Tom Uttech, Magic Beyond Belief

In his essay for the catalogue of this List Gallery exhibition of Tom Uttech's magnificent paintings of nature, Robert Cozzolino, Senior Curator and Curator of Modern Art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts quoted from naturalist Aldo Leopold's "A Sand County Almanac". "There are some who can live without wild things and there are some who cannot." It is pretty clear to anyone looking at these beautiful works of art, that Tom Uttech is a man who cannot live removed from nature. His love for wildness is overflowing.
