Al was my second cousin. His warmth and at times whimsical sense of humor were such a part of him that they came out in his artwork. Though I never got to know him well, he was a wonderful man as well as artist and architect.

Walter Redding was a wonderfully talented artist and an enormously kind and generous man.
Thomas GoutmanAbout "Dolya Goutman : Tom the Butcher"
One of my Dad’s greatest paintings. Thanks so much for showing it this year. Hope you can make this very complex painting a regular among your rota of your magnificent collection. You are a fabulous art institution and I am so gratified that the tradition continues!
Thomas GoutmanAbout "Francis Speight : Untitled (Manayunk Scene)"
The steeple and church do exist today - this is a view of Holy Family RC Church from the rear (the front is on Hermitage St.) and the row of houses (also still there) are on Gates St.
Carl LumpAbout "Betty W. Hubbard : Norbert Guterman"
I grew up with Norbert Guterman... He was my adopted grandfather and died in my home in Mexico. In fact he wanted to die as a Jewish man and I did the ritual. An event that marked me forever. Im an artist now and have endless stories about him. yours Leopoldo Gout New York 2019
