The Photo Art
of Gerry Weintraub

a contemporary Plein-air painter, Gerry Weintraub is in search of the

use of color, Weintraub's work reflects both in spirit and technique
an ideal and stylish version of California that is still an important
part of its national image."

"
Gerry uses a unique blend of the photographic process and traditional
artist process, such as paint and color pencils, to create a new form
of artwork that transcends the media to create images of mood, light
and color."
Lewis Kemper
Editor, Outdoor Photographer and
PC Photo Magazines
"Weintraub's
photographs evoke the style of the "plein air" painters of the late
19th century while transporting you to a state of Zen-like relaxation
at the beach. And I admire his populist pricing, making his art affordable
to almost everyone."
Stephen
Perloff, Editor
The Photo Review Journal
