Robert M. Cartmell

He was a great man...

Bob was a great teacher at SUNY Albany. I studied print making with him.

R.I.P. Bob

Heartfelt condolences to Diana and to the family. I long admired Bob as an artist and was thrilled when he suggested trading a piece.
It was a pleasure, always, to see him. He was a bright light in the arts community and I was happy for his recent solo shows at Laffer Gallery and at Albany Center Gallery where I first saw his work many years earlier. He made significant, innovative contributions to printmaking and to the freedom of art making. He will be missed by so many friends and...

He was at one time not only my best friend but also my mentor. He so graciously when I asked to teach me his Glass Transfer painting. I was even part of a grant he got to study the art.

The first time I saw Bob, he was pushing a grocery cart at SUNY Albany in the printmaking hall. I had the great pleasure of working with him as a graduate student, even for a short time.

R.I.P. Bob!

Diana and family,
I am sorry to read of your loss. I hope the memories of your many years together will be a comfort. I greatly admired his paintings. Thinking of you,

I am sorry for your loss, I never got to meet Mr. Cartmell however I read his rollercoaster information with great interest and appreciate it very much. I think of him when I ride certain coasters and believe he put some rides on the map, long before the internet existed. Many thanks for his great information!
