About the Artist
Born in Egypt to European parents, Mr. Nadler moved to New York as a teenager and graduated from Cornell University with a degree in civil engineering. It was in the 1950’s, while stationed in Japan as a US Air Force officer, that he began his life-long dedication to pictorially recreating the environment he was in. His work as a construction manager took him around the world, supervising projects in locations ranging from Iran, where he met his wife Serga, to Brussels, to more local projects in Morristown and Chester, NJ. Now retired, Mr. Nadler and his wife continue to travel extensively.
Mr. Nadler shoots only in color, capturing the vibrant images he encounters. He always seeks to capture images in a new place, he says, “while the eye is fresh, while the subject is novel or different or beautiful”.
