Chuck Bauer

Eighteen to Seventy-eight: Sixty Years of Painting, a Chuck Bauer Retrospective.

June 12, 2025 - September 7, 2025

Artist Reception: July 11th, 6-8pm

"I have been painting my whole adult life, experimenting, seeking challenge, discovery, and wonder. My credo is, "What if?"

While ideally any work of art should speak for itself, we have at least one consistently useful method for seeing deeply:

"What did the artist intend to do, did he do it, and was it worth doing."

After sixty years of art making, as an undergraduate (B.F.A,) graduate student (M.A.), business co-founder and co-owner (1972 The Soap Opera, State St., Madison), "Sunday Painter," student of plein air and studio workshops and retreats, occasional instructor, and, starting in 2016, as an active retiree and serious artist, I hope I have, at least more often than not, made something "worth doing."

For over six decades, and counting, it has certainly felt that way to me.

I hope you will agree."
