Exhibition HistoryToledo Museum of Art, Refraction/Reflection, April 20-September 2, 2012.Label Text“I have been interested in creating simple, strong designs….This interest is usually more easily satisfied with man-made objects than with nature, which is often more complex, even visually chaotic. Nothing I have photographed was better suited to this approach than the whitewashed buildings of the Greek Cyclades Islands.” Howard Bond is one of the best American photographers currently working in the tradition of Ansel Adams and Minor White. It is an added bonus that this nationally known artist is from northwest Ohio. He attended Bowling Green State University and the University of Michigan, graduating with an MA in Music and an MS in Mathematics. He is a recipient of a Michigan Council for the Art Creative Artist Grant and his photographs are included in numerous public and private collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago; the Library of Congress; the National Gallery of Art; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
