Haverford
Celebrates Alumni Photographers with Gallery Exhibit,
May 30-September 21:
Photographs were first acquired for instructional purposes
at Haverford in 1870, and since then, alumni have become photographers of the
first rank, making major contributions to the field. The College is celebrating
this artistic legacy with an exhibit entitled A Century of Haverford Alumni
Photographers, running May 30-September 21 in the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery.
The exhibit includes the work of John G. Bullock ’74; the Vauxes (George
'84, William '93 and their sister Mary, and George’s son George '30);
Edwin Rosskam '24; Peter Moore '55; and Andrew Borowiec '78. The work ranges
from the pictorial landscapes and portraits to the conceptual and documentary
photographs. The exhibit is curated by Professor William Earle Williams, Curator
of Photography and Fine Arts Professor.






Plans for 2008-09
are in the works. Please check back for updates.
