About the Artist

After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design, Robert L. Barry went to on to attain a Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale University where he studied under Rico LeBrun, Herbert Matter, Joseph Albers, and Paul Rand.

A traditionalist in both technique and approach, he states, "I am concerned with the effects of light and shadow, and endeavor to combine these with a particular mood and quality of atmosphere-- all rendered with meticulous brushwork".

His work has been exhibited at the Cove Gallery in Ogunqit, Maine; Ocean Edge, Brewster; The Boston Athenaeum, Boston; and the Lillian Heidenberg Gallery in New York City.

Mr. Barry's paintings can be found in the permanent collection of the Boston Athenaeum, as well as the private collections in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Florida, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and internationally in Paris, Toronto, and Calgary.
