The Photography of Anne Heimann
February 19 - April 18, 2010
A
photographic exhibition of 22 images by Anne Heimann will be on exhibit
in our Atrium through April 18, 2010.
This exhibition is a result of Heimann's selection of a small group of photographs that show the abstract beauty of some of the unusual and unique sites she has visited as a photojornalist and artist. The visual textures and patterns that dominate the works reveal how her artistic eye operated in selecting her subjects. While documenting the realistic aspects of her travels, the images reveal the inner workings of an artistic mind that saw textures, patterns, and connections between elements of the natural and man-made worlds.
“All my work is concerned with nature and with man’s continuous efforts to relate to his environment,” said Heimann.
Her
study of photography began in 1960 on a three-year trip to Europe and
the Middle East with her husband, filmmaker James Hubbard. Together
their images have appeared in National Geographic, Natural History,
Smithsonian, and other important publications.
Heimann began her career in 1948 after receiving a BFA from Syracuse University. As a studio artist, she worked with a variety of media including painting, weaving and free-standing sculpture.
