d. dominick lombardi of the new york times, reviewing bero's exhibition at dobbs ferry's hudson river gallery, wrote that: “… robert bero expands the visual language of a familiar genre. in mr. bero's case, it is the landscape. using a multitude of mediums including woodcut, conte crayon and watercolor he renders the intricacies of the natural world in a very intense way. dancing leaves, flitting snowflakes, twisting tree limbs—everything one notices when looking carefully and systematically at nature can be found here. most impressive are two works: 'winter woods tuxedo park,' and an untitled watercolor, pastel and conte crayon work…as part of the exhibition, the handmade laminated birch wood plate, his wooden baren used in place of a press, and the carving tool used to create 'winter woods tuxedo park' is placed nearby so gallery visitors can get some idea of the dedication and skill needed to produce such a monumental work.”
