...The Pittsburgh Art Blog
pittsburgh galleries is reborn anew as The Pittsburgh Art Blog. the blog features selected pittsburgh artists and upcoming exhibits with photos from the artists and galleries. since the major press outlets do not go beyond a directory listing of exhibits, blogs are needed to promote pittsburgh artists and their work. the blog also calls attention to the inferiority complex of pittsburgh art and how it's perpetuated by the major players in town. Started on August 20, 2007.pittsburgh area galleries and art venues are listed at the sister site www.PghGalleries.com.the blog and website are volunteer projects from fine art photographer and pittsburgh art advocate rick byerly, www.RickByerly.com.
I really love Clyde Hare's work. It's amazing to see how this city has changed over the years. Pittsburgh is such a great town, I love being part of this city! Thanks for publicizing the show - I didn't know it was happening!

ReplyDeleteThrough Clyde (Red) Hare's eyes. The view of Pittsburgh and the World unveiled sights, lights and a nuance in Photography. His captures in mili seconds or time lapse left impressions of life, work and nature as pure as the moment. Those who knew him, were often in aw' of him (and his work) as those who did not. Most men leave very little, and for very few. Clyde Hare, left millions of photos to enrich us all.
