Robert Seydel

ROBERT SEYDEL (1960-2011), a professor at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, was an artist and writer who left behind a layered and original body of work. Seydel’s interrelated series incorporated collage, drawing, photography, narrative and lyric writing, often using various personae and fictional constructs, such as Ruth Greisman whose works are collected in Book of Ruth (Siglio, 2011) and A Picture Is Always A Book (Siglio, 2014). Songs of S. is embedded with eclectic knowledge and marked by an unrelenting sense of play.
