"Susan Middleton and David Liittschwager have developed an artistic territory and approach unknown, I believe, before they created it. The artist as reporter is one way to put it. Or, reaching back to Chauvet, Altamira, and Lascaux, the artist in service to society, reinvented in an age of biological'alarm. What they seek is the unaffiliated image, a portrait that shows as much concern for the subject's independence as it does for the viewer's. This is what gives the work its stunning integrity, what makes the images twice beautiful."
