Art at Ariana Gallery in Bir-
mingham from May 11 to
June 3. Another show,
scheduled for June 24 - July
15 at the University of
Michigan Berkshire-Hilton
Gallery in Ann Arbor, will
benefit the University of
Michigan School of Art.
All of the pictures, which
range in price from
$250-$800, were shot on
Nederlander's travels across
the United States, as she
searched out color, color and
more color. Whenever there's
a colorful event coming up,
such as the Azalea Festival in
Alabama or the fall color
change in New England,
Nederlander makes plans to
be hand.
"As a painter, I was a col-
orist above all else," she says.
"And, as a photographer, my
painter's sensibilities remain.
"(In a picture) I want to
show mood and movement
and motion," says
Nederlander. "And, along
with that, I think a picture
should be beautiful,
something that makes you
feel good when you look at it,
something that becomes a
kind of window on your wall
that can bring you pleasure."
Nederlander grew up on
Palmer Woods, in the same
house her parents, Janet and
Morris Berman, live in today.
(She is the great-great grand-
daughter of Mark Sloman, a
civic leader and founder of
Temple Beth El, and the
great-granddaughter of Lottie
Sloman, the first president of
the sisterhood of Temple Beth
El.)
"As far back as I can
remember, my parents felt I
was talented, and always en-
couraged me to develop my
art," she says. "I was sent to
art classes, and I grew up
thinking of myself as an ar-
tist," she says. "My parents
made me feel I was very
special that way."
After studying at U-M for
two years, her career as an ar-
tist was put on hold when she
met and married Robert
Nederlander, and began to
raise a family. When sons
Bobby and Eric (now 23 and
25) were old enough for
school, Nederlander re-
enrolled at U-M, however, to
pursue a degree in art
therapy instead of painting.
"I thought that would be a
way to still use my art
background, and be more
vital," she explains. "Being
an artist is a very difficult
thing anywhere in Michigan
— to become established, and
feel there's a market for your
work. Frankly, there came a
point in my life when I didn't
want to paint another picture,
because I knew that all I was
4
Nederlander's photo subjects are from nature or just scenic sites.
going to do was put it on the
floor in the basement, and
there were already a lot of pic-
tures on the floor in my base-
ment."
Eventually, Nederlander
received a doctorate in art
therapy, and established a
practice in Franklin (where
she's still active today).
Back then, her new profes-
sional status didn't alter her
essential self-image of wife
and mother, though, and
when her marraige ended,
she found herself less
prepared than most for the
aloneness and other ad-
justments she had to face.
"Everyone goes through
change at some point in life,
of course," she says. "The dif-
ference between me and other
people was that I had never
been on my own. I was used
to always having other people
around. I'd never travelled
alone, for instance. I didn't
even write checks. It was a
gigantic adjustment."
To learn to get along on her
own, she made up her mind to
travel, alone, to New York
each weekend and stay at her
Manhattan apartment, ar-
ranging everything herself,
making out her own
schedules.
"I'd do my own thing," she
says. "I had to answer to no
one. And I grew to like it."
Gradually, her trips took
her to places other than New
York, and became an integral
part of her life and, eventual-
ly, of her art.
She emphasizes today that
the photos in Changing Views
are a direct result of the
changes she experienced
when the marriage ended.
"When my husband of 23
years came in one day, and
told me he'd had a change of
heart, my life changed .. .
and, from that change these
pictures came to be," she
writes, in an introduction to
the book.
Today, Nederlander is
travelling more than ever, in
this country and abroad. Just
recently returned from her
third trip to China, she's
headed for Mexico in mid-
April to search out color, with
maybe a brief stopover in
Texas to catch the peak of the
wildflower season on film.
While in China, she shot
more than 25 rolls of film —
almost 1,000 pictures — all of
which represent a slight
departure from the scenes in
nature she usually focuses on.
"I took pictures of people,"
she says. "I had to. There
were people everywhere I
looked." ❑
