We mean Art Rosenbaum, of course, the celebrated painter, Lamar Dodd School of Art instructor for many years, and documenter of folk music, who snagged a Grammy Sunday in the "Historical Album" category for his work in that area. Athens blogger Gordon Lamb has a nice post about Art's award, complete with a YouTube video of Art discussing his The Art of Field Recording II, and the Athens Banner-Herald has an article today by Julie Phillips complete with a sampling from The Art of Field Recording I, the set for which he received the Grammy.
Art had a retrospective here at the museum in 2006-2007, which produced an exhibition catalogue, Weaving His Art on Golden Looms: Paintings and Drawings by Art Rosenbaum, that also includes a documentary by his son, Neil Rosenbaum, It's Not What You Think It Is. The documentary covers Art's history, his approach to painting (which he takes from the Old Masters, building up layers of color to produce deeper, more vibrant flesh tones), and his recording work. An excerpt from the documentary can be watched below:
