We recently lost our beloved member Frank Manzo, who passed away on March 31, 2026, at the age of 85. Born on October 23, 1940, Frank was a resident of Brooklyn and Roxbury New York.
An architect and photographer, Frank, along with his painter and printmaker wife Laini became founding members of Longyear Gallery, nearly 20 years ago. Frank Manzo has also exhibited his photographs at the Roxbury Arts Group, the Salmagundi Club and at the Catskill Center’s Erpf Gallery.
“Since photographs strive to capture the visual effect of the temporal changes in light that lend an atmospheric sense to a two dimensional image and the quality and changes of light inform the image, assuring that each image is unique, the challenge is to create both an interesting composition with painterly qualities that resent to the viewer more than one interpretation, thus allowing one to see different aspects each time it is viewed.”
Our hearts go out to his wife Laini, and their family. We will miss Frank and remember him always.
