William Wegman: Dogs on Rocks

Description

This volume of photographs by William Wegman feature images taken of his famous Weimaraners in Maine, including while the artist was in residence at The Acadia Summer Arts Program (A.S.A.P.) or at his own home. Many of these stunning shots—of the dogs alone, in pairs, or in groups—take advantage of the breathtaking vistas of Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, where the program was located. Wegman's formal portraits of the animals are framed by the natural beauty and muted tones of the island's forest and rocky beach.

The Acadia Summer Arts Program was founded by Marion Boulton Stroud, founder of The Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia.
