[Donmck]

Every now and then, the art world offers up an unlikely story, and Robert Bergman's is one of them. The 65-year-old photographer went his own way over the past four decades, never selling a work until two years ago, but he nevertheless is about to burst onto the scene with two museum exhibitions this month.

thanks donmck

that was a nice article ..
it is good to know that some people
who are virtually unknown are getting a chance.

the slide show of his work was beautiful.
you can tell bergman has an eye for formal
painterly portraits. one of his subjects even had a nimbus :)
