Critique of Harry Orlyk's artwork on display
at the Carrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson NY "The Chrome of Creation"
"My attraction to his [Orlyk] farm landscapes probably owes something to my own family history of potato farming in Aroostook County, Maine. My grandparents on both sides were among 6,000 farmers in that county in the 1930s and 40s…I have been so inspired by Orlyk's work…I think this is what art is all about…it expands our own horizons when we meet an extraordinary individual like Harry Orlyk who is willing to share his love of life and his dedication to his art with everyone."
