Robert Kehlmann, Painting with Glass: A Retrospective
Interpretive NotesA respected artist and critic, Robert Kehlmann (American, b. 1942) is best known for his work in stained glass, using the leaded glass panel as a "canvas" for abstract compositions in color and light. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he was one of a group of American studio glass artists, living in Northern California's Bay Area, who developed new approaches to stained glass that went beyond conventional techniques, materials, and concepts. The abstracted form and black and white palette of this mosaic, one of Kehlmann's more recent works, is characteristic of the artist's subdued, minimal style.
