Gallery De Silva
Robert Carty is a native Californian who received his M.F.A. from the California College of Arts and Crafts in 1957 where he studied with Diebenkorn and Nathan Oliveira. From 1958-1961 he lived and worked in Florence, Italy at the Academia di Belle Arti. Having done a teaching stint at Ventura Junior College he now resides in Santa Barbara where he is teaching and working.
The show includes figurative paintings in combination with landscape and pure landscapes with much of the Diebenkorn influence remaining in his treatment of paint and figures. He frequently places his figures in the foreground
