Detail from Bank Shot

"The paintings of Robert Steinem reveal the shimmering quality of the reflective magic of nature. The surface water of a canal inspires within him the pictorial possibilities that he translates poetically into the medium of paint, enabling the viewer to be transported into a state of reverie and mystery."

Walter Kamys
Professor Emeritus of Art
Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst

A few phrases from Steinem's work as a poet:

On the coming of fall: Autumn is a runaway freight train about to derail boxcars loaded with winter...

On the first stirrings of spring: Icicles, barring windows for months, played water music as they returned to earth...

On the horizon line: Open water near the vanishing point shares the air's colors and spreads north and south with the slow pulse of a large heart...


Art, Poetry and Music

Robert Steinem wrote a book of poems based on the paintings of A. Hale Johnson, a collaboration that produced a new and interesting level of the paired artworks with the written word. The resulting show traveled to three states, with music composed for the event performed with the show throughout Massachusetts. The Public Broadcasting System (PBS) of western Massachusetts has produced a series of short films about the combined works, which air in that local market.
