Rita Crane at her Photography Show ~ Grace Hudson Museum
Dear Flickr friends, I am looking forward to uploading some more textured photos of favorite scenes of Europe, but first need to finish some Mendocino projects, including a discussion among photographers -- open to the public -- at the Grace Hudson Museum this weekend. The event is part of our group show. www.gracehudsonmuseum.org/events.html
Each artist has about 8 pieces exhibited in this truly professional and beautiful space.
THE PHOTOGRAPHERS PANEL DISCUSSION:
Join an exchange of viewpoints by the artists and the exhibition curator, Marvin Schenck, as they discuss their subjects and their photography techniques. Photographers who will be present to answer your questions are:
Bill Brazill, Rita Crane, Jon Klein, Tom Liden, and Peter W. Stearns. Sunday January 17th from 2 to 4 PM.
ABOUT THE GRACE HUDSON MUSEUM:
Grace Hudson [ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Hudson ] was a nationally known painter of romanticized portraits of Native Americans, landscapes, and animals. Her parents were artists as well: her mother was a painter, and her father A. O. Carpenter was a photographer who documented early Mendocino of the late 19th century. Many people know that the early history of California involved brutal displacement of Native American tribes, and here we had the Mendocino Wars of the mid-1860's. The Carpenter family settled and lived in the county towards the end of this violent period. Their legacy had nothing to do with the bloodshed but I bring it up because that is part of the recent history of the so-called "wild west' and you can see how much the local history influenced the paintings of Grace Hudson.
Here is an excellent link about Grace Hudson and her parents, with photos: plantwhateverbringsyoujoy.com/?p=1494
Here is some information about Grace's photographer father, A.O. Carpenter: www.ceraexhibits.org/exhibits/photo/aocarpenter/documents...
