Film

Monthly columns about film are written by Henry P. Raleigh, Southold, NY, whose often satirical views give readers a good chuckle. Raleigh is Professor Emeritus of Art, SUNY, New Paltz, NY where he taught (also as chair of the Studio Art and Art History Departments and Co-Dean of the Faculty Fine and Performing Arts) since 1968. His love is film. Most of his writings for Art and Educational Journals concern Aesthetics, Creativity and Criticism. He is a fine classical painter with numerous solo exhibitions to his credit.
