Photographs by Joseph Squillante
June 20, 2009–January 3, 2010
Joseph
Squillante has spent the past three decades traveling the entire length
of the Hudson. Like the Hudson River landscape painters before him, some
of his photographs capture the beauty and romantic quality of the river
while others focus on people who live and work along its shores,
including farmers, fisherman, and biologists. Just as the photographs of
the Adirondacks by Seneca Ray Stoddard in the late 1800s aided in the
designation of the area as a state park, Squillante’s photographs of the
Hudson River raise public awareness of the river’s
importance. His commitment to helping transform the Hudson into a
cleaner and more esteemed natural resource has earned hi
m the respect of
the Hudson River community. He has worked closely with Riverkeeper,
headed by Robert Kennedy, Jr.; the Sloop Clearwater, founded by Pete
Seeger; and Scenic Hudson, founded in 1963 to help protect the Hudson
River Valley. The exhibition will include 30 black-and-white images.
Autographed copies of Joseph Squillante's book,
Hudson River,
a companion piece to the exhibition, will be available for purchase in
the Museum Shop, along with assorted note cards featuring images from
Life Along the Hudson.
Major project support for this exhibition
was provided by Matthew Bender IV.
