Herter Art Gallery has the distinct honor of presenting:

"In The Realm of The Senses: The Works of Richard Yarde"

(1939-2011)

The exhibition has been conceived as a Memorial tribute to the late artist and former Professor of Painting in the Department of Art, Architecture and Art History, at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who died on December 9th, 2011.  In the context of American contemporary art, Richard Yarde  came to be widely regarded as one of the foremost exponents of watercolor painting, whose numerous  technical innovations brought the medium to new plateaus of excellence. Richard Yarde insisted on making painting a language of poetic association; there was always present in  his work  an underlying narrative, generally of a private, deeply spiritual character, that  could never be explained in purely formal terms.  He was an accomplished artist and much beloved teacher, whose legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of his many students, friends and colleagues.
