About the Artist
David Rosenthal is a Cordova-based artist whose work documents retreating glacial ice and dramatic post-glacial landscapes observed during his 45-year painting career, a period coinciding with the final years of our current geologic Ice Age. Works are paired with text-based reflections from the artist and geologists, oceanographers, biologists, and self-taught naturalists.
