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." ❑ DSO Features Strauss Works Guest conductor Jerzy Semkow and pianist Jean- Philippe Collard are featured in the DSO's performances of Richard Strauss' Burleske for piano and orchestra.
