Robert Bero (1941–2007) was an American artist and print maker who won critical acclaim for his detailed depictions of trees and landscapes. Best known for his etchings and woodcuts, Bero also worked in pen and ink, crayon, pastel, pencil, water color and collage. He served on the faculties of the State Universities of New York at Potsdam and at Purchase, Ramapo College in New Jersey and Brown University in Rhode Island. A long-time resident of Tuxedo Park, New York, in 2009 the town put up an exhibition of his work at the newly restored, historic Tuxedo Park Train Station.

Bero had a long and productive career as a printmaker, artist and educator. He was first accorded a major retrospective exhibition at Nyack’s Edward Hopper Foundation in 1978. Since that time, his prints have been exhibited at the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, Cornell University, Yale University, the Museum of Fine Arts, Cincinnati, and at the Society of American Graphic Artists. His art has received numerous awards and grants, including the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award, a Fulbright Grant, the Benicke Grant and Purchase Prizes from the Library of Congress. Some of his best known pieces include First Snow, Small Poplar, and Large Poplar.
