While Professor Emeritus of Art Leonard Sussman may be best known to the Baruch community as a faculty member, he is also a highly accomplished photographer. And over the last decade of his nearly 60-year career, Sussman has specialized in capturing the arctic landscape through photographs. These photos, part of an exhibit called “In the Ice,” were taken during a 5,000 mile, 52-day National Science Foundation research cruise on the United States Coast Guard icebreaker, Healy, to understand the impacts of climate change on the Arctic.
“Being and photographing ‘In the Ice’ for over one month was a wondrous and magical experience,” says Sussman. “Though it was a long journey, I never tired of seeing and photographing the landscape.”
