About the Item

"I like to go back to a place. Seasons change. Light, which is theater, changes. Nature is tumultuous, and our contact with it makes life happen.” - David H. Gibson David H. Gibson is a lifelong photographer whose first contact with the medium was in his father's darkroom before he could read. Gibson received a B.A. from Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana, and an M.A. at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. His early work in theater lighting enhanced his photographic education which is largely self-directed. Valley House Gallery has shown his photographs since 1990, just after he had his first solo exhibition at the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York. Since 1990, Gibson’s work has been featured in Aperture, Hasselblad Forum, Photo Technik International, PHOTOgraphic, and View Camera, and has been the subject of multiple books. His work has been acquired by many museums, including the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, the Ballinglen Foundation in Ireland, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Gibson’s work has been exhibited at the AIPAD Photography Show (Wm. Floyd Gallery, New York), the Amarillo Museum of Art (Texas), the Amon Carter Museum (Fort Worth), the Art in Embassies Program (Dublin, Ireland and Lima, Peru), la Biennale Photographique: Terre Ciel Mer (Montpellier, France), the High Museum of Art (Atlanta), the Houston Museum of Natural Science, The McKinney Avenue Contemporary (Dallas), The Menil Collection (Houston), Photo-Eye Gallery (Santa Fe), the Special Photographers Company (London), and the Tyler Museum of Art (Texas). The overall dimensions, including the 8-ply rag mat, are 29 x 29 inches. This photograph is from an edition of 48.

  • "A Perkiomen October" Hand-Colored Photograph
    By Wallace Nutting
    Located in Soquel, CA
    "A Perkiomen October" Hand-Colored Photograph Brightly oil paints colored black and white photograph of a pond by Wallace Nutting (American, 1861 - 1941). The viewer looks out across a glass pond, reflecting the scenery above. The pond is surrounded by trees that have been tinted in various shades of yellow, red, and green. Beyond the trees, puffy white clouds hang in a soft blue sky. Signed in the lower right, below the photograph, on the backing mat: Wallace Nutting Titled in the lower left, below the photograph, on the backing mat: A Perkiomen October Tag on verso from the artist. Presented in a wood frame with a tan backing mat. Frame size: 18.5"H x 22.5"W Image size: 10.5"H x 13"W Wallace Nutting (American, 1861-1941) was an American minister, photographer, artist, and antiquarian, who is most famous for his landscape photos of New England. He also was an accomplished author, lecturer, furniture maker, antiques expert and collector. His atmospheric photographs helped spur the Colonial Revival style. Nutting graduated from high school in Augusta, Maine. He studied at Phillips Exeter Academy, Harvard University, Hartford Theological Seminary and Union Theological Seminary. He graduated from Harvard with the class of 1887. Nutting earned a Doctor of Divinity degree from Whitman College in 1893. He received an honorary doctor of Humanities from Washington & Jefferson College in 1938. Nutting began his career as a Congregational minister in several towns including Minneapolis, Seattle, and Providence and Fryeburg, Maine, but he was forced to retire at age 43 because of poor health. He suffered from neurasthenia, and turned to bicycling as a means of relaxation and improving his health. It was on these bicycle rides in the countryside that Nutting started taking photographs. In 1904 he opened the Wallace Nutting Art Prints Studio on East 23rd Street in New York. After a year he moved his business to a farm in Southbury, Connecticut. He called this place "Nuttinghame". In 1912 he moved the photography studio to Framingham, Massachusetts, in a home he called "Nuttingholme". That year he published a catalog of prints that was 97 pages and included about 900 images. By 1915, Nutting claimed to be earning $1,000 per day. Nutting's photographs ranged in subject and price to suit a variety of tastes. His catalog included pastoral scenes such as views of abbeys, cathedrals, bridges, mountains, flowers, and winding roads. One of his most common themes was "Colonials", which were photos of women...
