I were enroute to the Odditoria when the above missive do exhalporate from the non-wired aether onto our portable, electronical computational device... Our hats are doffed in respect to the Odditoria's Magic Man and his devoted explorations beneath the boards and deep into the dark and dusty chambres, long forgotten..... Such vermisitude and valdacity surely are of great reward to yourself and the fine, brave staff and interns that you have on the roster.... a great moment, not only for magic... but for science as well, the discoveries which we hope will with eager aboundment be further catalouged on this site.... Huzzah, my crew cried... Huzzah for the advancement of the huan mind, and the Odditoria.... Lady Constance sends her love.... I remain, your servant... Commander, Sir Asimov Vinge Zelazney, Terran Trust and Investigations...

I'm wondering why a Jester is in the place of the dead, trying to work a tuff audience ? looking for inspiration ? oh yeah, looking for his Boss...DOH ! BTW, I wonder if the "Magic MAn" is the same dude that kool band Heart and the Wilson sisters were singing about ?...hmm, just have to wait and see ! ~Cheers~Cheese~&~Cheerio~
