Valedictorian of his high school, Ré went on to earn a BSc in Physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1972, graduating with honors (fifth in his class). Ré selected as medium the drawing pencil. Ré started exhibiting in California and New Mexico during the 1970s. Since then, he has had 22 solo exhibits in 13 states, including those at the UNM Jonson Gallery, Albuquerque Museum, Triangle Gallery, Wichita Museum, Sumter Gallery, J. B. Speed Museum, the Colorado Springs Museum and the Karpeles Museum. In 1979, Ré created the embossing works which gave a tactile form to his visual creations and the resulting exhibition “TOUCHABLE ART: An Exhibit for the Blind and the Sighted” traveled in the United States and into Canada from 1981 to 1994. The exhibition, with 18 showings, was met with great success and a handmade, Thermoformed companion volume with braille and text was produced in 1983. A documentary film on his Touchable Art was produced by SCETV in 1990. He is now making a second tactile exhibit INSPIRED BY NATURE which is dedicated to environmental conservation. In 1993, the volume "THE DANCE OF THE PENCIL: Serene Art by Paul Ré” collected and chronicled the development of Ré's work up to that date. Music is another facet of Ré's creativity. His 50-minute recording COMPOSITIONS FOR CLASSICAL GUITAR included an introduction to the traveling exhibit TOUCHABLE ART FOR THE BLIND AND SIGHTED. This was reviewed in the Summer 1986 issue of THE LOG OF THE BRIDGETENDER of the American Council of the Blind by Editor Sue Tullos. Paul has received enthusiastic reviews from scientists and Nobel Laureates Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Richard Feynman and Roger Sperry; artists Georgia O'Keeffe, Raymond Jonson, and Ed Garman; Caltech President Emeritus Tom Everhart and many others. http://www.paulre.org/dance.html In 2007, the University of New Mexico established a bi-annual peace prize named after Paul Bartlett Ré in recognition of his active work for promoting peace in the world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Ré」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
