According to Redstone, now 85, the show represents "all my developments from the late '20s until now. It is a retrospective of things that were a part of my life." It is a life filled with numerous professional achievements, art and ar- chitecture awards, civic ac- tivities and published ar- ticles. Among his achievements are: the Robert F. Hastings Award from the Michigan Society of Ar- chitects, gold medal of the Michigan Society of Ar- chitects, an appointement by former Gov. William Milliken to serve on the Special Com- mission on Art in State Buildings. He was named a fellow, American Institute of Architects; fellow, Engineer- ing Society of Detroit; cor- responding academician, Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, Spain; and honorary fellow, Royal Academy of Fine Arts of the Netherlands. As a student at the Univer- sity of Michigan, where he earned a degree in architec- ture, Redstone undertook water color painting as a course requirement. But, he said he felt he had to express himself "spontaneously," rather than under the con- fines of the class, and turned to water color because "it was adaptable to that." Painting, he explains, became a part of his life — almost a compul- sion — and began a weekend hobby that has spanned 50 years and has gotten his works displayed publicly and in private collec- tions. Redstone's early ex- hibits were at J.L. Hudson's and the Jewish Community Center, and later at the Ar- win Gallery, Interlochen Art Academy, Manufacturer's Na- tional Bank and at an office building at 333 W. Fort St. in Detroit. His works also were accepted for exhibit by Water Color USA, a national water color show. Locally, Redstone's paintings can be seen among the collections of Edward and Ruth Adler Schnee, Dr. Kim and Mado Lie, Mrs. C. Allan Harlan, Carol Wald, Herman Louis Redstone Tauchert, Mr. and Mrs. Ab- bott Schlein, Mrs. Cis Maisel and Mr. and Mrs. William Bostick. - A native of Russian Poland, Redstone left his homeland and went to pre-state Israel as a chalutz. He followed his brother to Detroit, went to U- M and returned to Tel Aviv to help design settlements. He returned to Detroit in 1937 and founded his firm, Louis G. Redstone and Associates. In addition to painting, he sculpts and designs brick and concrete artwork for his buildings. In the Jewish community, Redstone has been active on behalf of the Technion, the Jewish Community Center, Jewish National Fund and the Allied Jewish Campaign. At the Cade Gallery, Redstone will include a large anodized aluminum painting, created by etching the colors onto the aluminum. The pieces are mostly abstract representational. The show continues through May 4.
