Articulating Robert Harms’ process in an introductory catalog essay, noted curator Henry Geldzahler wrote: “Robert looks hard at nature, ingests what he sees, contemplates it at length, squaring it in the process with his own temperament.” Geldzahler also noted the resonance of the East End environment for Harms, who began painting here in the early 1980s.
