Artist Talk--Marty Klein

Marty Klein is fueled by an insatiable and wide-ranging curiosity to see familiar natural forms in new and refreshing ways. Using a flatbed scanner as a camera, Marty Klein captures images of plants and other natural objects with incredible depth and contrast. The images are very different from traditional photographs, yet remain close in spirit, imbued with an arresting vitality. Several new works in this show use specimens gathered by special permission from the Arboretum’s living collections.

Join him for a free evening presentation about his process and inspiration. No registration necessary. Talk will take place in the Hunnewell Building Lecture Hall, 125 Arborway.

New! Arboretum Story Hour

Join us on the Hunnewell lawn for stories of trees told under storied trees! You will be treated to tree, plant, and nature-themed storybooks read by Arboretum staff and volunteers. Readings begin at 11:00am, and we will be outside, weather permitting. Meet at the Hunnewell Building.
