Aron Gent

Master Bath from the series The Suz, 2006 Aron Gent

Last night was the annual Photography Council of the Milwaukee Art Museum gathering to vote on a piece for acquisition. The Photography Council members are presented with a selection of works chosen by Lisa Hostetler, Associate Curator of Photographs and then vote on which one will be donated by the group. There were 5 very strong pieces to choose from but the voting resulted in favor of this Aron Gent piece, my personal vote.

Spend some time on his new website to appreciate the full series, The Suz, and frankly all of his work.

While the votes were being tallied Stuart Klipper spoke and presented slides of his Antarctica images due to be published in a book this fall. He opened by telling us that poet Robert Frost was once asked to explain one of his poems. His reply, "What, you want me to say it worse?" Use that the next time someone asks you to explain your work.
