The Art Critic

In Richard Bartholomew's life, photography was integral to the process by which "the theatre of the mind" became "the house of the eye". And in this "house", the life of the householder, lover and parent was inseperable from the photographer's and the critic's lives of writing, reading, thinking and viewing. Photography becomes a means of capturing this interlacing of life and art in "experience" (a word Richard loved to use in his writing), so that "the history of art as it is chronicled and described" is realized as part of an individual "sensibility".
