Dan Gottlieb

Artist Bio

“I confess to photographic tendencies of a late 19th Century Pictorialist, yet layered, like nature, with elements of order and chance, fixed and variable.”

Dan Gottlieb was born in New York City and lives in Durham, NC. He studied art and biology as an undergraduate, and holds a Master’s in Art Administration. He was a cabinetmaker before beginning his long career as a museum designer.  Since 1990, Dan has directed planning at the North Carolina Museum of Art and guided development of its Museum Park.

Gottlieb’s dream-like imagery combines photography and painting, revealing extended moments in nature.
