A Fortunate Traveler: The Photographs of Howard Dunn
Tuesday, September 14 through Sunday, October 31 Dunn
Clark Gallery
Howard Dunn has been pursuing his interest in photography for 69 years. He began as a school staff photographer in 1941 and had his first one man show before 1977. From 1977 to his retirement and relocation to Falmouth in 1994, he worked prolifically as a photographer. During this time he travelled extensively and photographically chronicled his experiences throughout the world. Dunn reflected on this period with an exhibition at the Cape Cod Museum of Art entitled “People of the World.” Presently, he works solely on the processing of black and white silver gelatin prints; examples of these works will be on display at Highfield Hall.

Coming in 2011 ...
Birds in the Hall, The Art of Mosaics, The Photography of Mark Chester, and much more.
