Led by Geneseo Professor Lynette Bosch, a
class of art history students from SUNY Geneseo
traveled to Fredonia last December to meet in
person with a painter they had been studying all
semester—Alberto Rey of the
Fredonia visual arts
and new media faculty. They had boned
up by studying the images and literature written
about the 20-year span of his work.
On a guided tour of his home studio, the
group gazed at strikingly realistic portraits he
had painted of his parents and other family
members from Cuba, tropical landscapes, details
of Guava fruit, and trout and steelhead found in
rocky streams of the U.S. and exotic location
from the western hemisphere.
“Do you
sleep?” one student asked him, then added, “I
carry your resume around and show my
friends.
