• Item: "Cloudcroft"
  • Designer/Maker: Robin Bright

    Robin Bright, who was born in New York City in 1934 and received his
    education in New Mexico, Munich, and Paris (the Sorbonne), is a thinking
    man with a world-class background. “If I went blind, I’d write,” he says.
    However, the artist describes himself as “utterly visual,” a reference to
    what he characterizes as the humorless, theory-driven art espoused by
    university academics.

    Despite critical acclaim over the years, support of discriminating
    collectors, and a sterling reputation, Bright exhibits infrequently. His
    last major exhibitions – a stunning retrospective at the Boehm Galley
    (Palomar College, San Marcos) in 2005 that encompassed works dating from
    1973 to 2004, and an exhibition at the Taylor Library, also in 2005 –
    offered inspiring looks at the significance and consistency of his
    artistry. Bright’s art can be found in a number of important public and
    private collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego;
    Santa Fe Museum of Art, Santa Fe, NM; the Johnson & Johnson Corporate
    Collection, New Brunswick, NJ; the Mason Phelps Collection, San Diego; and
    others.
