Walter Hatke

Walter Hatke, May I. Baker Professor of Art, has a solo exhibition of his paintings and drawings, "Walter Hatke: Upstate Diary," on display through November 2 at the Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe, N.M. The forward to the exhibit catalog was written by Jordan Smith, professor of English. "It is my conviction that the best landscapes are those where artists … have firsthand acquaintance," he has said. "One must walk across the land, touch it, note the crunch underfoot, breathe the air, literally smell and taste the atmosphere."
